Bio: Deshawna is a Trauma-Informed Social Worker, EMDR Therapist, and Yoga Instructor based in Toronto, Ontario. She supports Black and Racialized women navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the impacts of racial and intergenerational trauma through culturally responsive, body-based care. She also works with eligible First Nations and Inuit clients through Non Insured Health Benefits (NIHB).
Her work integrates EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapy with somatic practices such as breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and restorative yoga to support both emotional and nervous system healing. Deshawna works with clients who may feel overwhelmed or stuck, helping them move beyond traditional talk therapy to process experiences also held in the body.
