Amy Battistone, RSW. Online CBT & HRT Therapist in Ontario

Amy Battistone, RSW, MSW, is a Registered Social Worker and CBT therapist based in Paris, Ontario — just minutes from Brantford. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Lakehead University. She brings over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults across Ontario.

Amy works with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, tics, Tourette's Syndrome, skin picking, and hair pulling. She uses evidence-based therapies including CBT, ERP, CBIT, and Habit Reversal Training (HRT). These are treatments backed by research — not guesswork.

She has a special passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals and 2SLGBTQ+ folks. She creates a space where you can show up exactly as you are.

Amy sees the brain as a muscle. With the right tools and practice, you can build real mental strength. She works with you one step at a time — at a pace that feels right.

Her clients describe her as kind, warm, and easy to talk to. Her favourite part of the work? Helping people get to a place where life feels good again.

Outside of the therapy room, Amy spends time with her family, friends, and pets. You'll find her outdoors, enjoying the simple things.
