About Debbie Wagler RP, CCC, MA, BEd
I trained as a Registered Psychotherapist after several rewarding years as a teacher. With a growing awareness of the mental health needs in schools and communities, I entered the Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy program at Wilfrid Laurier University, and soon came to love this work. My therapeutic approaches are attachment based, trauma informed, play based, and spiritually integrated.
What are your pivotal moments?

About Debbie Wagler RP, CCC, MA, BEd
I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. People I meet with are often processing pivotal moments in their past – moments that have impacted how they see themselves, relate to others, or form their values and beliefs. Sometimes they are in a current pivot point and navigating significant life changes. I support people as they move through these moments.

Why try Psychotherapy?
Some gifts of psychotherapy are to be heard, to connect, and to have your feelings reflected back to you with respect and understanding. I consider it an honour to bear witness to the deep pains and joys of people who are seeking change, wanting to "get unstuck", or perhaps just needing a listening ear and an accepting space to sort through their experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
A collaborative process centred on your goals
What to expect:
- Therapy is an interactive and collaborative process. We'll co-create a customized plan of therapy for your situation and needs.
- I'll ask about prior experiences of therapy, if any, so we can incorporate what worked and avoid what didn't.
- You'll fill out a brief health history form which will launch our discussions in your initial sessions. It includes information about your strengths and challenges.
- As I get to know you, I will suggest various ways to address your concerns, drawing from attachment-based, trauma-informed, play-based, and spiritually-integrated psychotherapies.
- Some things I suggest may feel like a fit, and others may not. Your feedback will guide our process.
