Amy Friesen, BSW, RSW

Hi there, and Welcome!

Whether you're a parent looking for someone to support your teen or young adult, or a young person navigating the ups and downs of growing up - I'm here to help. I have spent years specializing in working with youth and young adults (up to age 21) who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or challenges at home, school, work, or in relationships. I approach therapy with warmth, creativity, and a belief that connection between client and therapist is key. Our sessions might involve art, writing, reflection, or just real & honest conversation - whatever best helps us explore your world together. Your growth and healing is important to me, and I feel honoured to walk alongside my clients as they overcome hardships or celebrate joys!

As your therapist, I am...

• Compassionate and empathetic

• Fun-loving and approachable

• Genuinely curious about your story

• Supportive, accepting, and kind

• Encouraging and validating where you're at

​

I’m a registered social worker (MCSW #4767), a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Booth University College. I’ve spent time working in child welfare and as a school-based counsellor, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Counselling Psychology to continue growing in the work I love.

​

My goal is simple: to offer a safe, encouraging space where each client feels seen, supported, and empowered to move forward in their own unique way.

A bit about me...

I’m a wife and mom to one very loved little boy, with another baby boy joining our family in September 2025. My family is my heart, and you'll often find me spending time with them (or sneaking in snuggles with our sweet dog Luna). I’m a big fan of Brene Brown, real connection, and helping people embrace who they are. I feel so honored to walk alongside young people and their families through life’s hard and beautiful moments.
