Shannon Carroll, M.Ed.

Registered Psychotherapist

(She/Her)

I have always seen myself as a helper; a big sister, a supportive friend, a camp counsellor, a volunteer. I began my career as an elementary school teacher, and while I loved many things about teaching, I realized that I wanted to help in a different way. After completing my Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto, I spent 12 years at a children’s mental health centre where I worked primarily with teenagers and caregivers. It was in this work that I discovered my passion for helping others uncover and strengthen their innate abilities to cope with challenges, process difficult past experiences, and find new meaning and understanding in their lives.

I have a particular interest in helping those experiencing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. I also enjoy working with parents and caregivers, whether on parenting approaches or personal struggles that interfere with their ability to be the parent they want to be. My training and approach in this work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and attachment theory. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Circle of Security Parenting (COSP).

I am a Registered Psychotherapist in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am also a mom, a musician, a camper, a baker, and an avid do-it-yourselfer! We all have many parts that make us who we are. At times they seem to conflict and cause tension or anxiety. But they can also work together, like pieces of a puzzle or instruments in an orchestra that create something unique and beautiful. This is when we thrive! I enjoy helping people recognize and understand the various parts of themselves in order to promote balance and harmony in their lives. It is my goal to help others in their quest to improve their quality of life, move forward with confidence, and find peace in their lives, in their relationships, and in their hearts.
