Hi, I’m Christy, founder of Hope in Healing.
I am a mother and a therapist, and both of these roles have shaped the way I walk alongside others on their healing journey.
Over the years, my two children and I have navigated challenges and barriers that have strengthened my role as an advocate and deepened my belief in the importance of being heard, finding your voice, and honoring your path whatever it may look like. I am so grateful to be their mom and proud of them both.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and also hold an M.Ed. in Community Counselling. Every client I’ve had the privilege to work with over the course of my 25 years in the mental health field has broadened my perspective and informed my holistic and inclusive approach to care.
When I’m not with clients, you’ll find me enjoying a walk with my dog or spending quality time with my family and friends.
Psychotherapy sessions are custom tailored to you and the challenges you’re facing in your life. Whether we are in an individual, couples, or family session, we are dedicated to providing a place where you feel welcome to show up as your most authentic self.
We work with a wide range of clients, from adolescents to adults, who are ready for change and are motivated to do something different. You can learn more about working with us in the FAQs below. If your question isn't answered or you want to get started, please contact us.

Land acknowledgment from Christy Burgess:
I respectfully acknowledge that the land on which I work and gather is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg and Attawandaron (Neutral) Peoples. They have maintained a longstanding sacred relationship with the land and water in southwestern Ontario since time immemorial. I honour the resilience, wisdom, and ongoing contributions of all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples across Canada.
The impacts of colonization led to displacement of the Indigenous Peoples, loss of life, soul wounds, and intergenerational trauma which continue to be felt today. Systemic injustices and discrimination persist, and it is our collective responsibility to acknowledge them and no longer ignore it! We must find a way to end these atrocities so that we all may find a way to begin to repair and heal what has been done. Healing cannot begin without truth, and reconciliation requires action.
I recognize that my land acknowledgement does not change the past, nor can it undo the long-standing harm that has been caused. However, as a Registered Psychotherapist, I am committed to listening, learning, and integrating culturally responsive and trauma-informed approaches into my practice. I strive to create a safe space that respects Indigenous knowledge, promotes healing, and supports reconciliation in meaningful ways.
