Monica Pease MSW RSW | Guelph Ontario Canada
I am a learner and a helper, curious to understand the why and the how of living and healing. Being sensitive to the pain, discomfort, and joy of living beings has always been a part of me, and so my empathy meter is (mostly) always running. I manage myself in my vocation through self-compassion, meditation, listening to music, and being in or near the lake or ocean. Humour also holds a high value in my life and practice.
I have spent all my working life in health care, including long-term care, spinal cord injury, palliative care, and primary care. For a brief stint, I dabbled in a variety of roles in post-secondary education working with a cross-section of academics and researchers. I'm grateful to have been able to hone my skills in all of my roles.
In my professional role, some of the issues that individuals seek support for include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and bereavement, chronic pain, stress management, and life transitions. I am also very interested in supporting individuals who are experiencing the outcomes of menopause transition, from perimenopause through to post-menopause. Helping individuals along this transition is very important; many health care providers are unable to spend the time with you to fully educate you on this transition - I can help fill in the gaps and empower you to advocate for your health.
