Hello and Welcome! My name is Maya Oakes and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and founder of Branching Out Psychotherapy & Wellness! 🌿
I created Branching Out Psychotherapy & Wellness with the understanding that it can be challenging to “branch out” whether that be redefining our comfort zone, changing familiar behaviours, learning new things about ourselves, or exploring our thoughts/feelings/relationships. Change can be daunting - my role is to support and empower you as you navigate this process.
I work with adolescents (12+) and adults who are facing challenges related to anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, grief, life transitions, and self-esteem. In emphasizing a psychodynamic and holistic framework, we will collaboratively explore the inner experiences of your mind and body from a stance of curiosity and without judgment. Together, we will work to establish goals, build resiliency and self-compassion, and identify effective coping strategies.
I would be honoured to be part of your therapy journey and I look forward to creating a safe space with you where you are offered the compassion and validation needed for processing, healing and growth!
