Still buzzing from ' Mental Health Leadership Forum Feb 5 and 6. Uplifted by the new perspectives and renewed energy for the work ahead. So inspired by everyone I met and all I learned, already looking forward to next year.

Therapy should be accessible, not another barrier.

One of the biggest reasons people delay starting therapy is cost. I get that, I've been there. In fact, I had to solely rely on goverment funded programs in my 20s because I didn't have benefits and had very low income. That’s why I offer limited sliding scale spots in my private practice.

Sliding scale is one way I try to reduce financial barriers so support can feel more possible, especially during seasons where money is tight but support is needed most.

If you’ve been wondering whether therapy might be within reach for you, I invite you to inquire. We can have a transparent, compassionate conversation about options and see what feels realistic and supportive. No judgment, just options.

Feel free to send me a DM or email me at erika@care-connect.ca and inquire.

Growing a caseload can feel exciting AND overwhelming.

Using a scheduler (or two) helps me turn “mental clutter” into something concrete and manageable, so I know what’s coming, what I need, and where my time actually goes!

If you’re starting a private practice or increasing your caseload, a reliable scheduling system isn’t just about appointments and filling your free time, it’s about sustainability, boundaries, and giving your clients (and yourself) your best ♡

Here is my 2025 In-Review! ✨️I am incredibly grateful for all the support, growth, and connection that 2025 brought. Having started my private practice last May after leaving a group practice that made me feel undervalued and underworked, I'm so proud of myself for taking the leap as a RSSW and venturing out on my own. With my years of experience working in community mental health, it felt fitting to take this pathway now versus years later, and I'm amazed by the level of acceptance and care I have received during my journey. Thank you to everyone I have crossed paths with and to many more connections in 2026.

All stats are based off of manual logging and Jane booking stats.

Now Accepting New Therapy Clients for 2026 ✨

As we move toward the new year, I’m opening limited availability in my private practice for 2026. This is oftentimes a very busy time for therapists, and I’m grateful to be in a position where I can continue growing my practice while supporting new clients in their healing and growth.

I provide trauma-informed therapy for individuals ages 10+. To learn more about who I work with, my approach, and whether we might be a good fit, please visit my website at care-connect.ca (link in bio).

If you’ve been considering therapy in the new year, this may be a gentle time to reach out and secure a spot. Referrals are always welcome!

The holiday season can be tender, overwhelming, or bring up more than expected.

I’ll be offering therapy sessions this week and next week to support those who need a little extra care during this time.

I will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day, but I’m extending availability into Tuesday for added support.

You don’t have to hold everything alone this season. Check my bio to book a session.

This time of year can bring up a lot... people-pleasing urges, complicated family dynamics, heavy emotions, and the pressure to “be okay.”

Here are a few gentle reminders to carry with you:

- I can choose what I have the capacity for today

- My needs matter, even when others don’t understand them

- I don’t have to earn rest or joy

- It’s okay to step back from what feels overwhelming

- I release what isn’t mine to carry

- I can show up as I am, not as who others expect me to be

Use whichever ones speak to you, and leave the rest. Be kind to yourself this season.
