THERAPY CAN HELP YOU

Feel more connected to yourself & others

Sometimes, the ways we've learned to cope can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves. You might notice yourself overthinking, putting others' needs ahead of your own, or responding to situations in ways that are difficult to understand. Perhaps part of you wants things to change, while another part feels unsure of how.

Whatever brings you here, you deserve support.

I’m Sabrina Sibbald, a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) and Psychotherapist. At Yellow Leaf Therapy, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion.

Together, we'll work toward understanding the patterns that have shaped you, making space for your thoughts and feelings, and discovering new ways of responding that feel more aligned with who you are and what matters to you.
