Maura McClellan

Maura is a warm and compassionate therapist who brings over 12 years of experience supporting children, teens, and parents through some of life’s most difficult challenges. Her experience as a Clinical Social Worker at the Hospital for Sick Children, Markham-Stouffville Hospital and Family Service Toronto has shaped her deep understanding of how physical and mental health struggles affect the whole family.

At the heart of Maura’s approach is a strong belief in the healing power of relationships. She works collaboratively with clients—whether children, families, or adults—to explore what matters most to them, understand their experiences, and tap into their natural strengths to make meaningful change. Her style is gentle, respectful, and grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based care.

Maura offers support for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, mood challenges, relationship difficulties, parenting stress, life transitions, and disordered eating. She also has specialized training in working with children and adults living with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.

She draws from a range of evidence-based approaches—such as Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Self-Compassion, and Expressive Arts Therapy—to tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs. But more than techniques, Maura prioritizes connection, trust, and emotional safety in every session.

As a mother of three grown children, Maura also brings a deeply personal understanding of the joys and struggles of family life. She’s committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to grow.
