Michaela Taylor

MSW, RSW
Registered Social Worker
Psychotherapist

Hi, I’m Michaela! I am an MSW graduate from the University of Windsor who had the pleasure of
completing my last practicum with Psychotherapy for You Canada! I also hold an Honours Bachelor of
Behavioural Psychology. I have spent the last 7 years working in acute inpatient and emergency psychiatric care. My experience includes supporting individuals of all ages, from 5-90. As such, I have a good grasp on some of the most pressing psychosocial issues that impact individuals across the lifespan. I believe every human being is unique and there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Each person deserves to seek counseling with a therapist who tailors their approach to what fits the client best. I promise to meet you where you are at, whether you have set goals, or are just looking for a safe space to reflect on current life stressors. I am extremely passionate about helping people through some of life’s most stressful and challenging situations and developing useful skills to do so. I firmly believe that compassion and empathy are the cornerstones for developing positive working relationships with individuals. Additionally, I believe that therapy should  a collaborative approach that is beneficial for each client. I can’t wait to connect and figure out how I can best support you!
