Dr. Angela Saunders
My name is Dr. Angela Saunders, and I am a Registered Psychologist within the province of Ontario. I work in the areas of Clinical, Counselling, and Rehabilitation psychology. I have been working in the field of mental health for over 20 years and have had professional roles that range from being a front-line worker in group home/custody facilities to working with families, couples, and individuals in preventative, supportive, crisis and therapeutic settings, to working as a consultant to businesses and agencies. These roles have allowed me to develop an approach to working that draws upon the strengths of cognitive, behavioural, relational, attachment, and trauma informed therapies. Working together may involve understanding how your past is impacting your relationships/parenting today, or it may focus on developing ways of dealing with and working through issues in your daily life.
I am licensed to work with children, adolescents, families, couples, and adults and work across a range of theoretical orientations, drawing upon the modality and framework that best suits a client’s needs. I have worked extensively with trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, addiction, relational, attachment, and a range of other issues.
My focus will be on understanding your unique circumstance and helping you to increase your or your child’s capacity to understand and cope with life events and issues that get in the way of reaching an optimal level of mental health and wellness.
