Adrienne Wilson, Counsellor
she/her, MEd, MSW (c)

Hi, I’m Adrienne and I am currently a student working towards my Master of Social Work degree through Wilfrid Laurier University.  I’ve been working with children and youth in therapeutic environments for nearly ten years and I have decided recently to pursue my MSW so I can expand my scope of practice.

I believe in making space for youth that is supportive and non-judgemental so they can feel safe expressing and exploring their feelings and experiences. I aim to support youth as they build upon their self-esteem, find their resilience, and develop skills to thrive outside of the office space. My goal is to work towards understanding each person’s unique circumstances, needs, and strengths.

When I’m not working, there is a good chance you can find me exploring outside with my family, watching hockey, or playing boardgames.
