Our Team
Dana Bulic, MSc, RSW, RP
I work with individuals and couples who are seeking support in navigating the challenges of trauma, attachment injuries, personality disorders, and self-esteem. For individuals, I provide a compassionate space to process past experiences and explore patterns that may feel limiting. For couples, I support healing from attachment wounds and relational ruptures, helping partners reconnect and strengthen their bonds.
My approach is deeply person-centered: I believe therapy should feel like a safe, collaborative conversation tailored to your unique journey. Together, we’ll explore which therapeutic approach best supports your goals, allowing you to lead the way while I walk alongside you in creating positive, lasting change.
Drawing from a range of modalities—including Schema Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and somatic approaches—I am committed to ensuring that our work is not only effective but also affirming and supportive. My goal is to create an environment where you feel valued, understood, and encouraged every step of the way.
In addition to my work with clients, I also provide supervision and guidance to students, supporting their growth and development as compassionate and skilled practitioners.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to the possibility of working together.

I am a compassionate psychotherapist specializing in trauma, committed to guiding individuals on their journey to healing and self-discovery. This enables my clients to foster stronger attachments and build healthier relationships. Through experiential work, I empower individuals to learn new patterns that improve interpersonal connections and provide relief from anxiety and depression.

I believe in fostering warm and authentic relationships with my clients, providing a safe and compassionate space for them to explore their experiences.
I also provide supervision for other therapists, valuing the growth and development of students. I am dedicated to helping them develop their skills and enhance their practice, fostering an environment where they can thrive and succeed in their professional journeys.

“I believe that empathy goes a long way. In addition to that, I believe that collaboration is not only integral in constructing relationships, but also in creating a tailored approach for each client. Therefore, I employ techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), person-centered therapy, and narrative therapy. Whether you are a person of colour, part of the LGBTQIA+ community, or otherwise, I welcome all.
Although I had an undergraduate degree in psychology, neuroscience, and behaviour from McMaster University, I spent a number of years in a corporate, sales-oriented environment. During this time and through the interactions I encountered, I realized my passion still lies in promoting the importance of mental health and the wellness of human beings.
I offer in-person therapy for clients located in Waterloo, please email me if you are interested.”

As a parent, seeing your child struggle can be one of the most heart-wrenching experiences. Whether it’s anxiety, big emotions, tough transitions, or difficulties at school, you want to help—but sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. That’s where I come in.
Hi there! I’m Abbie, a licensed Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a passion for helping children grow, heal, and thrive. My approach is rooted in empathy, connection, and creativity. Whether it’s through play therapy, cognitive-behavioural strategies, schema techniques, or simply creating a safe space to talk, I tailor each session to meet your child where they are developmentally and emotionally. I work closely with parents and caregivers to ensure that healing extends beyond the therapy room and into everyday life.
I help children facing anxiety, depression, behavioural concerns, trauma, ADHD, and more. But most importantly, I believe in your child’s resilience and capacity for change—and I’m here to support that journey every step of the way.
Let’s work together to help your child feel seen, heard, and supported.

Have you ever felt stuck in life? Are you at a crossroads or unsure how to take the next step? Are you seeking a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and life experiences?
I’ve been there too. That’s why I am passionate about supporting you through your life transitions, relationship struggles, and big questions. My life experiences have shaped my therapeutic practice: taking a client-centered approach and incorporating Mindfulness, Somatic Therapies, Solution-focused therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have training and professional experience helping people explore existential questions and spiritual trauma.
I worked for over 20 years on university and college campuses in Canada and internationally. Having lived and worked in Latin America, Asia, and Europe, I enjoy exploring various cultures. I speak French and Spanish fluently, and some German. I also started practicing yoga as a teenager, and what began as a hobby has become a transformative force in my life. I’ve maintained my personal practice while teaching at various local studios since completing my comprehensive yoga teaching certification through Power Yoga Canada.

If you’re finding it hard to connect with others, feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns, or overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or sadness, you’re not alone. Many of the struggles we face are not flaws or signs of failure. They are often adaptations to past experiences where emotional needs, like being comforted, feeling safe, accepted, or truly heard, weren’t fully met.
I work with adults navigating relationship challenges, low mood, overthinking, uncertainty about themselves, or difficulties with focus and restlessness. These experiences can be influenced by many factors, such as ADHD, burnout, identity-related stress, or difficult past experiences. You might notice patterns like shutting down, feeling easily overwhelmed, or being misunderstood in your closest relationships. These are often protective responses that once helped you cope, but are now getting in the way of the life and relationships you want.
My approach is grounded in a trauma-informed lens and an understanding that mental health is shaped by many layers—our biology, environment, culture, and early relationships. I also pay close attention to how the nervous system responds to stress and safety, helping you make sense of your emotional reactions with more compassion and less shame.
Clients often share that they feel relieved when their struggles finally start to make sense. I walk alongside you with warmth and respect as we explore your experiences with curiosity, not judgment. My hope is to help you reconnect with parts of yourself that feel lost, hurt, or misunderstood. Together, we’ll build healthier emotional responses, uncover strengths buried beneath survival patterns, and move toward a life and relationships that feel more secure, fulfilling, and aligned with who you are.
