Mary Broeders, MSW, RSW

Registered Social Worker

As a Registered Social Worker, Mary offers therapy for a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns, including those related to trauma, stress, difficult life transitions, relationships, adult ADHD, and chronic pain or illness. Her approach is rooted in empathy and adaptability. She encompasses a holistic view of each individual’s needs. She welcomes adults who are new to therapy and those who are familiar with a variety of approaches.

“We all have good reasons for coping the way we do to overcome life’s challenges. Sometimes, it can be helpful to receive additional support along the way. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a secure emotional space for you to confidently do the inner work to achieve your goals. Assisting my clients in processing stuck emotions, narratives, and somatic experiences, developing helpful coping strategies while building upon their existing strengths, is a priviledge for me.” 

Mary received her Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Regina in 2017 and her Master of Social Work from Laurier University in 2021, specializing in Indigenous studies. She has pursued advanced clinical training in EMDR, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She is a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and the Ontario Association of Social Workers

Before entering the field of social work, Mary acquired a BA in political science in 2011 and pursued extensive training in yoga, including a 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training certification in 2012 from Akhanda yoga in Rishikesh, India, and four months of learning at Kripalu Yoga Center in 2013. She is passionate about continuing to develop her skills and sees her journey as a therapist as a life-long learning process.
