About Nicole Barbour RSW
A Little About Me
I am a Registered Social Worker in the province of Ontario, Canada. I specialize in Evidence Based Therapy modalities including Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. My mission is to provide accessible virtual and in person therapy for those living within the province of Ontario. I pride myself on my well rounded 25+ years of experience combined with compassion and empathy and am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their goals and improve their mental health from a client centred approach. I provide a non-judgemental safe environment and adhere to all privacy guidelines and expectations set out by the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) as well as the Personal Health Information Protection Act (2004).
​
In my free time I love to be outdoors with my dogs hiking and swimming, hanging with my grown children who teach me so much, camping with my spouse, travelling, relaxing, and reading. This is where I find peace and balance.
