CANADIAN CERTIFIED COUNSELLOR

CERTIFIED CLINICAL SUPERVISOR

Hi, I’m Meredith Crough. I am a practicing psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and mental health educator with over a decade of experience in the helping field. I hold an MA in Counselling Psychology, am registered as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS) and am the Program Coordinator for a non-profit trauma therapy clinic supporting survivors of relationship violence and complex developmental trauma. I have also worked as a therapist and anti-violence advocate in a variety of settings including transitional housing, residential addictions rehabilitation facilities, as well as municipal, provincial and federal correctional settings. I have served in frontline, professional, and leadership capacities and have a passion to apply my experience in the trenches of frontline work to help the helpers. I have lived experience of the challenges of our work including vicarious PTSD, burnout, systemic fatigue as well as the joys of helping work in engaging the sorrows of the world with compassion, and solidarity in our shared humanity. I hold the belief of the philosopher Socrates, who taught us that the job of educators is to be a “midwife” to the inherent wisdom that lies within each of us. In my personal professional life, I seek to uphold the fundamental dignity of all those I meet with—including clients, workers, psychotherapists, friends, and community—and to support others in accessing their innate capacities for courage and care, and to enact justice through the relational encounter of psychotherapy, supervision, and education. My goal in working with you is to offer the safety, curiosity, and space you need to access wisdom, build your resilience, and feel nourished and refreshed in your work and life.
