I have completed 750 hours of supervised training in psychotherapy and continue to be supervised by a clinical psychologist. I also possess additional specialty training in CBT, DBT and IPT and have been specializing in mood and anxiety disorders. Payment Methods Private_Pay ~ Most Private_Insurance Languages Spoken English ~ Russian Description Of Practice I began working in the mental health care field 16 years ago. During those years I worked in a variety of mental health care settings and was exposed to a diversity of clients suffering from different mental health conditions, belonging to different cultures and who represented a broad scope of points of view on human behaviour and its meaning. Through those years I observed and wondered why some people get destroyed by suffering and emotional pain, while others not only doesn’t get destroyed, but they seem to become even stronger. These resilient individuals seemed to continuously grow just by going through those experiences. I began pondering many questions on how different people overcome life adversities, and which factors help them to facilitate healing. My approach to psychotherapy is “eclectic”. This approach recognizes that no single type of psychotherapy is comprehensive enough to address the complexities and predicaments of human existence. As a therapist, I strive to integrate different counselling theories and therapeutic interventions. I believe that different people, at different life stages, and facing various challenges, can be helped by different approaches to psychotherapy. At different times, with various clients, I might draw my approaches from any of the following schools of psychotherapy: Cognitive-Behavioural (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioural (DBT), Interpersonal (IPT), Solution-Focused, Gestalt, Narrative or Existential. Additional Information I am experienced at working with a range of issues such as * Anxiety * Depression * Loss and bereavement * Relationship difficulties * Psychological impacts of immigration and readjustment * Child-Parent conflict in the families of the first generation immigrants and issues of acculturation * Workplace stress and burnout * Trauma counselling and the desire to come to terms with sexual, physical and emotional abuse. * Couples counselling * LGBTQ issues and explorations in sexuality * ADHD * Borderline Personality Disorder * Aging with grace and dealing with frailty * Dealing with chronic illness
