Supervision, slowed down.

Not another box to check.
Not something to rush through between sessions.
But a place to land.

Our new Half-Day Supervision Intensive is a four-hour, seasonal experience for therapists who are craving more spaciousness. Time to pause, turn inward, and reflect in a way that feels deeply supported.

Co-facilitated by our frolleague Heather Hendrie from True Nature Wilderness Therapy and Clinical Director Cree Lambeck of Cherry Tree Counselling, this intensive blends CRPO-eligible clinical supervision with intentional mentorship, grounded community, and space for real integration.

Think of it as a seasonal retreat for your supervision practice.
A companion to your individual, dyad, or group supervision.
A slower rhythm that invites you back into your own wisdom.

You can expect grounding.
You can expect renewal.

You’ll leave feeling resourced, witnessed, and reconnected to the heart of your work.

This small, closed group is especially supportive for therapists working in perinatal and women-focused care, trauma and grief, identity-centred practice, and eco- or nature-based frameworks.

If you’re ready to reflect, reset, and return to your work with intention, you’re warmly invited.

What if the fear you're carrying isn’t a personal failing.....but a sign that you’re deeply connected?

Cherry Tree therapist Amy Commanda writes for Maclean’s Magazine about the ache that comes with witnessing a changing planet.....and how therapy, especially land-based therapy, can offer steadiness in the storm.

In "The Eco Therapist Will See You Now", Amy speaks to the grief and overwhelm many of us hold quietly and offers ways to reconnect with land, body, and community when the world feels too much.

This piece is for anyone who feels stuck between caring deeply and not knowing what to do next.
For those whose nervous systems are frayed.
For those who need space to grieve without giving up.

Thank you for amplifying this conversation.

Two years of Lauren. 🌸

What a gift it has been to have her as part of Cherry Tree Counselling. Lauren brings a calm, grounded presence into every space she enters. The kind that helps people feel safe, seen, and able to take a breath. Over the past two years, she has supported clients with deep care, thoughtfulness, and a steady commitment to doing this work well and with heart.

She shows up with integrity and curiosity, and with a genuine respect for the people she works alongside and the clients she supports. Her warmth and compassion are felt not just in the therapy room, but across our whole team and community.

Lauren, we are so grateful for you and the care you bring to Cherry Tree Counselling every day. Thank you for the work you do, the way you listen, and the presence you offer so generously.

Please join us in celebrating Lauren and her two-year anniversary with Cherry Tree. 💗

Honestly? So many of us are walking into 2026 carrying a mix of hope, exhaustion, and that quiet longing for more community in this work.

If that’s you too, come sit with us. ✨

We’re hosting a free, cozy Fireside Chat for Therapists: a relaxed online gathering where you can show up as the part of you that cares deeply, the part that’s worn thin, or the part that’s still figuring it out. All of you is welcome.

Think: favourite drink in hand, soft lighting, colleagues who get it, and a gentle conversation about what we’re collectively craving in the year ahead.

No pressure. No prep. Just connection, stories, a few shared laughs, and that grounded feeling of remembering you’re not doing this alone.

This offering is lovingly hosted by Heather Hendrie (True Nature Wilderness Therapy) and Cree Lambeck (Cherry Tree for Clinicians) in response to the call so many of us have voiced: more solidarity, more abundance, more sharing.

It’s completely free to join.
Save your spot and come breathe with us.

Some days we carry more than we realize.
Worries linger in the background.
Old conversations replay.
Tension settles into the body quietly.

If you have a minute today, consider pausing.
Notice what feels heavy right now.
You do not have to solve it.
You do not have to release everything.

See if there is one small thing you can set down.
Even a little space can bring relief.

New Supervision Group | Starting February 5

Boundaries.
Burnout.
And what it actually means to have a sustainable caseload.

Our new focused supervision group, Boundaries, Burnout, and Sustainable Caseloads, is facilitated by Clinical Supervisor and Cherry Tree Counselling Director, Cree Lambeck.

This is for therapists who feel stretched thin.
Or quietly overwhelmed.
Or who know something has to change, but aren’t sure where to start.

Together, we’ll slow things down and look at:
– realistic boundaries (not the aspirational kind)
– ethical decision-making when capacity is tight
– emotional overload and compassion fatigue
– the pressures that make this work feel heavier than it needs to

This space offers honest reflection, gentle accountability, and practical strategies you can bring back into your week, so your caseload feels sustainable, not consuming.

If you’re craving more clarity, more steadiness, and a little more breath in your practice, you’re welcome here.

✨ Monthly group supervision
✨ Thursday afternoons 1pm-2:30pm EST
✨ First session begins February 5

Sexuality can bring up a lot.
Questions. Curiosity. Uncertainty. Change.

You might be navigating intimacy in a relationship.
Reconnecting with your body.
Or noticing that what once felt true no longer does.

At Cherry Tree Counselling, we offer supportive therapy for women and femme-identified folks who want space to explore sexuality with care, respect, and zero pressure. This is a place to talk about desire, pleasure, boundaries, communication, identity, and self-acceptance at your own pace.

Our therapists meet you with warmth and curiosity, not assumptions. We believe sexuality is personal, evolving, and worthy of thoughtful attention.

If you’re looking for a space that feels safe, affirming, and grounded, you’re welcome here.

Because your relationship with your body and sexuality deserves care, not fixing.

01/07/2026

The holidays can leave us feeling a little… buried.
In expectations. In expenses. In exhaustion.

If you’re in that post-holiday moment of trying to dig out and find your footing again, you’re not alone. This season after the season is often where the real work begins.

Reclaiming calm does not mean fixing everything at once. It can look like reflecting on what worked and what did not, setting more realistic intentions for next time, reconnecting with people who help you feel steady, tending to your body and nervous system, and taking small, thoughtful steps with your finances.

Mental and financial well-being are deeply connected. When one feels strained, the other often does too. Gentleness, clarity, and support matter here.

In this post, we share five practical ways to begin digging out and finding your rhythm again after the holidays. No pressure. No perfection. Just small steps toward steadiness.

You do not have to do it all today.

Ever felt like words just aren't enough?

Sometimes, our emotions need a different language, and that's where art comes in.

Our Art Therapy service offers a gentle way to ground yourself, find calm, and give shape to what is happening inside. It is not about creating masterpieces. It is about using creativity as a pathway to self-discovery and healing.

Imagine finding quiet in the stroke of a brush or clarity in the lines of a sketch. Through art, you may begin to:

🖌️ Slow racing thoughts
🖌️ Process complex emotions
🖌️ Find a moment of calm in a busy world
🖌️ Express feelings that are hard to put into words

No artistic skills are needed. All you need is yourself and an open mind.

Our skilled Art Therapist, Rebecca Harper, creates a safe and welcoming space where clients can express themselves freely through art. Her client-centred approach supports people in exploring emotions, thoughts, and experiences at their own pace.

Rebecca believes Art Therapy is not about creating perfect works, but about the creative process itself as a tool for healing, growth, and deeper self-understanding.

Rebecca is accepting new clients with no wait times and is available Tuesdays until 5pm, Wednesdays until 8pm, and Thursday mornings.

She has limited space so be sure to book now to avoid disappointment.

If you are interested in working with Rebecca or would like more information about our Art Therapy, please book at cherrytree.janeapp.com or contact us via: admin@cherrytreecounselling.ca

You get to choose tenderness where there was tension. You get to pause before reacting and say, “It can stop with me.” That’s the work of generational healing...breaking old cycles with love, not blame.

Parenting differently doesn’t mean you’re rejecting your parents. It means you’re honouring what your inner child needed. You’re giving your kids the presence, patience, or softness you might have longed for.

And some days, it’s hard. Because you’re healing while you’re parenting. You’re reparenting yourself while raising them. That’s brave work. Messy, sacred work.

If it feels heavy, know that you’re not alone in it. Healing families starts with healing hearts.
