Get To Know Terri
Life can take us down difficult paths, but you don’t have to walk alone.
Hi There! My name is Terri De Borger. I am a registered social worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
I’m also a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers as well as the Canadian Association for Play Therapy (CAPT).
I specialize in working with children, youth and their families who are going through a difficult season in life.
I obtained my Master of Social Work degree in 2011 from the University of Western Ontario. I have worked with children and youth in a variety of settings including hospital, school board, as well as a community based mental health organization. I have supported families through a variety of difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, as well as other developmental life transitions.
My approach is collaborative, client-centred, and trauma informed. I have completed all 3 levels of play therapy training through the CAPT, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Basic Training, as well as participated in various other training including CBT, DBT, and other trauma and attachment based modalities.
“Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued.”

My Story
My journey began over a decade ago learning and growing in my work with children, adolescence and their families. I recognized very quickly that each individual came with a unique story, as well as their own set of skills and abilities to assist them along the way.
I understand that life can be unexpected and we can feel at a loss for what to do next. Sometimes we ask ourselves, how did we get here? What can I do? When will this get easier? My experiences have also allowed me to bear witness to the strength, growth and resilience of individuals and families.
I want your counselling experience to be one where you feel heard, respected, and safe. To build a relationship that fosters connection and growth.
