Dakota Grass

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

“I primarily use emotion focused therapy with individuals and couples to build a strong therapeutic alliance and assist in processing core emotions. I am eager to explore your current and past narratives to understand you and your mental health challenges.”

About Me

I use Emotion-Focused Therapy with individuals and couples. We will build a strong, trusting alliance. Together, we can explore your current and past narratives to understand your mental health challenges. My aim is to help you process core emotions, making sense of what you feel. This approach suits those ready to deepen their self-understanding and find new paths forward.

Approach

We attend to the feelings beneath your stories, shaping sessions around careful tracking, naming, and gentle experiment—following whatever emerges rather than a fixed script. I see clients in London, Ontario and online in English, keeping scheduling and pacing flexible to match school, work, or caregiving demands. Sessions blend focused emotional work with body awareness and brief between-session experiments so you can practice new ways of relating and coping. This way of working tends to suit people seeking clearer emotional clarity and steadier connections.
