Susan Ockrant-Johnston

Life transitions and relationships sit at the heart of Susan Ockrant-Johnston’s practice — the crossroads moments when old patterns stop working and something has to shift. As a Registered Social Worker with eighteen years of experience, she works with individuals and couples navigating everything from workplace burnout and career change to family conflict, infidelity, divorce, and the quiet weight of caring for aging parents.

Susan draws on both professional training and her own lived experience to help clients recognize the strengths they already carry and build practical tools around them. She finds that many people arrive exhausted not just from their circumstances but from never fully stepping away — the habit of staying reachable at all hours leaves the nervous system without a real off-switch, and that chronic activation quietly erodes relationships and resilience alike.

She sees men, women, elderly clients, and individuals with special needs, and her work extends to abuse survivors and those living with anxiety or mood disorders. Susan offers virtual and phone sessions to clients across Ontario, along with in-person eco-therapy — walk-and-talk sessions outdoors — for those nearby in Oakville. A no-cost initial consultation is available.
