CBT Clinician from our Ontario Structured Psychotherapy Program
Asheanna’s advice/inspiration for others
Life is about learning, so I encourage others to be self-compassionate and give yourselves space to grow! Remind yourself that you are doing the best you can! As Maya Angelou said, “do the best you can until you know better then when you know better, do better.”
Asheanna’s favourite accomplishment/moment at CMHA
My favourite accomplishments here at CMHA is that I am able to utilize my skillset to support others in the community! Although, I continue to grow professionally, I am able to make small differences that help clients work through their mental health challenges! As for my favourite moments here at CMHA, it is, hands down, connecting in-person for events such as the CMHA Connects Staff Retreat – it is always a good vibe!
Why Asheanna enjoys working at CMHA
I love working here at CMHA because of my wonderful colleagues who continuously make me feel supported and seen – I am filled with a sense of belonging! From the company’s culture to the constant ongoing push for professional growth, CMHA continues to work towards a larger goal to support others, which aligns with my personals values!
How the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy Program (OSP) is making a difference in our community
Access to mental health services, especially cost efficient/friendly services, has become very difficult for some communities. However, the OSP programs supports individuals in the community with free cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) services that can support their mental health! Additionally, the stepped care model we offer helps provide individuals with the level of care that best meets their needs. Overall, our program aids in improving emotional, work and social functioning so individuals can participate in the community meaningfully!
