I honour your experiences, feelings, and beliefs and will walk beside you on your journey.
Hello, my name is Susan Ockrant-Johnston and I’m glad you’re here. People access counselling to make changes in their life. I will walk beside you, supporting and guiding you in making those changes. With over 17 years of experience, I understand and appreciate the importance of having a therapist you can trust. My goal is to support you in examining your thoughts and feelings, while achieving a greater sense of self worth. I have worked for McMaster University providing counselling for students for the past 16 years, while at the same time working in my own practice supporting individuals, couples and families.

3. Professional Knowledge – I am dedicated to ongoing professional development and continue to stay knowledgeable on the various improvements in my profession
4. Your Best Interest – My primary goal and professional obligation will be to continue to advocate for change with your best interest in mind
There are a few quotes that have been impactful in my growth and development and here is one that you may find helpful.
