Cherrie Fielder, MSW, H.BA, RSW

 

Life can have its ups and downs, making it feel overwhelming at times. Do you find yourself often worrying, feeling overwhelmed with emotions, struggling to have boundaries with others including your kids, are you recently separated or in an unhealthy or unhappy relationship? I provide a supportive, compassionate, non-judgemental, safe space, to work on developing greater self-awareness, learning how to improve your relationships with others and yourself and discover how to manage those overwhelming times. I practice emotion-focused, mindfulness, self-compassion, and attachment approaches and am currently completing the advanced training in Psychodramatic Bodywork through Susan Aaron.

​

My experience includes supporting adults with anxiety/depression, childhood and domestic abuse, parenting, co-dependency, and separation. I also work supporting IPV workers with the challenges and impact on them from doing such difficult work.

 

I previously worked for five years as a Collaborative Family Law Family Professional supporting couples through the emotional challenges of separation and co-parenting, and bring this knowledge to my practice for those considering separation or are currently in the process and struggling with the emotions related to this experience. 

​

My qualifications include:

• Master of Social Work Degree: Children and Families, University of Toronto. 2018

• Level 1 & 2: Collaborative Law training 

• Masters level course: Family Mediation, University of Toronto. 2018 

• Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree: Women’s Studies & English Literature, Trent University. 2010 

• Social Service Worker Diploma, Durham College. 2008

• Trained in Intimate Partner Violence and Family Law

• I continue my education regularly through workshops, certifications, and webinars - see my LinkedIn profile at: www.linkedin.com/in/cherrie-fielder-msw-hba-rsw-1a363720

I am a member in good standing with:

• the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW)

• the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW)

• Chi Delta, the University of Toronto’s chapter of Phi Alpha Social Work Honour Society

   

     On a personal level, I have embraced the joys and challenges of being a spouse, parent, single parent, stepparent, and grandparent, and bring the knowledge of those experiences to my practice. I look forward to hearing from you.
