Meet Michelle Koobs

Registered Social Worker

Hello, I’m Michelle and I can’t wait to meet you! For ten yeas I have worked as a Registered Social Worker supporting individuals, couples, families and young people.  I offer a safe place for anyone and everyone to share their story, I walk alongside them in setting their goals, and supporting them in working towards greater wellbeing and joy.   

I have experience in couples and individual counselling and use tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and the Gottman Method to tailor our work to meet the needs and goals you bring.  

I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families from diverse places who have faced mental health concerns, grief and loss, trauma, family and relationship conflict, stress, anxiety, and other challenges throughout their lives. 

I completed my Bachelor of Social Work and Sociology at McMaster University and my Master of Social at Wilfred Laurier University. I am currently registered in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW).  I’ve worked in child welfare and family services in both Canada and Australia and worked in inpatient concurrent disorders and counselling support for individuals and their families going through cancer treatment.

I promise you a space of kindness and acceptance and I truly hope to be a compassionate support in your story. 

My favourite things in life are exploring gardens and beaches with my husband and toddler, having a great coffee and book on a rainy day, and dreaming about the next adventure even if it’s just to the park down the street.
