Amy Lee, MSW

Registered Social Worker

“A Registered Social Worker & EMDR Clinician passionate about supporting individuals who experience intergenerational trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. My style is relational, compassionate, trauma-informed, affirming, and collaborative.”

About Me

If you're navigating intergenerational trauma, low self-esteem, or relationship challenges, I offer compassionate support. My collaborative approach creates an affirming space where you can feel truly heard. As an EMDR Clinician, I use trauma-informed methods to help you process difficult experiences and build confidence. We can work together to understand your past, foster healthier connections, and feel more grounded. This is a space for your healing and growth.

Approach

That space then becomes active: sessions move at a gently paced, client-led rhythm where safety, grounding and clear goals shape each step. In Markham and online in English, I blend structured skill practice with targeted memory processing, pausing to build resources between sessions and adapting tools to your pace. You’ll notice practical experiments, gentle reprocessing, and collaborative reflection that link past patterns to present choices. This approach tends to suit people seeking steady, respectful work on confidence, relationships and inherited wounds.
