MEET GILLIAN FLYNN
She/Her

Gillian Flynn believes that at the heart of being human is the desire for connection with others and our world. But sometimes it can feel like we are stuck and disconnected. As a therapist, she sets out to build strong connections with her clients, making them feel seen, heard and cared for. Working alongside her clients Gillan supports them in setting goals and making a treatment plan, taking into account each individual’s unique experiences, culture and beliefs. 

 

She works with individuals, couples, and families on many topics including relationship and intimacy issues, stress, anxiety, depression, self-worth, grief and loss, life transitions and medical diagnoses. Using a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens, she works using an eclectic approach, drawing from a broad range of interventions including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness,  Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Gottman Method Couple Therapy.

 

Gillian's journey as a therapist started early during her post-secondary education in behavioural psychology where she developed a passion for understanding human behaviour; particularly what motivates us and what influences change. Since then, she has studied mental health across the lifespan and spent over 15 years of working in community, acute and long term care settings, helping patients and families cope with difficult diagnoses, ethical decisions, and the grief associated with the death of a loved one.
