Section Styles about

ABOUT ME

For over a decade I have worked with individuals of various ages and stages of life and across a multitude of service spectrums. In addition to M.B Counselling, I continue to work at Baycrest as a Clinical Social Worker providing resource and supportive counselling in outpatient programs.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. My goal is to create a safe and supportive counselling environment where you are able to explore your thoughts, behaviours, relationships, vulnerabilities, and emotions.

MEREDITH BLIDNER

It is our job to be curious together, to ask questions, and through my guidance find a willingness to go deep and unpack. I want to help empower you to achieve a greater sense of balance and functioning in your life.

I do not believe in a one size fits all approach to therapy. I employ a mixed-bag approach to my work pulling from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Based approaches.

If you wish to learn more about M.B Counselling’s services and approach, please feel free to contact me for a free initial chat.

My Credentials

I received my Bachelor of Arts (BA) from Dalhousie University with a major in International Development Studies and my Master’s of Social Work (MSW) from Yeshiva University, Wurzweiler School of Social Work in New York City with a focus in Individual Counselling.

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and am in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) & the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW)

SERVICES

M.B Counselling has a particular focus assisting adults with anxiety, depression, general mood concerns & overall mental health & wellness goals. M.B Counselling also works with individuals processing various life transitions, wanting to achieve work-life balance, stress management & personal goal setting. M.B Counselling provides supportive counselling around loss & grief, relationship concerns & general self exploration.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

my process

The process of working with M.B. Counselling is quite fluid and organic. While we keep specific goals in mind, we always leave plenty of space for the here-and-now issues or concerns that come up in day-to-day life. You remain in the driver’s seat of sessions. I help to guide The process.

CONNECT

Connect with M.B Counselling for a brief initial chat/consult. If it feels like a good fit, we schedule our first session.

INTAKE SESSIONS

The first 1-2 sessions are what I call the Information Dump sessions. I want to get the lay of the land of who you are and what your life looks like. This helps to lay the groundwork for us to dig into your goals and our work together.

GET TO WORK

Approximately Session 3 and beyond we get to work to dig into your goals and desired outcomes.
