Counseling Services

Meet Shevaungh

Shevaungh Thomas, a Registered Social Worker with over a decade of experience, created Cadeau Counseling as a place of refuge for those navigating pain, uncertainty, and lived experiences. Her work is grounded in extensive training in trauma, grief, somatic therapy, CBT, and DBT, but it is also shaped by her own lived experience.
Having come to Canada from Antigua more than ten years ago, Shevaungh understands firsthand what it’s like to feel displaced, or overwhelmed by change. Through her journey as an immigrant, wife, mother, and woman of faith, she discovered that healing is not only possible, but most powerful when nurtured in community. That truth remains at the heart of her practice today.
She is especially passionate about supporting individuals through reproductive trauma and loss, having walked that road herself. She knows the silence that often surrounds it, and how deeply people suffer in isolation.
Through compassionate presence, Shevaungh creates space for your grief, your fears, your questions, and your hope to coexist. You won’t be rushed, dismissed, or asked to shrink. You’ll be met fully, and walked with , one step at a time.

Our Approach to Healing
Holistic Care
I care for my own body, mind, and spirit through my faith in God, connection with family, movement, breathwork, and community. These practices help me stay grounded and whole. I invite those I work with to care for all parts of themselves-gently and intentionally-as we explore what healing and well-being can look like for them.
Life’s challenges, whether emotional, physical, mental, or spiritual, can interrupt your ability to live fully. That’s why my approach is holistic. Together, we work to bring alignment and harmony back to your whole self, not through quick fixes, but through meaningful therapeutic connection and compassionate support.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT
DBT offers practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and building distress tolerance. It’s especially helpful for those navigating emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, or past trauma.

Holistic Care
Emotional - Mental - Physical - Spiritual
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Our work attends to your full self, body, mind, and spirit, while also honoring the impact of your environment, identity, and life experiences. This approach invites deeper restoration and lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT
CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we gently explore unhelpful patterns and work toward more balanced, supportive ways of thinking and responding to life’s challenges.

Somatic Therapy
Body
Somatic therapy focuses on the body’s wisdom in the healing process. Through breathwork, movement, and body awareness, we support your nervous system and gently release stored stress or trauma.
Who We Work With
At Cadeau Counseling, we walk alongside individuals navigating life’s most tender and complex moments.
Reproductive Trauma & Loss
The path to parenthood isn’t always straightforward. Whether you’re facing infertility, miscarriage, or complicated feelings after reproductive loss, this space is for you. We honor your pain, your questions, and the deep emotions that often go unseen. You don’t have to carry this in silence.
Trauma, Anxiety & Depression
When daily life feels heavy, unpredictable, or emotionally overwhelming, it’s okay to reach for support. You may be carrying unprocessed trauma, persistent worry, low mood, irritability, or deep emotional exhaustion. Whatever you're holding, we create a safe and steady space to explore what’s beneath the surface, and begin moving toward relief, clarity, and resilience.
Life Transitions
Change, even when chosen, can be disorienting. From immigration and identity shifts to becoming a parent, changing careers, or entering new life stages, we support you in grounding yourself amid uncertainty, and finding purpose in the process.
Grief & Bereavement
Loss can leave you feeling like the ground beneath you has shifted. Whether you've lost a loved one, a dream, a version of yourself, or the life you once knew, we help you navigate grief at your own pace, with compassion, presence, and care.
