Isis Essery
Provisional Psychologist | CC-PMH
Welcome. I'm Isis (she/her), a Provisional Psychologist and Certified Perinatal Counsellor with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I offer counselling for adults navigating a range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, overwhelm, perfectionism, climate anxiety, intrusive thoughts, anger, and life transitions. I also have a deep passion for supporting individuals through the complex experiences of being and becoming a parent, including fertility challenges, pregnancy/child loss, birth trauma, postpartum struggles, and parenting challenges.
With a background in both neuroscience and art, I bring a unique lens to therapy, integrating scientific knowledge, mind-body awareness, and creative expression to support my clients’ individual needs. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and curiosity. I work from a non-pathologizing lens, honouring your strengths and challenges while respecting your beliefs, worldview, and identity.
My therapeutic work draws from a variety of approaches, including Psychodynamic Therapy (talk therapy), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Art Therapy.
I’m continually inspired by those who show up for themselves and work towards breaking/challenging intergenerational patterns. I truly believe that individual healing and self-understanding are powerful seeds for broader systemic and community change.
So thank you for being here.
If you think I might be the right person to support you, please email me at isis@bloomyk.ca to book a free 15-minute meet and greet phone appointment. I look forward to hearing from you.
