My name is Pinar. I am a registered Provisional 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’m Abbey. My background involves a lifelong interest in psychology and passion for mental health. I received my Master’s in Forensic Psychology and started my autonomous practice in 2020. I worked in corrections for 20 years in various positions including as a psychologist before moving into the world of private practice.

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 Michelle! I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist. I am also an experienced death doula and play therapist. I am trained in a number of modalities, but focus my work in somatic therapy, and EMDR. I use my expertise to provide support to individuals who have experienced trauma or stress, grief or loss, and those undergoing life transitions or dealing with self-identity and esteem issues. I also provide guidance to other professionals in the helping field.

I have a passion for supporting couples, families, and children. I believe relationships are foundational to mental wellbeing. Building a strong support system and overcoming relationship difficulties can be so transformative to our mental health. I specialize in helping couples and families with improving intimacy, connection, trust, communication, and more. I can support you and your loved ones through various stressful or traumatic experiences that may be impacting your relationships. I can also work with individuals one on one to process past experiences of divorce, breakups, betrayal trauma, infidelity, domestic violence, addiction, and more. Please see my additional trainings to learn more about the other approaches I have in my therapy toolbox.

I have had my own experience with relationship difficulties, and I believe you are never too old to prioritize yourself or to pursue your own happiness. I strive to build authentic connections with my clients and to offer a safe environment to do the challenging work of therapy. I am a true believer in self-efficacy, and I am passionate about building on people’s strengths when supporting them through change. I individualize therapy in response to the needs of my clients as the therapeutic process evolves. I am always flexible because I know that as therapy progresses, clients’ needs will vary as they encounter new challenges. I work very collaboratively with my clients and strive to be transparent about my approach to therapy.
