Meet Cheryl Oxford (she/her), a Registered Psychologist specializing in holistic, trauma-informed care. As a multi-minded practitioner, she views the mind not as a single entity, but as a dynamic system of different parts; each one deserving of compassion, curiosity, and understanding. By blending mind-body and psycho-spiritual frameworks, Cheryl supports her clients in achieving deep, transformative healing.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
