From post-secondary life to career and family transitions, Maycee Dias offers counselling in Kitchener to help you navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, and workplace stress while making choices that reflect your values.

You may be balancing post-secondary studies with decisions about your future, adjusting to life after graduation, or managing a changing relationship alongside everything else. Perhaps you are starting a family, moving into a new career, or finding that workplace stress follows you home. Maycee Dias, BSc (Hons), MSW, RSW offers counselling in Kitchener where you can explore these pressures without having to know all the answers first.

As a Registered Social Worker, Maycee brings a warm, collaborative approach to understanding what is happening in your life and what matters most to you. Her particular interests include life transitions, relationship challenges, values alignment, and anxiety. Rather than telling you what your next chapter should look like, she makes room for your uncertainty, your priorities, and your perspective. Together, you can explore what feels difficult and identify steps that fit the life you want to build.

Maycee combines a broad foundation in individual therapy with a particular interest in helping you navigate change.

Maycee Dias, BSc (Hons), MSW, RSW provides individual counselling and psychotherapy across a range of concerns, including stress, identity, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and family or relationship difficulties. Whether you are studying, entering the workforce, or reconsidering an established routine, your experiences do not need to fit neatly into a category to deserve attention.

Her approach as a therapist is trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally responsive. She makes space for how your background, relationships, and circumstances shape your experiences, rather than viewing a challenge in isolation. You remain the expert on your own life. Alongside her broader practice, Maycee is especially interested in helping you navigate transitions, understand relationship patterns, manage anxiety, and clarify the values you want your decisions to reflect.

Therapy with Maycee gives you room to be heard and practical strategies to carry into everyday life.

When you begin counselling with Maycee, the starting point is getting to know you: what has brought you in, how it affects your days, and what you hope might change. You can talk openly without needing to organize your experience into a perfect explanation. Together, you develop a care plan that reflects your goals and leaves room for your needs to evolve.

Maycee draws from Humanistic Therapy, Relational Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Systemic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Rather than expecting you to fit one method, she tailors her approach to support both reflection and practical strategies you can use between sessions.

At CARESPACE Victoria North, Maycee also collaborates with other CARESPACE practitioners when helpful. This coordinated approach allows your counselling to sit within a broader plan for your well-being, while keeping your experiences, preferences, and goals central.

Her education and experience supporting young adults provide a thoughtful foundation for exploring what comes next.

Maycee holds a Master of Social Work from the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus, a Postgraduate Certificate in Addictions and Mental Health from Humber College, and an Honours Bachelor of Science with a double major in Biology and Psychology from the University of Toronto. Her education brings together clinical social work, mental health, and an understanding of human behaviour, supporting care that considers your experiences in context.

She is registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Her background includes individual counselling at CARESPACE and Beyond Happiness Counselling, counselling young adults aged 18–29 at Third Space Charity, and community and recovery support roles.

Across these settings, her work has emphasized emotional safety, collaborative goals, and practical skills. That experience informs therapy where you can explore difficult experiences at your own pace, take an active role in your care, and work toward changes that feel personally meaningful.

Whether you are leaving school, starting a family, or rethinking work and relationships, your next steps can reflect what matters to you.

In addition to her broader counselling practice, Maycee has a particular interest in life transitions and relationship challenges, with values alignment and anxiety woven into that work. The focus is on understanding what you need as your responsibilities, relationships, and sense of self evolve—not deciding what your life should look like for you.

During post-secondary life, you may be balancing academic expectations, independence, friendships, and questions about where you belong. Moving from school into work can bring another adjustment: leaving familiar routines, entering a new environment, or discovering that the path you planned no longer feels right. Maycee offers space to explore those experiences and consider a meaningful next step.

Starting a family or changing careers may also bring questions about your priorities and relationships. In individual therapy, you can reflect on changing roles, expectations, and conversations you are finding difficult. With relationship or workplace stress, that might mean exploring boundaries, communicating your needs, or making room for yourself alongside your responsibilities to others.

Values alignment gives this work a personal direction. You can explore what matters to you, where your choices reflect those values, and where outside expectations are pulling you elsewhere. There is also room to explore anxiety around unfamiliar responsibilities, uncertain outcomes, or decisions without a clear answer. Maycee combines reflection with practical strategies so you can work toward goals such as clearer communication, more intentional decisions, and ways of responding to stress that fit your everyday life.

Away from the therapy room, Maycee enjoys books, travel, and the challenge of learning something new.

In her time outside the therapy room, Maycee enjoys reading, spending time with loved ones, travelling, and discovering new cafés and restaurants. She has also taken up learning Spanish as a way to challenge herself and step outside her comfort zone. She always looks forward to hearing about your favourite books, your travels, and the cafés or restaurants you love returning to.
