Lesley Dalzell, MSW, RSW | Registered Social Worker | Psychotherapist 

Lesley’ interest in mental health evolved from working as a Massage Therapist 20 years ago when she became curious about the different ways that people heal. This awareness sparked her interest to study psychology and neuroscience, and eventually clinical social work. She holds a Bachelor of Science with a major in Psychology, a Masters in Social Work, and has two publications in the area of neuroscience.

Lesley values all of her experience which includes working in residential treatment centers, with local family health teams, and at a lead community mental health agency.

Her areas of special interest include, but are not limited to, attachment theory, developmental theory, motivation and emotion, trauma, and brain science. She is also passionate about working with prenatal and postpartum clients. She uses a mix of therapeutic approaches with clients which include mindfulness, CBT, DBT principles, and EMDR.
