Londie Harrisson
MSW, RSW., Registered Social Worker
I have extensive education and experience in a plethora of areas including Sociology; Social Work; Critical Incident/trauma planning/debriefing; Child Protection; Family Law Advocacy; Clinical medical mental health; Violence Against Women/Family Abuse Service Provision; Suicide Intervention/support/training; First Responder Support/training; and more. I am practicing full-time in Private Practice and service in Northwestern Ontario (including travel to various Northern communities and/or via virtual/telecommunications). My primary client base consists of Ontario Provincial Police Association members (and Families); other First Responder members; and First Nation Community Band Members in roles of “Support workers/Helpers”. Helping the Helpers deal with life issues (family, mental health, work issues, etc.) makes up most of my client base. I offer direct billing for Great West Life insured clients, and also to those covered by Non-Insured Health Benefits, through Health Canada.
I also have a Therapy Dog (toy poodle) who is a Canadian Registered Service Dog used in certain therapeutic counselling settings as a “psychiatric support dog” for high-anxiety clients and with some children. This service is determined through consultation and mutual agreement after initial sessions.
