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

During high school, I discovered a profound interest in physical health, which led me to work as a receptionist in various healthcare settings. However, as I progressed, I realized that my true passion lies in mental health.

This realization inspired me to pursue an undergraduate degree in psychology. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology at York University, with a keen interest in developmental and clinical psychology. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a profound passion in understanding human trauma and helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges. This is demonstrated through my current volunteer position in Humber River Health’s Mental Health Unit and past experience mentoring students.

In the future, I aspire to further my education by pursuing a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology or a Master of Arts in Psychotherapy. My ultimate goal is to become a registered psychotherapist, specializing in trauma-relevant therapy. I am committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those who have experienced trauma, providing them with the support and strategies they need to heal and thrive.

I speak both English and French, and my certifications in WHMIS Safety, CPR & AED, and Worker Health and Safety Awareness reflect my dedication to maintaining a safe and supportive environment. I am eager to apply my knowledge in psychology to make a meaningful difference.
