Supporting individuals & couples across Ontario
In-Person, Walk & Talk, and
Virtual Therapy
Welcome,
I’m Emily Muizelaar (she/her), a registered social worker who specializes in supporting individuals, couples, and parents through the uncertainty of reproductive and parenthood journeys. If you’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed from your past or present experiences, I can help support you.
My professional training and personal experiences inform this work of journeying with people who are interested in overcoming trauma, honouring loss, and finding healing.
Additionally, I specialize in supporting parents and families of neurodivergent children - as well as adults who may be impacted by it themselves.
The Juniper berry thrives where other plants
can not. It symbolizes resilience, healing, and renewal. Let’s move towards these experiences together.
About me.
I’m an eclectic practitioner, and I pull from various approaches including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy. I am also trained in several specific interventions for trauma & PTSD including Brainspotting, Prolonged Exposure, and Cognitive Processing Therapy.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature with my daughters, partner, and goldendoodle. I love baking anything sweet, cycling, and try to read a book when time allows.

Experiences I can help with:
My Services
In Person
Meeting in person allows us to share the same room, slow down, and connect without distractions — creating a space for reflection and growth.
(Locke St., Hamilton)
Walk and Talk
Being outdoors can help people feel more relaxed, grounded, and open - some may find it easier to open up or focus while moving rather than sitting face-to-face.
(Chedoke Radial Trail)
Virtual
Virtual therapy allows us to connect face-to-face from wherever you feel most comfortable. It’s convenient, flexible, and private, and it makes getting support easier when life and scheduling is busy.
