Wanda Green

(she/her)

Registered Social Worker, Owner

BSW, MSW, RSW

With over three decades of experience, I have helped individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and repair strained relationships. As a Registered Social Worker, my goal is to provide a non-judgmental space where people feel understood and hopeful about their future.

I am passionate about helping couples rekindle relationships that have grown cold, heal from affairs, or navigate a new stage of life. I understand mental health challenges, and I provide individualized treatment that is best for your circumstances. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR therapy and use this powerful, evidence-based treatment to help clients heal from past trauma and move toward a life of peace.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with family and completing a good DIY project. Crafting and exercising my creative brain helps me relax and find balance. I believe holistic health encompasses physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, and I aim to honour each aspect in my own life.

BOOK WITH RENEE

If you are looking for a supportive virtual space to heal and grow, I would be happy to work with you. For the past 25 years, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, with specialized experience serving the 2SLGBTQ+ community and those facing disability barriers.

My approach to counselling is deeply rooted in recognizing and utilizing your existing strengths and resiliency. To facilitate this, I draw on evidence-based practices—such as Emotion Focused Therapy—to help us explore the vital connection between what is happening in both the mind and the body.

When I’m not in practice, I find balance by caring for my rescue animals, spending time in nature, and getting lost in a good book. I’m a firm believer in the healing power of a daily laugh and strive to bring that sense of groundedness into my life and work.

Please note that due to potential conflicts of interest, I am unable to work directly with:

Still serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces
Veterans
RCMP members
Families of the groups listed above

If you belong to any of these groups, please know that another skilled member of our NL Counselling team will be more than happy to work with you. We are committed to ensuring you receive the best possible care within our practice.

BOOK WITH CYNTHIA

Are you feeling angry, overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? Maybe you’re snapping, shutting down, or overthinking while stress never lets up. If your nervous system has been in survival mode, your reactions make sense and therapy can help.

Feeling stuck in your career? I support professionals and leaders in managing stress, navigating demanding work environments, and creating a healthier work–life balance. Together, we slow things down, build insight, and develop practical tools so you can communicate more effectively, reconnect, and move toward a life aligned with your values.

You might be coming to therapy because your anger feels bigger than the situation, you feel burnt out or constantly “on edge,” or you’re caught in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, conflict, or shutdown. You may also feel overwhelmed by workplace stress, family dynamics, or relationships.

I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where your experiences are heard, your strengths are recognized, and your growth is supported. You don’t have to do this alone. Reach out, schedule a consultation or book a session.

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Counselling Psychology and over 25 years in education, with additional experience at the John Howard Society. I support clients experiencing anger, grief and loss, suicidal ideation, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, domestic violence, life transitions, and family dynamics such as separation, divorce, and blended families. I also work with families, supporting parents raising children who have diagnosed developmental and behavioural needs (Autism, ADHD, ODD).

My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I integrate CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness to help you regulate your nervous system, reconnect with yourself and others, and move toward a more balanced, intentional, and meaningful life.

Outside of my practice, I value connection, community, creativity, spirituality, and time in nature; elements I often encourage clients to incorporate into their own healing and self-care.
