Haley Blumenfeld, MSW, RSW | Registered Social Worker | Psychotherapist | Founder of HB Therapy
I founded HB Therapy, a virtual psychotherapy practice, that meets clients right where they are, to help address the gap in high-quality and compassionate psychotherapy for women, parents and couples in Ontario.
​
I provide therapy to adults and couples experiencing diverse challenges such as symptoms related to a mental health concern, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. I am particularly passionate about women's mental health. I have extensive experience supporting clients around reproductive and maternal well-being, including concerns such as role transition challenges, infertility, and postpartum depression.
I have a Masters of Social Work from The University of Toronto. I have worked as a therapist at several hospitals in Toronto. As a hospital social worker, I have been involved in mental health research and facilitated psychotherapy seminars for medical clerks, residents, and other learners. My therapeutic process recognizes client's as the expert of their experience and is founded on respect for each individual's pace. I offer a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive approach that is individualized to each of my client's unique goals and strengths. My approach to therapy integrates techniques from several evidence-based models: Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Interpersonal Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy.​
My process aims to support clients in reducing painful emotional symptoms by developing coping strategies and empowering them to foster change. I appreciate that the therapy journey is a courageous undertaking and aim to create a space that is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative so that clients feel safe to engage in healing and self-exploration.​
