STREET THERAPY
“The meaning of the Street in all ways and at all times is the need for sharing life with others and the search for community.”

Kitchener, Canada's old "German capital," has undergone many changes over the years. Just about 10 years ago, the city of Kitchener established heritage preservation in the area which initiated redevelopment of old buildings into commercial and loft living spaces. Google's decision to move in the old Tannery district in 2011, now known as the Innovation District, helped give new life and attracted more people to work and live in the growing city.
In 2015, Bernadette started providing psychotherapy and consulting services in Kitchener-Waterloo. She decided to share office space with wonderful and collaborative healthcare practitioners in Waterloo. In 2017, Bernadette's training and on-going registration with the College of Psychologists of Ontario had changed her work concentration and availability.
Bernadette joined CityZen Studios at One Victoria between February to July of 2018, so she can continue to see clients on a part-time basis. However, indeed, life can throw many changes at once which prompted Street Therapy to move into a cozy historical century building.
As of July 29th, 2018, Street Therapy operates at 177 Victoria location. Bernadette will be conducting psychotherapy and consultations at this location. As well, Carolyn Shilton will continue to provide psycho-educational assessments with Street Therapy.
177 Victoria is comprised of other professional services/ businesses that operate independently. Bernadette's decision to share an office with various professionals is not a typical choice for many mental health professionals. She primarily decided to do this to decrease the stigma of coming into therapy as well as to integrate mental health services with various disciplines and businesses.
When it comes to understanding and taking care of our health, we need to know that mental health is as important as physical health. Bernadette believes that mental health support should not be viewed as the last resort to having a satisfying life but one of the most important resources we need to access and nurture.
