Our Team
My vision was to create a therapeutic clinic that feels like a home, a place you can kick up your feet, relax, and feel safe.
I am a practical therapist who is able to adapt to the needs of individuals and families to support them in their journey to discovering peace of mind.
My training in a variety of evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and play therapies allow me to be flexible in meeting your needs whether you are a child, teen, or adult.
Debbie Baty is a Registered Social Worker, with a Master of Education degree (Counselling). I have over twenty-five years of experience in a variety of areas, such as school, adoption, and child welfare systems. In addition, I have extensive experience treating stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting issues, separation and loss issues, and behaviour and emotional regulation difficulties. I utilize a client-centered and collaborative approach in order to achieve positive results for my clients.
In empowering individuals, children, and families to reach greater self-awareness, I use various approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Mindfulness and the use of play. My genuine, empathic, and open nature sets people at ease. Within this safe space children, adolescents and adults become comfortable to explore issues and begin their journey of healing. My goal: empowered clients leading healthy lives.
I work collaboratively with my clients to assist them in reaching their goals. My integrative approach to therapy draws from cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy skills (DBT), and client-centered approaches. I have experience in treating anxiety (generalized anxiety, phobias, panic), depressed mood, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and stress management.
I attained my Masters in Clinical Psychology and am now completing my PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Manitoba. At Peace of Mind Therapy and Consultation I provide therapy services under the supervision of Dr. Penner Hutton.

I completed a specialized internship/residency at the Marcus Autism Center where I provided behaviour analytic assessment and treatment to children with Autism and other related disorders (feeding disorders, language and learning issues, and clinical diagnostic assessment). I am well-versed in Psychological Assessment including cognitive, adaptive functioning, memory, and diagnostic assessments (e.g., for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learning Disabilities, ADHD). My role at Peace of Mind Therapy and Consultation is to provide high quality Psychological Assessments for children and adults.
I offer Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, trauma, coping with chronic pain, coping with stress, and other difficulties with thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. I value a client centred approach, and will work with you to tailor evidence-based treatments to your individual needs. I believe that the environments that we live and work in, and the people we interact with are important influences on our mental health, and will work with you to create health not only in yourself, but also in your life.
As a clinician, my primary focus is helping you feel better, improve your life, adjust to change and tackle adversity. I draw upon a variety of evidence based treatments in order to tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your unique individual needs: Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Stages of Change, Motivational Interviewing, Exposure of Response Prevention and Mindfulness-based practices. My clinical interests include helping adults cope with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, chronic pain, sleep issues, and chronic health adjustment.
