Megan Bowes
Registered Psychotherapist (Q)

Are you struggling with stress, relationship issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or trauma? Are you looking for a compassionate professional to support you through a difficult time?

Hi! My name is Megan, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), with the College of
Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

I have worked in the field of human services for more than 15 years, working with adults from all walks of life, facing a wide variety of challenges such as poverty and insecure housing, relationship difficulties, substance and behavioural addictions, and involvement with the justice system. My work as a crisis volunteer for a metropolitan sexual assault centre provided me with
extensive experience with interpersonal violence and crisis situations, and sparked my passion for anti-oppression work and women’s issues.

I work from a strengths-based, person-centered perspective, drawing from evidence-based
modalities including, but not limited to, mindfulness-based, internal family systems, and somatic
experiencing, as well as cognitive behavioural therapy. I am described as a compassionate, warm, and genuine person. I bring these qualities into the therapy room, where I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment, in which my clients feel supported as they embark on their healing journeys.
