Canadian Certified Counsellor

M.Ed B.HSc, Rehabillitation Diploma

Erin Rusnak

My name is Erin Rusnak and I am registered therapist with the Canadian Psychotherapy Association, offering compassionate, person-centered counselling for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and loss. With over 15 years of experience in the counselling field, I provide thoughtful, personalized support to young adults, adults, and seniors as they navigate life’s challenges.

My professional background includes a Rehabilitation Diploma, specialized training in Addictions Counselling, and a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. My extensive experience across diverse therapeutic settings has shaped my integrative and holistic approach, allowing me to support clients with empathy, depth, and flexibility.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand the profound impact past experiences can have on present emotional and psychological well-being. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel respected, empowered, and genuinely heard. My approach focuses on meeting each client where they are, working collaboratively to foster healing, resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth.

My work is influenced by my background in transpersonal psychology, which explores aspects of the human experience that extend beyond the individual ego or sense of self. For clients who are open to spiritual exploration, I incorporate spiritual growth into the therapeutic process to encourage deeper meaning, connection, and transformation. When appropriate and with client consent, I may also integrate Reiki into sessions to support relaxation, emotional balance, and a stronger mind-body connection. This holistic addition can help deepen the therapeutic experience, particularly during emotionally intense or challenging periods.

I offer flexible counselling services, including in-person, video, and over-the-phone sessions, ensuring clients can access support in ways that feel most comfortable and convenient. I also provide sliding scale options to make therapy more accessible for individuals seeking affordable care.

My goal is to provide an authentic, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic space where clients can heal, gain clarity, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
