About Me

 

I’m Lindsay, owner of Lindsay Wetmore Counselling and Co-Owner of CW Therapy Group. Welcome!

I hold a Masters degree in Social Work and have had the opportunity to support clients in the Halton Region where I have offices in both Georgetown and Oakville. My primary area of focus, and area of specialization, is trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Specifically, supporting those who have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or who have experienced and are healing from traumatic life events.

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

  • Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

Although I hold a special interest in supporting those recovering from trauma, I also hold experience supporting those managing anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, grief, complex grief, and other significant life stressors.  

Qualifications and Professional Associations:

  • Masters of Social Work (MSW)

  • Registered Social Worker (RSW) with Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW)

  • Registered with Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW)

Why I became a Therapist

I became a therapist because I believe change is possible. Actually, I believe you already embody the strength you need to change whatever is no longer serving you, together we can access that strength and start today. My role as a therapist is to meet you wherever you are at. To support you non-judgementally and respond to you empathically, to lean into discomfort with you, as together we move towards healing and growth.  

I work hard to create an emotionally safe space where we can begin to uncovering thoughts, behaviours and emotions that may have you feeling “stuck”. I hope to reflect back patterns and offer differing perspectives that may support you in decisions that will move you towards growth, change and more meaningful relationships.  

While everyone faces challenges, how we navigate through these can be important in strengthening our relationship with ourselves and with others.

I have welcomed playful and gentle Benny to my therapy practice! Benny is a hypoallergenic miniature cockapoo who is growing, learning and training to be a certified therapy animal.  

A therapy animal is an emotional support animal that plays the role of supporting clients in the reduction and regulation of their emotions during  a session. There is vast research in support of how a compassionate animal can improve both physical and mental health, as well as, reduce stress, depression and anxiety. Please help welcome Benny settle into his new role becoming a friendly, patient, confident part of the team. 

If you have any concerns or questions about Benny, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
