Brittany Vincze, B.A/BSW, MSW, RSW

I am a Registered Social Worker who practices counselling and psychotherapy in Hamilton, ON. I have been in the field for over 12 years and practicing counselling and psychotherapy specifically for about 6 years. My road to being a Masters level clinician was a long one that has gifted me with extensive experience with various populations and issues. I very much come from a "social work" perspective to therapy and understand that an individual's experience is shaped by their social environment as well as their personal thoughts, feelings and behaviours. 

​

I have experience working with children, youth, and adults and have worked with individuals from all walks of life. I am currently seeing mostly youth and adults and I do not provide play or art based therapy at this time. I have a special interest in supporting Indigenous people. I have Indigenous ancestry (Haudenosaunee, Cayuga) and have dedicated much of my career to working with Indigenous communities.  I am happy to be a NIHB provider for Indigenous clients with status. Please see my benefits and rates page for more information on how your services can be covered.
