Cherry Tree Counselling will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

We will have limited availability on the following dates:
Christmas Eve from 8am to 9pm
Boxing Day from 8am to 7pm

Please note that individual therapist hours and availability may vary during the holiday season. We encourage you to check directly with your therapist to confirm your session times or availability.

We know this time of year can bring a mix of emotions, and we appreciate your understanding as our team takes time to rest and recharge. We look forward to continuing to support you through the season and into the new year.

Holiday reflections ✨

Recently, our Cherry Tree team gathered in Hamilton to share a meal, some laughter, and a moment to pause together.

To celebrate the season, yes.
But also to celebrate each other.

The care, intention, and heart that go into this work every day don’t always get to be seen. Nights like this remind us that behind the sessions, notes, and full calendars are real humans who show up with so much compassion.

We’re deeply grateful for this community: our clinicians, our admin team, and the clients who trust us with their stories.

Wishing you a gentle Christmas Eve, however you’re spending it.

May there be warmth, rest, and at least one moment that feels grounding. 🤍

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

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.

You’re allowed to crave more. More peace, more connection, more meaning. Wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful. It means you’re listening to the quiet truth inside you that says, “There’s something else for me.”

Sometimes the people around you won’t get it. They might call it selfish or confusing. But your growth doesn’t need to make sense to everyone. You’re allowed to outgrow what used to feel right.

Change isn’t betrayal. It’s belonging to yourself again.

If you’re feeling the tug toward something new, follow it. You don’t need permission to evolve. Just a little courage to begin.

Sometimes the change we’re ready for isn’t about pushing harder
or analyzing the same patterns again.

It’s about gently meeting what lives beneath the surface
and creating space for something new to take root.

Heather Rivlin is now offering Hypnotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) at Cherry Tree Counselling.

RTT is a solution-focused, integrative approach that weaves together hypnotherapy with elements of psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and neuro-linguistic programming. For many people, this work can support meaningful shifts in 1–3 sessions, especially around concerns that may have taken months of talk therapy to explore.

This offering can be supportive for anxiety, self-esteem, limiting beliefs, fears and phobias, smoking cessation, stress, and patterns that feel hard to change despite insight and effort. Many people who are drawn to RTT have already done meaningful inner work and are curious about a different way of creating movement—one that feels focused, compassionate, and effective.

If you’re new to hypnotherapy, it’s natural to have questions. Sessions do not involve losing control, being forced to reveal anything, or having someone access your thoughts. You remain aware, present, and in choice throughout, with the work guided by collaboration, consent, and your nervous system’s pace.

There is no pressure to relive experiences or push beyond what feels right. The intention is to support clarity, self-understanding, and shifts that feel both gentle and lasting.

This offering is for anyone who feels ready to explore change in a way that honours the whole person—mind, body, and inner experience.

The holidays are often wrapped in tradition.
And tradition can be comforting… and heavy.

As routines pick back up and calendars fill quickly, it’s worth pausing before you RSVP and asking yourself:
Do I actually want to go? Or am I saying yes because it’s expected?

Here’s a gentle reminder: holiday traditions are negotiable. They’re meant to evolve alongside our energy, circumstances, needs, and seasons of life.

Maybe this is the year you let go of a few things that don’t actually fill you up.
Big parties, for example, can be especially draining, particularly for introverts or anyone already feeling stretched thin. Choosing a quieter, more intimate time is not a failure. It’s care.

And when there are events you need or choose to attend, having a plan can help. Leaving early. Taking breaks. Saying no next time. These are all valid options.

You get to decide how you participate in the holidays.
Without guilt. Without shame. Without over-explaining.

If you’re longing for a simpler, more peaceful season, boundaries can be a powerful form of self-care, especially when stress and anxiety are already high.

You’re allowed to celebrate on your own terms.

The holidays can be meaningful… and a lot.
Busy calendars, big emotions, old patterns, new expectations.

This season, we’re inviting you to soften the pressure and come back to what actually supports you. A holiday stress-buster toolkit isn’t about doing more: it’s about creating small, steady moments of calm that help you feel more like yourself.

Because your mental health doesn’t need to earn a place on the list.
It already belongs there.

If you’re curious about how to build your own toolkit—one that fits your real life—we’ve shared some gentle ideas on the blog.

12/18/2025

Imagine leaving supervision feeling truly seen, heard, and connected to the women sitting beside you.
A space where your shoulders drop a little.
Where you don’t have to prove anything.
Where your therapist-self and your human-self both get to breathe.

In this group, we grow together, refining our clinical voice, honouring vulnerability, celebrating our womanhood, and gently naming the systems that tell us to stay small. We’ll share the wins, unpack the hard cases, and explore what it means to care for ourselves while caring for others.

It’s collective nourishment.
It’s quiet empowerment.
It’s community.

If you’re a woman-identifying therapist craving a space that feels grounding, spacious, and real, you’re welcome here.

As the holidays inch closer, the season’s sparkle can get tangled with pressure, loneliness, or tricky family dynamics...especially when the days are short, and your emotional bandwidth feels thin.

Kate is offering virtual, short-term, solution-focused therapy (3–6 sessions) designed specifically for this winter stretch, giving you space to breathe, unpack what’s heavy, and find a bit more steadiness.

These sessions gently target the things that tend to flare this time of year: holding boundaries, navigating expectations, softening loneliness, or finding your center when everything feels “on.” Kate has limited availability the weeks of December 22 and 29, so if this kind of grounded, time-limited support feels right, now’s a good moment to reach out.
