As a master’s student in Counselling Psychology, I am completing my practicum with Conscientia Counselling. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their unique paths toward growth, healing, and self-discovery. My background is rooted in Disability Studies, and for over six years I have worked closely with neurodivergent children, developing a deep appreciation for the diverse ways people experience and navigate the world. This experience has strengthened my commitment to creating a safe, respectful, and empathetic space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I take a strengths-based, collaborative approach, empowering clients to build on their existing abilities and discover strategies that fit their individual needs. My training and education have emphasized areas including self-regulation, trauma, addictions, neurodiversity, adolescents and families. My approach to counselling draws from multiple modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Person-Centred, and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). My goal is to offer evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to each person’s unique needs and journey.

Hello! I’m Thalita Amado, a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Originally from Brazil, I’ve been living in Canada since 2015 (and while I’ve embraced a lot about life here, I still don’t like the winters).

As a counsellor, my focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. I use an integrative approach to well-being, considering the connection between body, mind, and environment. My work is informed by EMDR, Trauma-Informed Care, Narrative Therapy, CBT, Mindfulness, and Therapeutic Play.

I work with children, teens, adults, and parents, and I offer sessions in both Brazilian Portuguese and English. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or just feeling stuck, I’m here to support you and your kids toward a journey of healing and growth.
