A message from our Clinic Director
SarahRose Black, PhD, RP, MTA
On behalf of our team, welcome to Whole Note! With over 15 years of experience in inpatient and outpatient care within hospital and hospice settings, I specialize in providing evidence-based, client-centred support for anxiety and mood management, living with chronic or advanced illness, life transitions, as well as grief and bereavement.
My practice is collaborative, values-driven, and strengths-based care, integrating traditional psychotherapy with creative arts approaches to support each person’s well being. I look forward to welcoming you into a safe, caring, and empathic therapeutic space where we can work together toward your unique needs and goals.
