Breanna Bunnett

Breanna adopts a client-centred, compassionate approach to therapy, prioritizing the unique needs and goals of each individual. She utilizes evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop effective coping skills, challenge maladaptive thought patterns, and cultivate healthier cognitive frameworks. In working with individuals who have experienced trauma or suffer from PTSD, Breanna is skilled in identifying and addressing “”stuck points”” that perpetuate trauma, facilitating a path toward healing and resolution.
Breanna has developed a particular expertise in working with diverse populations, including adults, adolescents, military veterans, first responders, and individuals navigating workplace injury claims through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). Her experience with these groups enables her to provide specialized support for those facing unique stressors and challenges in their personal and professional lives.

Breanna completed her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology at Queen’s University, followed by a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. She is a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Before joining NuVista, Breanna gained valuable experience working in both private practice and government-funded mental health services, where she developed a broad range of clinical skills. Committed to professional growth and best practices, Breanna is currently pursuing advanced education in trauma-informed care and neurofeedback.

Breanna has always been deeply committed to supporting others, with a particular focus on mental health, recognizing its critical role in overall well-being. She is dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals feel comfortable exploring their concerns. Breanna fosters an environment of open communication and empathy, ensuring that each client feels heard and understood. Understanding that therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” process, Breanna tailors each session to meet the unique needs and goals of the individual, utilizing a personalized approach to help clients achieve meaningful growth and healing.

Outside of her professional work, Breanna values quality time with her husband and two young daughters. She has a lifelong passion for competitive hockey, where she plays as a goalie. In addition to hockey, Breanna enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing during the summer months, and camping. She also cherishes spending time with friends and family, nurturing her personal connections and maintaining a well-rounded lifestyle.
