Carly Fex

Hi, I’m Carly

I work as a registered psychotherapist in Ontario. I received my Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, and hold a Bachelors of Arts in Sexuality, Marriage and Family from the University of Waterloo. Through these programs, I have had the pleasure of working with diverse populations and found my passion for supporting clients.

Seeking support when things feel challenging is a difficult step. In my role as a psychotherapist, I look to provide a comfortable, safe and judgment free environment to support clients in their therapeutic journey. Through my many years of service, I have had the privilege of journeying with clients through some of their most challenging of circumstances. Supporting clients in reaching their goals, and forging their own way forward is an important part of my practice. I take a client centered approach to my work, where clients take the lead in discussing relevant and important topics to them.

Supporting clients in reaching their goals, and forging their own way forward is an important part of my practice.

I use frameworks that fit for presenting concerns, including, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative therapy, Solution Focused therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Trauma Focused-CBT and others. I have a background in supporting clients with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum, work-related stress, and grief. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

Using a person-centred approach, I feel it is paramount for my clients to be able to share their true selves in session. All ideas, beliefs, and values are accepted and celebrated.
