Elizabeth Akinyemi, MSW, RSW

Registered Social Worker

Location: Cambridge

Hello there, my name is Elizabeth. I am a Christian, a cis-gendered woman, an immigrant who is incredibly grateful to now call Canada home.

I am a proud mama of 4 beautiful children and our crew range from University to preschool. I am passionate about supporting women and couples struggling with infertility because I have been there and I know the importance of having the right support when we are going through a difficult season in life.

I work from a trauma informed stance because I acknowledged that (although unfortunately) most of us have encountered trauma in our lives. I seek to create a safe harbour for my clients and I honour the vulnerability and the resilience it takes for people to tell their stories, resolve past trauma, examine unhelpful thinking style in their lives and move towards healing.

This quote by Brene Brown “We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to” captures the essence of my work with people. I strive to be your ally and I bring my whole self to the room to help you lean in mindfully, do the necessary work and emerge as your best self.

Treatment focus: Infertility|Fertility Support, Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Postpartum Depression and difficulties, Couple’s work, Conflict management, Stress and Behavioral Management, Addiction Recovery and Life Transitions.

I offer both Christian (using scriptures in conjunction with evidence based modality) and Secular counseling. I am trained in Traumatology and other therapy models. However, I use an Eclectic Therapy Approach in ways that best meet the needs of my clients.

I will be honoured to hold the space for you, bring my best self to work with you as you journey through whatever this season holds for you.  You can book a complimentary 15 minutes session for us to meet either virtually or in-person. I have some mornings, evenings and weekend appointments. I look forward to meeting you.
