Join me for a FREE community information session where we'll explore:

A little about me:

My name is Brittany McCrea, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist and founder of Wellness Waves Psychotherapy. I have been working in the mental health field in North Bay since 2013 and have completed extensive training in the treatment of the anxiety disorders listed above.

I am passionate about increasing awareness and understanding of mental mental health, reducing stigma, and improving access to accurate information and effective treatment. My hope is that this event helps community members feel more informed, empowered, and supported when navigating anxiety.

Whether you are struggling yourself, supporting a loved one, parenting a child with anxiety, working in a helping profession, or simply wanting to learn more, all are welcome.

*** This is an educational event only and is not therapy or crisis support ***

Doors to the building are locked - you will be let in by a volunteer close to the start of the session

I look forward to connecting with members of our community and helping increase understanding of anxiety, OCD, and related disorders.

Well, I did a thing! My very first podcast interview!

I am so thankful to have done it with Karrie O'Connor! She created such a comfortable space for me to share the highs and lows of building Wellness Wave Psychotherapy. My hope is that others can connect with my story and feel encouraged to take those hard, meaningful steps towards the things they value most in life.

Thanks for listening!

A little bit about Karrie: she is an artist and speaker, the host of The Universal He-ART podcast, and the editor behind Northern Threads Magazine. She loves connecting people through stories, art, and honest conversation. And her story continues to help inspire me each day!

If anyone is interested, an article about Wellness Waves Psychotherapy was posted in Bay Today - I can’t share the link, but here is a picture of the title.

It was wonderful speaking to Matt about my journey and how I feel I can help others. It’s all truly a dream come true.

(To find the article, you can search “Bay Today Brittany McCrea” and it should be located at the top).

As always, if anyone has any questions, please don’t be shy ☺️.

Feel free to take a peak at an interview I did 🥰

'It’s about slowly moving toward the things that make us uncomfortable to retrain our brain that we’re actually safe'
