Hello, Welcome. My name is Dyneisha Dorrington. RSW, MSW, CC-PMH.

I am a mother of three in a beautiful blended family. After a chaotic transition to motherhood, when the timing was right I begun my Masters of Social Work which lead me to focus on prenatal and postpartum care within Black, Indigenous and People of Colour parenting communities. Both having stories of my own and having provided trauma counselling for many years, supporting parents, families and youth in trauma responsive and culturally sensitive practical ways holds great importance to me personally, professionally and academically.

I have been providing counselling and therapy services, advocacy and specialized services for the last 9 years filling many roles and experiences within my career, including working within  multiple Ontario Rape Crisis Center alongside survivors of intimate partner and family violence, at the Ministry of Community and Social Services as a Children’s’ and Family Mental Health Clinician and most recently, at Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Training as the Impact and Inclusion Coordinator and Consultant.

I am a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers and am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Services Workers (OCSWSSW). I am also a member of the Ontario Association of Family Mediators (OAFM).

I am Perinatal Mental Health Counselling certified (CC-PMH) and hold specialized training in Internal Family Systems, and Birth and Reproductive Trauma for perinatal populations from Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Training.

Above all, I bring my lived experience to the counselling relationship and a strong belief in collaborative, individualized mental health care, fostering a space in which  tears, laughter, and  genuine unburdening can happen.
