Amy Friesen

BSW, RSW

I work with children, teens, and young adults, supporting them through anxiety, transitions, and emotional challenges. I offer a warm, steady presence and practical tools to help young people feel more confident and understood.

As your therapist, you can expect me to be:

  • Compassionate, relaxed and empathetic

  • Approachable, fun-loving and down-to-earth

  • Genuinely curious about your story

  • Supportive, accepting, and kind

  • Encouraging and validating right where you are

My education and designations...

I’m a Registered Social Worker (MCSW #4767) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Booth University College and have experience in child welfare and school-based counselling. I’m currently working toward my Master’s in Counselling Psychology to continue growing in the work I love.

Whether you’re a parent looking for support for your teen, or a young person navigating the ups and downs of growing up, you don’t have to do this alone.

My Approach

Hi there — I’m so glad you’re here! Whether you’re a parent looking for support for your teen, or a young person navigating the ups and downs of growing up, you don’t have to do this alone. I work with youth and young adults (up to age 21) who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life. Adolescence can be heavy - for both kids and parents and I consider it a privilege to step into that space with care. 

My approach to therapy is warm, creative, and real! Sometimes that looks like art or writing, and playing fun games. Sometimes it’s honest conversation and reflection. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is key - when you feel safe and understood, meaningful growth can happen. As your therapist, I aim to be compassionate, approachable, genuinely curious about your story, and encouraging right where you are.

More About Me.... 

I’m a wife and mom to two very loved little boys - we welcomed our newest baby in early September 2025, and life has been beautifully full ever since. When I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me spending time with my family or sneaking in snuggles with our sweet dog, Luna. It’s an honour to walk alongside young people and their families through life’s hard and hopeful moments.
