Who I am
Theresa Robinson, MDiv, BACYC, MPS, RTC
First I want to say welcome. I am honoured that you are here. I love what I do as it is a joy to be a small part of people's journeys. My desire to be a counselling therapist comes from a belief in the individual’s capacity for healing, growth and change. I believe that you have this capacity. However, I believe this healing usually needs to take place in the right environment. This is why my practice is called Greenhouse Counselling. I strive to build safe environments for clients to experience their healing and growth and to flourish into the person they were created to be.
​
In order to reach the place where I can now accompany clients I first graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Care. This degree gave a wonderful foundation in understanding the human person. I then went on to receive a Masters of Divinity in 2009 then a Masters of Psychotherapy and Spirituality (my capstone can be found here). I have over 15 years of ministry experience which includes pastoral counselling and chaplaincy at the University of Alberta since 2015.
​
I am a wife and mother of 5 children. I grew up in Victoria and have lived in Alberta since 2004.
