Annette Poizner, MSW, Ed.D., Registered Social Work
For residents of Ontario, Canada only
Is there an infrastructure of self that each person can tweak to enhance function and mental wellness?
I'm a social worker, having completed graduate social work training at Columbia University of New York, followed by a Doctorate in Education (University of Toronto) specializing in Counselling Psychology. I'm a Registered Social Worker in the province of Ontario, and within that license, practice psychotherapy.
I've been in private practice for 20+ years, working with OCD, and difficult to treat conditions. I have had success with some difficult-to-treat conditions (though I don't have experience working with substance abuse or those with Borderline Personality Disorder).
I co-founded the Milton H. Erickson Institute of Toronto with two colleagues. I have advanced training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Processing), Ericksonian therapy and hypnosis.
My work has been featured in dailies and trade magazines across North America. I have presented widely in academic and clinical circles. I'm a published author.
I'm a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals and the Canadian Association of Spiritual Care.
