Hi I’m Dana Wilson
Valuing one’s voice, vulnerability, identity, lived experiences and time is at the heart of the support I share with clients. I am person centered in my approach and engage in judgement-free conversations to build a therapeutic relationship that leads to a path of wellness and improvement. I utilize modalities that best meet the needs of the client and collaboratively tailor a plan to achieve your goals.

A little bit more about me...
I have always enjoyed spending time with people and helping them to achieve their goals. I have worked as an educator in the role of teacher, Special Education facilitator, principal and mentor for almost 20 years. This experience in education allowed me the privilege to work with diverse children, adolescents and adults valuing the importance of empathetic listening and collaboration. These relationships and partnerships have broadened my understanding of the uniqueness of individual stories, strengths, resilience and identity. My past in education, along with a Masters in Education and Masters in Psychology grant me the lens to take a solution focus and collaborative approach to psychotherapy. Based on the needs and experiences of the client, I approach therapy using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Somatic Psychotherapy. Personally, I live with my husband and two sons where we enjoy the outdoors through running, trail riding, cycling and swimming.
I am currently a master’s level MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student who is qualified to practice at the practicum site under the clinical supervision of an approved practicum Supervisor, Michelle Brans MACP RP.
