Accepting new clients virtual or in-person (Woodstock) . I am a Registered Social Worker providing individual counselling services to adults and teens looking for support to navigate life stressors. With training in Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, I am here to listen, support and provide you with tools to understand difficult emotions, reduce vulnerability to stress and navigate periods of suffering. I believe that everyone has the potential to make positive change in their lives no matter their past. I have experience supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, shame/guilt, anger, substance use, self-doubt, and relationship issues. In addition, I have a specific interest in supporting individuals and family members navigating stressors related to involvement or experiences within the criminal justice system, legal system or mental health system.
I offer a non-judgemental space for you to come as you are, feel heard and make strides towards growing as a person. Book your free phone consultation now for an opportunity to ask questions and see if I am the right fit for you.
About Duane Wiafe
Akwaaba – Welcome. I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome life’s challenges and step into their fullest potential. If you are navigating depression, anxiety, or stress, I’m here to support you in finding lasting relief and reclaiming your well-being. With over 16 years of experience, including my work with the Correctional Service of Canada, I bring a deep understanding of complex trauma and personal resilience. I also specialize in integrating Africentric Theory and the power of Adinkra symbols into clinical practice, drawing on the rich traditions of African knowledge to foster strength and healing.
My approach is grounded in the belief that you already hold the answers within yourself. Together, we will uncover them. I combine Africentric Theory with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), creating a personalized path toward growth and transformation.
As a certified fitness instructor specialist through canfitpro, I also integrate physical fitness into my therapeutic work, understanding that wellness is both mental and physical. I believe in the power of movement to build resilience and enhance emotional well-being, helping you face life’s challenges with renewed strength.
Whether you’re ready to begin your healing journey or seeking guidance on the best path forward, I’m here to walk with you. Call or text today, and let’s start your journey together.
