Meg Houghton
Registered Psychotherapist
I’m a Toronto-based Registered Psychotherapist specializing in narrative, mindfulness and somatic approaches to mental health. Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in colleges and universities for two decades supporting student mental health, wellness and accessibility for people with disabilities.
Modern western culture works to disconnect us from our inner wisdom and authenticity by imposing standards for what is acceptable according to colonial logics (a fundamentally hetero-patriarchal, racist, ableist, capitalist paradigm). Being raised in this culture has varying impacts for people, depending on social location and life experiences. We need courage to question the so-called truths of our culture, explore its personal and relational impacts, and craft new possibilities. With conscious commitment, we can learn how to be still, honour inner-wisdom, and move at a pace that feels safe. For me, the therapeutic relationship is collaborative and creative, not “expert healer treating unwell client”. Let’s work together to listen deeply to your soul’s wisdom and to move toward the congruence it desires. I respectfully acknowledge that I live and work on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabe, The Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, as part of Treaties 14 and that the government acted in bad faith in treaty dealings. I provide in-person counselling on Saturdays, and virtual counselling on week days. I do not use AI in my practice. |
