Meg Pirie
(she/her) MA, MSW, RSW
Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist
I’m so glad you’ve taken this first step; it’s not easy. My goal is to create a space that is warm, comfortable, and ‘compassionately curious.’ I use a combination of holistic therapeutic approaches because there’s no one-size fits all and actively work to decolonize mental health support. The lens I look through is strengths-based, person-centred, and intersectional. For me, therapeutic safety is rooted in genuine relationships, mindful presence, and social justice. When we can be witnessed without judgement as fully formed, nuanced humans, the seeds for self-acceptance and self-compassion can take root.
I came to this point in my life along a (proudly) humbling, winding path. I have experience counselling children and youth, supporting individuals with spinal cord injuries and chronic conditions, assisting and advocating alongside folks as they navigate various institutions and social systems, providing sexual violence prevention training, helping young adults with career questions and holistic emotional wellbeing, facilitating community-based writing and arts groups for unhoused folks, and working as a full spectrum doula with a focus on pregnancy and infant loss support.
If you would like to know more about my experience and training, please see my Linkedin profile for more information.
