Simone Olinek
Simone Olinek is a Registered Psychotherapist (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario), a Canadian Certified Counsellor (Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association), a Certified Health and Wellness Coach and former Clinical Exercise Physiologist with the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiologists.
She takes a holistic approach to psychotherapy that integrates the components of well-being relevant to each client. Therapy is conducted through a person-centred, integrative framework that incorporates evidence-based and trauma-informed treatment models like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Polyvagal Therapy, parts work (such as Internal Family Systems and Structural Dissociation Theory), Cognitive Processing Therapy and positive psychology. She is constantly increasing her professional toolbox to meet the needs of clients. She integrates expertise and professional certifications in health and wellness coaching
and exercise sciences, when indicated, to help clients access the benefits of health-promoting lifestyle behaviours.
In addition to her current work in mental health, Simone spent 8 years working with the Directorate of Fitness (DFit) Human Performance Research team in the Department of National Defence. She has experience with the military community through professional fieldwork, research, and as a military spouse, resulting in a comprehensive understanding of the demands and challenges placed on service members and their families.
Simone has worked and studied in several countries across Asia, Africa, Europe and North America, including volunteering with the Jamaica Paraplegic Association and
Paralympic team, with refugee organizations along the Thailand / Myanmar border, and studying in Ghana, Belgium and Ireland.
