Di-Anne Martin (she/her)
Registered Social Worker
I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW). I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Renison University College and a Master of Social Work (Honours) from Wilfrid Laurier University.
I am a natural helper who is passionate about supporting and empowering others. Before beginning my career in social work, I spent many years as a full-time foster and adoptive parent to five children with special needs. This experience continues to shape my practice, grounding it in compassion, resilience, and a deep understanding of the challenges families and individuals face.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strength-based, inclusive, and trauma-informed. I work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families, tailoring each session to meet unique needs and goals. I am especially passionate about supporting and empowering women, helping them navigate life transitions, strengthen self-esteem, and foster resilience. In my work with couples, I help partners improve communication, deepen connection, and manage conflict in ways that build trust and intimacy. I also have a particular passion for working with seniors facing age-related challenges and with neurodivergent individuals, creating safe, affirming spaces where unique perspectives and strengths are honoured. As an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, I am committed to ensuring that clients of all identities and backgrounds feel welcomed, respected, and supported.
I believe that we are all the experts of our own lives and that each of us has the capacity to grow and heal. My role is to help clients recognize their inner strengths, build confidence, and develop the courage needed to move forward. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment where people feel seen, valued, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey.
Outside of work, I value a healthy and active lifestyle. I enjoy going to the gym, spending time in nature, traveling, exploring different cultures, and sharing time with my children, grandchildren, and two dogs.
