My name is Pinar. I am a Registered Psychologist and I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I am currently offering my psychological services with Choice Point. I have provided psychotherapy for 10 years in different settings including non-profit organizations, a University psychological clinic, and private practice.

My primary therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) but I also integrate other therapeutic models including prolonged exposure therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I tailor your treatment plan to your unique needs. I provide one on one treatment for adults and adolescents and my priority has always been to build a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe trust is important for us to build in order to go through the exploration process about your difficulties, as well as your strengths. I seek to understand your worldview and your values from a non-judgmental stance. For me, our collaboration and trust are the crucial part of finding your inner self and your needs. I am also able to provide psychotherapy in the Turkish language. During my graduate training, I focused my research on post-traumatic growth among motor-vehicle accident survivors.

I truly believe that our body and minds are built to heal themselves however; our experiences, perceptions and habits can get in our way of a fuller, richer life. I have encountered times of turmoil, confusion and pain and know the impact that these, and other emotions and experiences have had on my life and relationships.

Through my ongoing journey, I have found evidence-based approaches that were of such great benefit, that I became certified in them so that I could bring awareness to and help others. What I have undergone and witnessed, is that you can feel whole again and I would be pleased to assist you in regaining yourself.

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who struggle with a variety of concerns and presenting issues. I utilize various therapeutic approaches in an effort to provide the most effective and efficient service to help my clients to reach their therapy goals.

I provide a client centred, trauma informed and non-judgemental approach when supporting individuals in their emotional recovery and reaching their full potential. I acknowledge that vulnerability is a big factor in therapy and therefore meet people where they are at with respect, compassion and empathy. It would be my pleasure to support you through your journey in feeling whole again.

My name is Stephanie! My background is in Human Resources, consulting, and coaching. I recently pursued a Master’s of Counselling Psychology as I love to help people and I am passionate about helping folks to make meaningful change in their lives. I have 10 years experience in the human services field. I have been in private practice now for two years.

Using a focused approach, I want to help you make strides in the life areas that matter most. Stressors are a part of life, but it is how we perceive stress and handle it that can make the difference between surviving or thriving. I have helped folks drop the struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people pleasing, self-criticism, and other challenges.

Together, we can help you to overcome generational patterns, childhood pain, and day-to-day stressors including work and relationship challenges. I can support you in developing greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and practical tools to navigate complex emotions in a stress-filled world. We will make good use of our time together in session to free up the time you have outside of session to actually live.
