Hello! I am so glad that you are taking this brave step for yourself.
I am a Registered Social Worker practicing psychotherapy in Waterloo and virtually across Ontario.
I believe strongly in the power that relationships, connection, and community play in our wellbeing. I walk alongside individuals and couples navigating major transitions and experiences in their lives with the aim of supporting healing, values alignment, mind-body connection, and self-compassion.
I work with folks navigating complex change and trauma - concerns like complex fertility and postpartum health journeys (including TRMR and abortion), grief, trauma, family dynamics, childhood trauma, co-parenting, relational trauma, depression, and anxiety.
I practice collaboratively, which means we will work together to co-create a space where you can explore your unique stories and goals with openness and curiosity. You can expect a space in which you set the agenda, and we work together to get curious, plan strategies, and gently challenge stories that are no longer working for you.
I hold certification in Death, Dying, and Bereavement, and have trained in Perinatal Mental Health and Psychotherapy, Gottman Method for couples and relationships, and trauma processing. I primarily work within Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) frameworks, and may draw upon Solutions Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I ground my work in lenses including feminist, Polyvagal, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) theories.
Outside of working with clients, you can often find me adding to my TBR list, on a bike, or lifting weights. I am a Director at Emmanuel Early Learning and Care, and am a member of the National Abortion Federation.
If you have questions about working together, if you would like to discuss Sliding Scale fees, or if you would like to connect in writing instead of a Discovery Call, please email me at carly.greco.msw@gmail.com for more information.
