About Michelle Green

MA, RP, CCC, CC-PMH

Welcome! I am Michelle Green, Registered Psychotherapist, Certified Canadian Counsellor, and Certified Canadian- Perinatal Mental Health Clinician. I believe that sometimes the stories we tell (and are being told) about ourselves keep us stuck in suffering.

 

As a psychotherapist, I view my role in therapy as someone who can walk with clients as they discover new ways to re-write their own stories. I primarily work with clients on issues such as identity transitions in becoming a parent, pregnancy, and new parent/caregiver support. I also have a special interest in supporting adult clients in other areas such as attachment and relationship pattern exploration, self-compassion/acceptance building, and adoptive/foster parent support.​

What does it mean to be a Feminist Therapist?

A feminist therapist is someone who should work to identify the systemic and internalized power differences and dynamics in larger society (ex: racism, white supremacy, ableism, the patriarchy, gender discrimination, sexual discrimination) and can help you make sense of how these larger influences impact your well-being. I am consistently trying to build my awareness and critical thought of larger societal narratives at play. I am committed to continuous learning in anti-oppressive practice and in continuing to de-colonize the practice of Psychotherapy. The aim of feminist therapy is not only to make a positive change in the individual but also on society as a whole. 

​

I strive to name and work against oppression when it shows up in the therapeutic space, and also challenge clients to reflect on and bring awareness to internalized oppressive systems within themselves.
