My Services
Finding the right support is an important and deeply personal step. At Care Connect Psychotherapy & Counselling Services, I offer compassionate, client-centered care that honours your lived experience, your pace, and your hopes for the future.
Whether you're seeking a safe space to unpack complex emotions, build coping strategies, reconnect with your sense of self, or simply be heard without judgment, I’m here to walk alongside you. Each service is grounded in unconditional compassion, collaborative care, and a belief in your capacity to heal. You are welcome exactly as you are.
I also offer limited sliding scale spots upon request, and based on your unique needs. Feel free to email me at erika@care-connect.ca.

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers a deeper, personalized journey of self-exploration and healing.
Through a compassionate and collaborative process, we’ll work together to explore the roots of your experiences — whether it’s complex trauma, patterns from childhood, life transitions, or struggles with self-worth and emotional regulation.
Therapy is not about “fixing” you; it’s about reconnecting with your inner wisdom, building emotional resilience, and finding a way forward that feels authentic and empowering.
Sessions are guided by your pace, your needs, and your goals. As a practitioner with lived experience, I hold space with deep understanding, unconditional compassion, and respect for the complexity of each person’s story.
Walk & Talk Ecotherapy
Healing doesn’t have to happen within four walls. Walk & Talk Ecotherapy invites you into nature for a unique therapeutic experience that blends movement, mindfulness, and conversation.
Walking alongside one another in natural spaces can offer a sense of grounding, freedom, and ease — supporting emotional regulation, reducing stress, and reconnecting you with both your inner self and the living world around you.
These sessions are gentle, client-led, and flexible: we can walk at a slow or brisk pace, find a quiet spot to sit and reflect, or simply allow nature to guide the flow of the session.
This service is ideal for individuals who feel energized by movement, find traditional office settings overwhelming, or want to incorporate nature as a healing partner in their journey.
Individual Counselling
Sometimes we don’t need to dive into the past to find relief — we need support with what's happening right now.
Individual counselling focuses on addressing specific concerns, building coping strategies, and enhancing day-to-day resilience. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationship difficulties, burnout, grief, life transitions, or personal growth goals, counselling provides a structured yet flexible space for support and skill-building.
Together, we’ll set practical goals (or work toward more clarity if you're not sure where to start) and create an environment where you can feel empowered to move forward with greater confidence, hope, and self-compassion.

More about Walk & Talk Ecotherapy
There's growing recognition that our physical surroundings play an important role in supporting mental health - especially when it comes to spending time in nature. Exposure to natural environments has been shown to reduce stress, ease symptoms of anxiety and depression, and promote a sense of calm and clarity. In green spaces, we tend to engage our senses more fully - listening to birdsong, feeling the breeze, or noticing the rustle of leaves. These simple, soothing experiences can offer a welcome break from the noise of daily life, including work pressures, traffic, and other everyday stressors.
I offer local Walk & Talk sessions across the Bay of Quinte area. Here's a list of parks, trails, and green spaces you can choose from. Each of these trails is beginner-friendly.
Ensure that your insurance provider covers Walk & Talk therapy beforehand. There's also a separate consent form that must be completed before beginning these sessions together. Upon booking your first Walk & Talk session, please email me at erika@care-connect.ca to let me know which trail you are interested in meeting at. If there's a trail you think would be a good fit, feel free to email me your ideas!
Please note: Location specifics and details, along with a map, will be included in your booking confirmation. Please bring a water bottle, walking shoes, and, if desired, sunscreen and a hat. If weather conditions are unfavourable, we will move to an in-person, phone, or video session.
