Are you struggling with your mental health, life changes, or an important decision? While loved ones may want to help, professional support can make a meaningful difference.

Welcome to Solas Mindful Wellness. I’m Robbie Shea (MSW, RSW), a Social Worker with 23 years of experience supporting people through mental health concerns, trauma, addiction, health changes, relationship difficulties, and other life challenges. My own early adversities led me to this work and continue to guide my commitment to helping others navigate life’s complexities.

I have worked with people across the lifespan, from children as young as 10 to older adults. As a compassionate, client-centred counsellor, I bring care, curiosity, and understanding to each session. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, helping you build clarity while honouring you as the expert in your own life.

I also specialize in working with transgender and LGBTQAIS2+ clients, providing a safe, affirming, and supportive space to explore relationships and personal goals. My services include 1:1 counselling, hormone readiness assessments, support through family and relationships, navigating transitions and much more. My approach is individualized, compassionate, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique experiences.

I draw on approaches such as EMDR, EFT, CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, and others to meet your unique needs. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I tailor therapy to support your individual journey. If this sounds like the support you’re looking for, I look forward to hearing from you.
