Meet Emily H.

MSW RSW

​

Hi! My name is Emily Haak and I am a Registered Social Worker with experience working with children, youth, and families in crisis. I completed my undergraduate studies at Queen’s University and hold a Master of Social Work from King’s University College.

 

I am passionate about working with children of all ages and their families to develop effective emotional regulation and communication skills. Whether your child is struggling with mental health challenges, behavioural issues, family changes, or simply needs a space to explore their emotions, I am here to provide them with a supportive environment and effective interventions. My goal is to create a space where children feel heard, valued, and understood.

 

I work from a person-centred, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach while incorporating elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I also incorporate play therapy, art therapy, and other child-friendly techniques into my practice.

 

In my free time I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, playing with my dogs, and having fun with my friends and family.

 

I look forward to working together in the future!
