Wendy Hunter
Registered Psychotherapist
I provide counselling services to children, teens, parents and families. I offer effective strategies and coping skills to enrich their lives and better navigate challenges with confidence and hope. My own life experiences are similar to many of my clients. I remember the people that helped my family when I was young, and I wanted to give back when I grew up. Their support, empathy, compassion and impact are why I became a Child Counsellor and Parent Coach, and ultimately a Registered Psychotherapist. Everyone needs extra support during challenging times.
My career has always been rooted in working with and supporting children and their families. I worked as an Early Childhood Educator, Resource Teacher, Parent Educator, and Outreach Worker in Simcoe County for many years before returning to school as a single parent and launching a career as a Registered Psychotherapist.
Today I provide support and education to children, parents and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, loss and grief, ADHD, learning disabilities and trauma among other issues. I teach children and teens how to cope, manage emotions, and problem solve.
