Meet Amanda Newman, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist

Ready to enter your healing era? Maybe you’re tired of listening to your harsh inner critic, you’ve decided that you want to be kinder to yourself, or you have heard of self-compassion and want to learn more about it.

Whether you are facing a major life transition, struggling with mental health issues like anxiety or depression, or simply seeking personal growth, I aim to help you navigate life’s challenges with a tailored approach to address your unique needs.

My Approach

My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which emphasizes the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Ultimately, you are the one who knows you best, and my role is not to “fix” you, but to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely.

For the “pathological people-pleasers” out there who excel at helping others but struggle to do the same for themselves, I offer Self-Compassion Informed Psychotherapy. I aim to help you develop a kinder and more supportive relationship with yourself, so that you have the capacity to continue to help others, and also be able to the things that are most meaningful to you.

By integrating evidence-based CBT techniques with Self-Compassion Informed Psychotherapy, I offer a unique style of therapy, working collaboratively with each client to understand where they are getting stuck, and develop personalized strategies for managing life’s challenges.

Areas of Expertise

With over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities of humans and their emotions, and a passion for supporting my clients on their journey towards healing and self-discovery.

I have extensive experience working with clients dealing with anxiety (i.e. generalized anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, etc.), depression, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and trauma.

I am passionate about working with fellow healthcare workers, over-achievers, perfectionists, and others who are hard on themselves or may be struggling with burnout. I also work with folks trying to repair their relationship with their bodies and disengage from diet culture through a body liberation framework & body acceptance/body neutrality approach.

Education and Credentials

I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Occupational Therapy from University of Toronto, and I am a registered occupational therapist in Ontario, accredited by College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario (www.COTO.org). I am also certified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy by Canadian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies (CACBT-ACTCC) and hold a certificate in Self-Compassion Informed Psychotherapy from the Centre for Mindful Self-Compassion (CMSC).

My ongoing commitment to professional development ensures that I stay current with the latest research and therapeutic techniques, providing my clients with the highest standard of care.

I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey!
