Erin Pecknold

BSc, OT Reg (Ont)

Occupational Therapist and Psychotherapist

We’re proud to welcome Erin to the New Mindset Therapy team.

With over 27 years of experience in mental health, Erin is both an Occupational Therapist and Psychotherapist dedicated to supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and Psychology from McGill University and has built her career around helping people find practical, meaningful ways to live with greater independence, balance, and joy.

Erin’s approach begins with the essentials—rest, daily routines, and self-care—and extends to every area of life, from relationships and leisure to work and community connection. With advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for insomnia, the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and Solution-Focused Therapy, she provides evidence-based strategies that foster resilience and wellbeing.

Specializing in geriatrics, Erin brings expertise in dementia care, including communication strategies and managing responsive behaviours. She also supports families and caregivers, helping them navigate the complexities of aging with compassion, clarity, and hope.

Grounded in trauma-informed and inclusive practice, Erin integrates both her professional training and lived experience to create a safe, supportive space. Whether someone is seeking to improve mental health, enhance quality of life, or find guidance through the challenges of caregiving, she offers care that is compassionate, respectful, and tailored to each unique journey.
