Amy Johnston, MSW

Hi, I’m Amy.

I’m a therapist living in a magical forest up in Northern Ontario, Canada.

I believe that our hardships are our greatest teachers & that good therapy is alchemizing. As we each turn inward the collective evolves & expands.

I interact with life playfully & have a knack for noticing signs & synchronicities.

I believe we’re at a point of powerful transformation on the planet & I’m honoured to be here for the shift.

Since childhood I’ve had visions of living in the woods – hosting others & connecting with the natural world.

As a teenager & young adult I worked at an overnight camp supporting mothers & youth from marginalized populations.

I spent my summers wandering the forest, singing songs around bonfires & witnessing the significant role that nature holds in healing & transformation.

For the first decade of my career I offered traditional psychotherapy in Toronto, deepening my knowledge of trauma, depression & anxiety with an interest in existential & metaphysical concerns.

I started my spiritual path in my early 20’s.

Attending lectures, retreats, reading books & seeking mentorship.

To support my inner world & capacity to hold space, I’ve sought consultation, self-practice & regular psychotherapeutic support.

I’ve learned that self-care & routine allows me to first fill my cup up, & then let it flow over.

In the Spring of ’21 my partner & I made a big move to our acreage property in Northern Ontario.

We spend our days appreciating the forest & envisioning the future of this special space – inviting others to experience the potent & healing energy that it offers.
