Hello, I’m Erin Rusnak.
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Counselling, Bachelor of Health Science, and diploma in Rehabilitation. With over 15 years of experience in the human services field, I have had the opportunity to work with people of different ages, abilities, backgrounds, and life experiences.
The populations I work with include adults, seniors, and children ages 5–12. and types of presenting concerns I have experience working with include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergence (ADHD/ASD), endometriosis, and life transitions.
I believe counselling should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are. My priority is creating a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. My approach to counselling is flexible and collaborative. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches because I don't believe there is one type of therapy that works for everyone. You are the expert on your own life, and together we can determine what approaches and strategies feel most helpful for you.
When working with children, I recognize that they don't always have the words to explain what they are feeling. I use play-based and developmentally appropriate approaches to help children express themselves, understand their emotions, and develop healthy coping skills.
Whether you are navigating a difficult season, experiencing anxiety or depression, grieving a loss, adjusting to change, or simply looking for a safe place to talk, my goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you find the path that feels right for you. You don't need to know exactly where to begin. We can start there together.
Outside of the counselling room, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and family. I also love watching soccer, listening to music, and getting lost in a good book. I believe these simple moments of connection, enjoyment, and relaxation are an important part of creating balance in our lives.
I am currently scheduling appointments during weekdays and evenings, with weekend appointments available by special request. I can be reached directly at [email protected]. or book in with me at https://rusnakerin.janeapp.com/
