About Us
Lynn Hiscoe

Lynn Hiscoe

I am a woman, mother, sister, friend, and daughter, and I bring myself fully to this work.

The most important thing you should know about me is that I am extremely relational. I am curious, dedicated, and love getting to know people. It has been a privilege to work with many individuals, colleagues and teams over the years.


I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Registered Social Worker providing support and therapy to individuals, families, professionals, workplaces, and organizations.


I have been a clinical supervisor, manager, and team leader for more than 20 years, supporting clinicians, social workers, educators, workplaces, unions, and paraprofessionals on mental health and complex cases.

My approach is always tailored toward meeting individual needs, and it includes treatment with empirical, evidence-based therapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I have worked primarily with professional adults in education, medical, and community mental health settings.
