Hi, I am Stacey Fernandes (she/her), a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and the Ontario Association of Social Workers.

I am passionate about teaching mindfulness strategies and encouraging self-reflection to tap into your innate authenticity, intuition and cherished values to create transformational changes.

I specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I completed my level 1 Internal Family Systems (IFS) training through the Institute. IFS is transformative tool that explores multiple parts within each person. Everyone has a system of protector parts and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. IFS is an evidence-based practice and rated effective for improving and healing anxiety, depression, physical health conditions, trauma and your self-concept.

EMDR is a powerful psychotherapeutic approach that has been extremely helpful to process and improve anxiety, depression and trauma. EMDR helps our brain shift limiting beliefs, make new positive cognitions, explore new skills and gain powerful insights.

I completed Perinatal Mood Disorders training through Postpartum Support International. 1 in 5 Moms and 1 in 10 Dads suffer from postpartum depression. I offer a soft supportive landing to help boost your wellness and improve anxiety, depression, OCD and trauma during this new life transition.

I enjoy travelling and exploring different diverse cultures. The rainforest in Costa Rica is one of my favourite places in the world. I am a lifelong learner, mother and dog lover. I enjoy spending time with my son and dogs. You may run into us outside therapy hiking, playing at the park or at a yoga class.

I am looking forward to connecting with you! :)
