Christine Knox, MSW, RSW

  My work is centred around my belief that people are resourceful and do the best they can at any given moment in time. I’ve always been interested in peoples’ stories; the experiences that shape our sense of self and others. You are truly the expert in your own life and the work we do together will hopefully support you to see your own capacity to navigate life’s challenges. I work with anxiety disorders and specialize in obsessive compulsive disorder, but I also work with people struggling with grief, life transitions and depression.

I’m a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University and have been practicing for over 20 years. I’ve been fortunate to gain rich experience working across many settings including Lakeridge Health Centre, Trillium Health Centre, Peel District School Board and the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto. I’m also a Practicum Supervisor through the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto where I’m fortunate to support MSW candidates.

 As a qualifying psychotherapist with a foundation in mindfulness and self-compassion, my practice is dedicated to creating a caring and safe space where individuals, adolescents, and families can navigate life’s challenges, gain personal awareness and define and work toward meaningful goals. My approach combines empathy, collaboration, and practical tools to empower clients on their journey to healing and growth.

Currently, I am completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and bring over four years of experience as a Certified Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Instructor. My programs for adults and teens are rooted in evidence-based practices and delivered with warmth and understanding. Having experienced the transformative power of self-compassion in my own life, I am passionate about helping others discover their inner strength, reduce self-criticism, and cultivate emotional resilience.
