Hello, my name is Brianna Blake. Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about me!

I am the Senior Social Media Coordinator here at One Peace Therapy, and a psychology graduate with a strong interest in mental health, trauma, and client-centred care. My early experiences working in healthcare settings sparked a broader curiosity about well-being, which eventually led me to pursue psychology and shift my focus toward mental health support.

I completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology at York University, where I developed a particular interest in culturally-competent, trauma-informed counselling psychology. Throughout my academic and volunteer experiences, I have grown deeply interested in understanding trauma and supporting individuals as they navigate complex emotional and psychological challenges. This commitment is reflected in my volunteer work within Humber River Health’s Mental Health Unit, the Catholic Family Services of Toronto, as well as my past experience in mentoring students.

I aspire to continue my professional journey by pursuing a master’s degree in psychotherapy in the near future, with the goal of becoming a registered psychotherapist. I am especially drawn to BIPOC and trauma-relevant approaches that prioritize safety, empathy, and empowerment. This alignment is a big part of why I love being at One Peace Therapy, where these values are not only discussed but actively practiced.

I am fluent in both English and French and hold certifications in Psychological First Aid, WHMIS Safety, CPR & AED, and Worker Health & Safety Awareness, among others. In my role as Senior Social Media Coordinator, I enjoy using my background in psychology to help shape trauma-informed, culturally responsive content that supports community connection and holistic wellness awareness.
