Mr. Dwight Thompson

Registered Social Worker/Psychotherapist

I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 15 years. My approach to psychotherapy rests on the conviction that people have their own abilities to heal and be resilient. My role as a process consultant helps people unlock their own potential and find creative and individualized paths that lead towards fulfillment, joy and inner peace. 

Whether it’s working with individuals, couples or families, my hope is that I can help you find and strengthen your own internal capacity that directs, guides and heals from life hurts. I am always honored to be called upon to assist when asked. 

Clinical Experience

As a Registered Social Worker (Ontario), I provide counselling therapy to couples and individuals. I enjoy primarily working with individuals and couples using a systemic and experiential approach that includes models of counselling based on The Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and Individuals. I am currently under supervision and working towards my registration as a Marriage and Family Therapist through the Canadian & American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.

My employment background includes working in health care, mental health, and rehabilitation settings; critical and trauma care; as well as the grief and bereavement sector.
