Erin O’Rourke

Erin began her career in education, teaching with the Calgary Board for ten years before making the move to Toronto in 2017. In that time, Erin focused her work in special-education settings, from gifted programs to school and hospital-based mental health programs. Along with counselling, Erin now teaches with the Toronto District School Board, specializing in programming for at-risk learners. Erin has worked with a wide range of young people over her career, and now focuses her counselling around supporting youth and young adults whose lives have been impacted by mental health challenges.

First and foremost, Erin approaches her counselling from the lens that all individuals want to find success; they may just need help removing barriers that stand in the way of that success. While Erin draws from several approaches, the primary therapeutic interventions that inform her work include Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Collaborative Strengths-Based Problem Solving.

Erin sees individual teens, parents and families.

Erin practises at our Runnymede & Bloor location.
