A SAFE AND NURTURING SPACE THAT DELIVERSÂ HOLISTIC AND INTEGRATED APPROACHES TO ENHANCE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
Hi. I’m Whitney Taman. I am a Registered Social Worker. More specifically, I am someone who supports individuals throughout different human experiences.
I support people who want to feel more connected to themselves and others, people who want to experience a better quality of life or people who want to be more in control of their emotions. I enjoy helping people feel less anxious, less depressed, less stressed and begin to feel more like themselves again. Do you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Are you feeling burnt out? Or overwhelmed? I can help you recharge and find balance.
​
I know from over a decade of experience in working with individuals as a mental health clinician, the importance of being seen, heard and understood. From my clinical work, I know that individuals are capable of making meaningful changes in their lives and often benefit from having extra support in making change a reality. I am passionate about teaching the tools and techniques that support individuals in reaching their goals and potential.
​
The mental health field is constantly evolving. As a lifelong learner, I focus on keeping up-to-date with the latest research. I bridge the gap between research and application and love to see the benefits of this in my therapy sessions.
​
My style is informed by a variety of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga.
My approach is strength-based, trauma-informed and research oriented with an emphasis on compassion, authenticity and progress. I provide individual talk therapy, therapeutic yoga programs and social work services to adults residing in Ontario.
Therapy can help you grow and evolve more quickly than you ever have before. If you are ready to explore what to do next, then give me a call at (705) 262-0459 or send me an email at breathingspacetherapeutics@gmail.com.
