Julie Mason, RSW
Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW)
Over 10 years of experience in mental health in Guelph community and health care settings, I’ve supported people to make more sense of what “health” and “illness” means to them. Let’s work with what you have right now, by listening to the signals. Together in counselling, we’ll get curious about these patterns and find ways to settle, restore, and trust again—so your mind and body can start working with each other instead of against each other.
