Bloom is so excited to announce our newest team member, Taya VanDerMeersch 🌸💫

You can read more about Taya on our website and find her calendar through our booking link, but here is a little message from Taya herself:

Hi everyone, I’m Taya and I’m a Registered Social Worker and an Associate Therapist at Bloom Wellness. I’m deeply honoured to be part of this incredible team and have the opportunity to continue working with and supporting young people on their individual path. I strive to empower clients by building emotional regulation skills and fostering a safe space to explore emotions and feelings that can sometimes be uncomfortable to experience.

I incorporate different therapeutic approaches, tailoring my approach to the needs of each client, often utilizing DBT, ACT, and identity-affirming CBT. My approach to therapy is warm, person-centred, and inclusive. If we work together, I would be honoured to hold space for emotions that may be painful, conflicted, or hard to express. I’m continually inspired by the young people I work with, and I’m honoured to support them as they make sense of who they’re becoming. 

Taya is offering sessions on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and will be working with kids ages 6+, teens and young adults.

To schedule an initial session or to inquire more about whether Taya might be the right fit for you or your child, email info@bloomwellnessck.com or connect with Taya directly at taya@bloomwellnessck.com.
