Faith Laverty
MSW, RSW
Registered Social Worker & Psychotherapist |
For as long as she can remember, Faith has loved listening to others and holding a safe space for people to share their stories. Faith believes that the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship developed between the therapist and the client. Strong rapport creates a safe space to heal and repair attachment wounds formed in childhood.
