Serena Slatten

Whatever has brought you here—the weariness of depression, the struggle of addiction, the heaviness of anxiety, the uncertainty of life in its entirety—I welcome you. Whether you have experienced trauma, are going through a life transition, or just need someone who will listen without judgement or scorn, I’m here for you. My passion and goal as a clinician is to hold the space for you, move with you through your darkness, guide you to peace and well-being, and help you live a life you love.

I specialize in relationship issues for individuals and couples; addiction and recovery, including harm reduction; and general supportive counselling. These issues might present as toxic relationships, codependency, breakups, suicidal ideation, communication conflicts, and even the little traumas of our everyday lives that can grow to be so overwhelming.

I take an empowering, compassionate, and holistic approach to rebuild self-love, self-worth, self-respect, and damaged relationships. I am very down-to-earth and approachable — not the stoic, serious therapist you see in movies. With me (and my fluffy sidekick, Chester, in the photo), you can expect that your sessions will include a lighter atmosphere, a warmth and friendliness, and likely a laugh or two.

It is my ultimate pleasure and privilege to work with you and I look forward to being part of your life.
