OUR APPROACH

The Cherry Tree Way

Compassionate therapy that helps you feel like yourself again.

Cherry Tree Counselling is a women-centred mental health practice providing compassionate, trauma-informed counselling in Dundas and virtually across Ontario. Our multidisciplinary team supports women, parents, couples, families and individuals through a wide range of mental health concerns, life stages and experiences, with care that recognizes each person's individual story, identity and needs.

At Cherry Tree, we believe no one should have to carry everything alone. We offer a space of care, safety, and healing where you can share your story, reconnect with your voice, and face life’s challenges with strength and self-trust.

Our approach nurtures relational care where individuals, in all their diversity, feel seen, valued, and empowered. Together, we’ll honour your lived experience, clarify your goals, and create a path forward rooted in connection, compassion, and resilience

Wherever you are in your journey, we’ll walk with you.

THE MEANING BEHIND OUR NAME

As the national flower of Japan, the cherry blossom is one of the most prominent images throughout Japanese culture and reflects a longstanding Buddhist concept in Japanese culture known as “mono no aware,” or roughly, “the pathos of things,” which recognizes both the beauty and mortality inherent in life.

So stunning, yet so brief in their glory, the natural beauty of the blossoms serves as a visual reminder that our lives are also precious, transient and impermanent. 

As we go forward, we can learn to engage with the space we are in, to find joy, passion and renewal in the small gifts tucked inside each day.

 

Known as 'Sakura', the cherry blossom symbolizes revival, and rebirth.

Commitment to Indigenous Peoples

At Cherry Tree Counselling, we are committed to reconciliation, relationship-building, and action that honours the rights, dignity, and sovereignty of Indigenous Peoples. We recognize that this work is ongoing and are dedicated to listening, learning, and contributing to meaningful change within our practice and our broader community.
