Debbie Smith
Master of Social Work, Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW)
Debbie brings a steady, down-to-earth approach to counselling — the kind of support that helps you feel understood, capable, and less alone in what you’re carrying. With decades of experience in child welfare and a strengths-based lens, she meets clients where they’re at and helps them build practical momentum forward.

Areas of focus may include:
Stress and emotional overwhelm
Depression and low mood
ADHD
Relationship challenges (individual support)
Self-esteem, guilt, and shame
Emotional regulation
Survivors of abuse and neglect
Flexible session options (as offered through her practice) can include:
In-office sessions
Walk & Talk sessions
Home visits (when stepping out isn’t feasible)
Training & Experience
Debbie has over 31 years of experience in child welfare and holds a Master’s degree in Social Work. She also brings a unique blend of physical and emotional wellness into her work, including options like trauma-release kickboxing as a therapeutic outlet for emotional release.
