If you’re here, something in your life is asking for relief, clarity, or change. Maybe you’re tired of carrying everything alone. Maybe your relationships feel heavier than they should. Maybe you’ve been strong for so long that you don’t remember what it feels like to simply breathe without pressure. You might be navigating anxiety, stress, emotional patterns, cultural expectations, or pain you’ve never had the space to unpack. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. When we work together, my focus is simple—I help you slow down, understand yourself, and reconnect with the parts of you that are overwhelmed, unheard, or forgotten. I meet you exactly where you are and offer a space where you can speak freely, feel understood, and explore what’s been weighing on your mind and heart. You won’t get judgment, dismissal, or a cold clinical approach. You’ll get someone who listens deeply and supports you with honesty, warmth, and cultural awareness. My style blends psychotherapy with mind–body work and culturally rooted healing principles. I believe your story, your upbringing, and your lived experience matter. They shape how you see the world and how the world responds to you. Together, we explore how your history impacts your relationships, your boundaries, your triggers, and the way you protect yourself. We unpack your patterns, strengthen your emotional foundation, and build practical tools you can use right away to feel more grounded and in control. Therapy with me is an active and collaborative process. We talk, we reflect, we challenge old narratives, and we develop new ones that empower you. I’ll help you understand yourself on a deeper level and guide you toward healthier connections, healthier coping, and a healthier relationship with your own mind and emotions. My goal is to help you feel lighter, clearer, and more secure in who you are. If you’re ready to explore healing that is culturally grounded, compassionate, and genuinely transformative, I would be honoured to walk with you. You can begin your journey here through CoachSpence Wellness & Therapy Services, where your story is honoured and your growth becomes the priority.

Hello and Welcome! I am so glad you are here! My name is Elizabeth Boom and I have been providing psychotherapy since 2012. My training includes a Bachelor of Arts Honors in Psychology from the University of Guelph, a Masters of Divinity in Clinical Counselling from Tyndale University in Toronto, and extensive professional development including specialized training in EMDR and Brainspotting. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (Supervisor Qualifying) with the Canadian Association for Couple and Family Therapy (CACFT). Currently I specialize with individuals looking to overcome challenges and grow to reach their full potential. One of my greatest joys is seeing the growth, healing and achievements of my clients. I count it a privilege to be able to walk alongside each person though their challenges. Sometimes I like to view psychotherapy through the lens of a hike. Consider me, your therapist as a trustworthy guide and companion on the journey. Together we choose where we would like to end up and decide which challenges to face as a team. We get to know each other as we walk side by side. As obstacles arise I will offer a hand up and tools to help us on the trail. I am here to help point you to the path if you feel lost along the way. Hiking can be hard work and sometimes you can wonder if it is worth it. I take delight in encouraging you and providing you a space where you can pause and reflect on the ground you have covered. After hiking up a trail, it is so rewarding to reach the goal; perhaps it is a lookout point that provides a new perspective, or regaining something that was lost, or maybe a new sense of confidence and peace. When the hike comes to an end we can celebrate the journey we were able to take together. Then if you want to hike together again just get in touch and we can go on a new therapeutic adventure. I provide counselling from a Christian perspective for those who are looking for this approach to therapy. I welcome people of all faiths in my practice. I provide counselling in English only. However, I am able to understand French and Spanish. Some clients find it helpful to be able to express themselves during therapy in these languages when necessary.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the process of change. Change can be difficult but is possible with the right assistance and researched methods. My aim is to facilitate a therapeutic process that allows clients- to realize their own strengths and capabilities, view their issues from a new perspective and have a renewed hope as they begin their journey towards a brighter tomorrow. I acknowledge the strength it takes for anyone to reach out to a stranger in the face of personal struggle and as such I make it my personal endeavor from the time I first communicate with you on the phone to provide the comfort and empathy that is needed in order for you to feel safe and empowered to book an appointment to meet with me.

My integrative therapeutic approach is rooted in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and trauma therapies. I believe that we become stuck in our pain when we hold it alone, disconnected from our core emotional experiences, and build defenses that become in a way of living our lives authentically. In our work together, we will explore your struggles and their roots, identify how painful experiences became stuck and are affecting your present-day life, and examine ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world that no longer serve you. We will process unresolved experiences and feelings, helping you access your inner wisdom, strength, and resources to navigate your life in a way that feels right for you. In my work, I’m oriented toward the innate ability to heal and thrive that we all have. I strive to craft an environment where it becomes possible. Even though I co-create a unique therapy with each person, what stays the same is having a safe space to hear your story and a secure relationship to explore it together, figuring out many ways of dealing with life challenges, and reaching for strength and resiliency to master the skill of living. I focus on enhancing emotional awareness, building healthier emotional regulation skills, and cultivating self-compassion. Together, we will work towards healing past traumas, improving relationships, and empowering you to live a more fulfilling and authentic life. Additionally, we can explore existential questions such as the search for meaning, the inevitability of change, and accepting life’s uncertainties, leading to profound insights and a deeper understanding of your place in the world.
