DBT Skills. Emotion regulation Module.
Our emotional world is far more complex than we often realise.

What we feel in any given moment is rarely just one emotion — it’s usually a blend shaped by context, memories, and internal triggers.

As humans, we experience a few core emotions.

When these combine, they create more nuanced, layered emotional states — sometimes softer, sometimes more intense.

Understanding these combinations helps us respond with awareness instead of judgment.

Because naming what we feel is often the first step toward regulating it.

🌿 Hi there, I’m Emily Davison (she/her) — Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and the founder of Whole Sum Wellness. I’m so glad you found your way here. 💛

I offer psychotherapy and counselling for individuals 7 years and older who may be navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, attachment or relationship concerns, identity questions, or those big (and sometimes messy and unpredictable) life transitions.

I’m particularly passionate about supporting young adults, highly sensitive folks, and members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. You deserve a space where all parts of you are welcome. 🌈

With me, you can expect warmth, curiosity, empathy, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor (because even though healing can be serious, we don’t have to be serious all the time 😉). I take my time building genuine rapport so you can feel safe, comfortable, and brave enough to share what’s been on your mind and heart — without fear of judgment.

Most importantly, I approach therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we’ll weave your strengths, values, and lived wisdom into the path forward. 🌱✨

If you’re ready to begin (or continue) your healing journey, I’m here — and I’d love to walk alongside you.

Have you ever had a secret that you couldn’t hold in any longer? 🤫Well, this is mine!

I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was 9 years old and over the past year I’ve developed my own private practice practice, ✨Whole Sum Wellness✨. Over the past 6 months, I’ve been working closely with Avi Naor and Anne Elizabeth Molnar-Edwards on my branding and I’m finally ready to reveal it to you!

Whole Sum Wellness is rooted in empathy, compassion, connection, and inclusivity. Humanity is at the core of my work. With the belief that mental health is (w)holistic health, I recognize physical, psychological, social, structural, and spiritual factors impact wellbeing. My mission is to make clients feel safe and brave enough to explore and process their thoughts and feelings in a way that honors their experience. With this, I hope to make mental health services increasingly client-centered and support individuals' holistic growth, healing, and wellbeing.

More details to come. Until then, check out my website and Psychology Today profile.

Exciting news! I am now expanding my private practice and accepting new clients!

Are you someone who is experiencing anxiety? Grief? Trauma? Or challenges in relationships? Does one or multiple of these issues affect your daily life, overall functioning, or ability to maintain meaningful relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed, lost, or alone?

I believe it is worth discussing these thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a compassionate, curious, and supportive environment. I offer inclusive and integrative psychotherapy and counselling in the west-end of Ottawa. Sessions are available in-person, virtually, and over the phone on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

Giving people the space to feel heard and validated is my passion. I hope to support you on your journey of moving through challenges and transitions in life so you feel less stuck. Please contact me via email for inquiries, to book a FREE 15-minute phone consultation, or to schedule an intake session. Email: emily@wholesumwellness.ca

Take care!
