"Healing can happen anywhere"

Eugenia De Marco MSW-RSW

Message to you....

I believe therapy isn`t just a service – it`s a deeply human experience, a chance to reconnect with yourself and a meaningful opportunity for growth, healing and transformation. And the best part? Healing can happen anywhere!

Life doesn’t always follow a tidy schedule. Maybe you’re balancing work, family, and everything in between. Maybe the thought of stepping into an office feels overwhelming. Or perhaps health or mobility challenges make getting there a struggle. But your need for support, clarity, and change is no less important.

That’s why I offer therapy that comes to you. You’ll receive the same compassionate, confidential care you'd expect in a traditional setting—only in a way that fits into your world, your rhythm, your space.

All you need is the willingness to begin. I’ll be here to walk alongside you—because healing doesn’t need the perfect setting. It simply begins when you’re ready.

About Me

I began my professional journey nearly two decades ago as a licensed Psychologist in Italy. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families in a variety of settings, always with the same core belief: that healing starts in a space where you feel seen, heard, and safe. Now, based in Ontario, I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and I am a registered member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. My training includes a range of therapeutic approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family System (IFS), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma Counselling.

My Approach

At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change begins with a safe and collaborative relationship, where we move at your pace, explore what matters to you, and work together to make sense of the challenges you’re facing. I’m here to support you as you navigate your inner world, reconnect with yourself or your partner, and build more meaningful relationships, first of all, the one to yourself. No two stories are the same: each person carries their own story, struggles, and strengths—and it’s an honour to walk alongside each person as they uncover their voice, rediscover their strength, and move toward a life that feels more grounded and whole.
