Meet The Team

Stacey Lock, MSW, RSW, BSW

Registered Social Worker BSW MSW

I have always been passionate about meeting people where they are at while providing a safe and non-judgmental space to share. I understand the value of affirming identities, and acknowledging strengths. I have experience working with youth, individuals struggling with addictions and mental health challenges, overwhelmed parents, and front line workers with burn out or compassion fatigue.

As a Therapist, I am motivated to help individuals reprocess their traumas, find tools to support emotional regulation, and encourage goal attainment. As a Chemical Dependency Counsellor, I see addiction as a form of resiliency. In the beginning, we use substances to address pain, mental health challenges, or to enhance performance. Then, for some, substance or behavioural addictions can have substantial consequences. As we move through life we may realize the addiction needs to be addressed. My hope is to support and strengthen the motivation to encourage change. I encourage my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings with the intention of supporting a change behaviour. I highly recommend and incorporate mindfulness practice and other self soothing techniques. I hold the strong belief that people are perfectly imperfect. They are beautiful and spectacular but can also become stuck, unhappy and may have a limiting belief that they are unable to live a fulfilling life. That’s where I come in.

As a passionate Registered Social Worker, my experience allows me to understand the best ways to address each client’s needs in an effective manner. I am flexible in my approach and use collaboration as the basis of my therapy. I provide strength-based encouragement while incorporating a variety of therapeutic modalities, including motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy and EMDR.

Certified Child and Youth Worker

Kelly Poisson, BSW, MSW, RSW

With more than a decade in social services, mental health, and addictions support, I work with teenagers and adults who want to make meaningful changes in their lives. I help clients who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps, and want practical skills plus compassionate support to move forward.

My background includes child & family services, housing and employment supports, and addiction work — all of which contribute to a practical, empathetic approach when supporting clients through stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and life transitions.

I provide compassionate, client-centered counselling tailored to each person’s needs. My practice integrates a range of approaches—Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-based counselling—and have training in crisis intervention, and chemical dependency work. Together we’ll set achievable goals and build the skills you need to reach them. I offer in-person and virtual appointments. I welcome LGBTQ2SA+ clients and provide an inclusive, affirming, safe space for all identities https://road2resiliencecounselling.janeapp.com/#/staff_member/4

Talking things through can really lift some of the weight off your mind. When we sit down together, we’ll create a plan to ease that tension. You don’t have to go through this journey alone!

I work on areas like anxiety, depression, attachment issues, relationships, codependency, and anger management. I believe everyone is adaptable, teachable, and resilient. We all want to become our best selves, but sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Let’s figure it out together!
