Ngozi Udekwu
I am a licensed Social Worker (RSW) with Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I am very passionate in my work of helping people with experiences of Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorder, and Trauma especially with new immigrants, individuals experiencing homelessness, and concurrent disorder. I also have experiences with individuals facing the difficult journey of loss, bereavement, and terminal illnesses.

I employ a collaborative, holistic, and caring approach to therapy in my work with the aim of cultivating hope, facilitating healing, and promoting resilience. I am dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where clients feel comfortable enough to talk about difficult issues and emotions without fear of judgment. I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each client and work with them at their own pace. I find great satisfaction in working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. In my work with individuals struggling with their mental and emotional health, relationship issues, and life challenges, I collaborate with them to establish treatment goal plan for recovery.

As a clinical therapist, I see every day as having its rewarding experience because of the significant positive impact I make in the lives of individuals, promoting holistic recovery journey, healing, change, acquisition of better coping skills, and pursuit of. independence. I provide individual counselling and facilitate various psychotherapy groups such as DBT skills group, CBT- mood and anxiety group, and crisis group for behaviour change and better coping of individuals navigating life struggles to improve their quality of life. My best practices are based on Trauma Informed, Strength-Based and Anti-Oppressive care with core therapeutic focus on DBT and Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
