Dr. Michele Locke
Individual Psychotherapy
I offer individual therapy to children, adolescents, and transitional aged youth (18-22 years). Interventions will focus on client goals. Treatment plans are developed in collaboration with clients after a thorough clinical assessment and opportunity to build trust and rapport. The goal of individual intervention is to support individuals to improve emotion regulation, and interpersonal relationships, and build a healthy and more balanced life. I am trained in the following intervention approaches:
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
SPACE Intervention (Parent based intervention for childhood anxiety disorders)
Exposure based trauma interventions
Attachment based interventions
Please note: Waitlist is CLOSED
Caregiving/Parenting Psychotherapy/Coaching
I offer individual therapy and coaching services to caregivers of children, adolescents, and transitional aged youth. These sessions are focused on supporting caregivers to develop strategies to support youth, and to strengthen emotional connection with your children. I believe strongly in the value of the caregiving system, and seek to empower caregivers as the main source of support for their children and adolescents. Email to find out more!

School Consultations
If you are a family I am working with who is seeking support within the school system for your child, I offer virtual consultations with teachers, school mental health works, and school admin. Consultations allow me to provide support to school-based staff to improve your child’s experience within the school system. Please inquire if interested. Please note, you must be working with me in individual caregiver support to access this service.
Supervision Services
If you are a clinical psychology or social work student or resident and looking for a placement during your training with supervision from a registered psychologist, please be in touch.
Training and Consultation Services
I offer training in the provision of Adolescent Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to clinics, hospitals, and community based programs seeking to increase their capacity in this treatment modality. I will seek to create a clinical training experience to meet the needs of your agency or service. I also provide ongoing clinical consultation in the area of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
