Marina
Registered CLINICAL COUNSELlor
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
Hi, I’m Marina. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor, with a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology. My goal as a Counsellor, is to create a safe place where my clients can feel heard, respected and understood.
My approach varies from client to client, as I pull from several different treatment methods to tailor our work to what you need, as an individual. I have training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and work from a trauma informed lens.
I believe that through working together and focusing on your strengths, we can work through whatever it may be that you’re struggling with. Some of my main areas of interest are working with those with anxiety, depression, helping you cope with stress, grief, and working through and processing trauma.
Outside of counselling, I love spending time with my husband and two daughters, along with my parents and brother’s family. We all live within 5 minutes of each other, which can be a wonderful thing. I have what I believe to be is the cutest dog, a mini golden doodle, and enjoy taking him on long walks. I also thoroughly enjoy gardening and trying to keep my plants alive, although I don’t have what you may call a “green thumb”.
I look forward to meeting you!
Marina
