A fierce advocate for families with neurodiverse children, Christine co-founded Evolve Movement, a collective of conscious professionals from across North America in service to families of children with a neurodiversity. She and her team have a vision for a new model of care that is centered on possibilities and knowing our children, rather than on limitations and outdated belief systems. Her work is bringing to life an alternative model of care that Christine and her colleagues call an integrative, conscious and holistic whole family healing approach.

Because of her own experience as a mom to a daughter with Rett Syndrome, Christine is passionate about using education to empower families like hers. As a pediatric Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® practitioner, Christine sees perfection in every child she meets. And she wants every parent to receive support to gain deeper self-understanding and expand their mindset so they can foster the healthy development of their children.

Emily Locke, MSW, RSW Social Worker, Psychotherapist Social work clinical lead

Emily Locke is a Registered Social Worker. She is a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and of the Ontario Association of Social Workers. Emily received her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Carleton University in 2012. Prior to obtaining her MSW, Emily received a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) from Carleton University in 2011.

Emily has been working with humans of all ages for over a decade. She trained at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario on the Outpatient Mood and Anxiety team and carried on supporting at CHEO on the Dialectical Behaviour Therapy team, providing direct service in the youth skills group. Emily worked at Crossroads Children’s Mental Health Centre as a Child and Family Therapist before joining the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) in 2013. Emily recently returned to her deep clinical roots by rejoining CHEO in outpatient mental health, with a focus on providing services to those who have experienced abuse and trauma in their lives. Emily is excited to offer services across the life-span in this practice.

Emily uses a compassionate, holistic, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, client-centered approach. She maintains a system’s perspective while using an integrative model to tailor treatment to meet the individual needs of each individual and/or family. She has been trained in and regularly uses a variety of approaches, such as Attachment Theory, Collaborative Problem Solving, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy strategies, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Skills, and Internal Family Systems therapy. Emily encourages the use of mindfulness and meditation in ways that are accessible across developmental stages. Emily’s private practice work includes supporting adults and other therapists.

Finally, Emily’s practice is rooted in an understanding of how trauma impacts the mind, body and brain and draws on polyvagal theory to inform treatment. As such, Emily currently focuses on integrating trauma-based interventions including Brainspotting Therapy and Emotion Freedom Technique with more traditional talk therapies.

Emily is committed to lifelong learning and is passionate about new approaches to treatment. She continually deepens her understanding of modalities or theories that she has learned as she seeks to provide the most relevant and current information available to clients.
