Emily McLeod, BScPN, RPN, MACP, CCC

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.

Hello there! My name is Emily (she/her), and I was born and raised in Winnipeg on Treaty 1 territory.

I’m a Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with eight years of experience across acute inpatient psychiatry, emergency mental health, crisis intervention, and dementia care. Over the past several years, I have also provided psychotherapy in private practice, integrating my psychiatric nursing background with evidence-based psychotherapy to offer a holistic approach to mental health care.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychiatric Nursing at Brandon University in 2018 and my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University in 2025. I am both a Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), allowing me to integrate my psychiatric nursing knowledge with evidence-based psychotherapy to provide holistic, client-centred care.

I believe therapy should be individualized, recognizing that different people need different things at different stages of their healing. My approach is grounded in a strong somatic and relational foundation, using a blended approach tailored to each client's unique goals, symptoms, and readiness for change. At times, therapy may focus on practical skill-building, psychoeducation, and nervous system regulation; at other times, it may involve exploring deeper emotional patterns, processing traumatic experiences, or increasing insight into the ways past experiences continue to influence the present. My goal is to create a compassionate, collaborative space where you feel genuinely understood while also being gently challenged toward meaningful, sustainable change.

My practice is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with appointments available both in person and virtually.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with my husband and our golden retriever, Gretchen, who joins sessions as a calm and comforting companion.
