Duré Psychotherapy

Compassion, warmth, and collaboration are at the heart of my practice. I believe healing unfolds when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued. My goal is to create safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental spaces where each person’s story is honoured with empathy, respect, and curiosity. I view therapy as a collaborative journey in which clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is to walk alongside them with openness and care.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). My path to psychotherapy began with a Bachelor of Arts in Childhood and Youth Studies and a Minor in Psychology. Before pursuing graduate training, I worked for over six years as a supply teacher, where I developed a deep appreciation for the diverse needs of children, youth, and families, and strengthened my ability to meet people with patience, empathy, and flexibility.

I am passionate about supporting individuals navigating cultural identity, generalized and social anxiety, relational trauma, and depression. My research has focused on the psychological effects ofth the adultification bias on Black girls and women, exploring how early misperceptions of maturity shape identity, belonging, and mental health. This work informs my clinical perspective and deepens my commitment to providing affirming, equity focused care for clients from diverse backgrounds.

In sessions, I draw on a client-centred approach and integrate elements of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Parts Work (IFS-informed), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and self-compassion practices. I support clients in building self-awareness, reconnecting with strengths, and moving toward meaningful growth and well-being.

My training emphasizes the integration of mind, body, and when important to the client, spirituality. This holistic perspective allows space to explore questions of meaning, purpose, and resilience, whether from a secular or spiritual lens.

I am currently welcoming new clients (18+) for individual, family, and couples therapy.
