Meet the Team
Amber Raymond
- Owner/Operator (BA) French Language, BSW, MSW, RSW
I was born in the small town of Mcgregor, Ontario and grew up in a family that emphasized the importance of helping those in need, learning to recognize those struggling and do what it takes to help. I left my hometown to take on the big imperfect world and pursue an education that would prepare me for a life of helping others overcome adversity and mental health struggles.
I obtained my Bachelor of Social Work Degree in the Spring of 2020 and my Masters in Social Work in spring 2021 from the University of Windsor. During my psychology education, I participated in research, and instantly discovered my love for evidence based approaches, writing and sharing knowledge with others. Thanks to personal and professional experiences I now long to work with parents, children and youth to guide them in reaching optimal holistic health.
I am a loving and committed mother, partner, and friend. I am an advocate for non-conventional, evidence-based coping strategies. I believe in the power of self-care practices, self-exploration, and self-love. I am a bilingual registered master's level social worker with certifications in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, DBT, EFT and more. I am happy to offer services to all populations and specialize in childhood struggles, relationship issues, life transitions, coping with grief, and personal development.

- Creative director, EA, ABS
I was born and raised in the small town of Woodslee, where I grew up with three younger siblings. Being the firstborn, I learned how to care for children at a young age. I love working with kids of all ages and with various abilities. I completed my Educational Assistant diploma at St Clair College in 2018 and my Autism and Behavioral Science certificate in 2019. My passion for working with children shines as I positively impact the students that I work with every day at Pavillon des Jeunes French Catholic grade school in Belle River.
I am a compassionate and patient mother to my young son. I am an advocate for speaking up on behalf of children who can’t do it for themselves and using my skills to show them how special they are. I specialize in disabilities including autism, down syndrome and developmental disabilities. I strive to help children find their true potential and overcome personal challenges.
I look forward to working with your children in the future!
Current Projects
MESSS Makers is a summer day program offered Monday to Friday during July & August. It is designed to help children between the ages of 4-10 develop emotional intelligence skills through the use of play and art therapy-based approaches.
I am working closely with some brilliant woman to offer you a series of children's books designed to teach kids various techniques for overcoming general anxieties. Stay tuned because this series is going to be incredible!
As a Masters level Social Worker, Amber is qualified to offer 1:1 counselling sessions. She utilizes many therapeutic approaches, and is particularly interested in practical techniques that can be used at home.
