I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth.

There can be extremely challenging and stressful times in life that can lead to difficult emotions.

Conflicts in relationships are inevitable! It’s how we adapt & overcome them that makes the difference. These conflicts can be circumstantial or rooted in anxieties from the past and may not look like your typical conflict. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing the same anxious thoughts or maybe you're stuck in the same negative patterns that you can't seem to break as a couple. Interpersonal and internal conflict can leave us feeling stuck, confused, stressed, overwhelmed, or depressed. Most importantly, recognizing that fear is an emotion we all experience and discovering how fear operates for you is okay to explore.

Everyone experiences anxiety, periods of low mood and the sense of feeling stuck. You are not alone! I help you discover what is creating your emotional stress and how to overcome this. I create a warm and nurturing environment that allows you to feel comfortable and express yourself honestly and openly. At this time I will be using an online therapy approach via a secure video link. It's similar to being in the same therapy room, except we're doing it through a screen. This has the advantage of eliminating travel and connecting from the comfort of your own environment.

When it comes to therapy, my philosophy is that the client is at the heart of the process, and I simply have the privilege to walk alongside them in their journey of healing and growth. I work from a client-centered and integrative theoretical frameworks.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you struggling to find motivation to do simple tasks, or the idea of doing ‘all the things’ just increases your stress and anxiety? Perhaps you find yourself needing to distract with substances, social media, or by binge watching your favourite TV show, only to find that these activities are not actually making you feel better in the long run. Maybe you are already wanting to explore the underlying causes of what has gotten you off track but don’t know where to start.

Life is a winding road, and often we can encounter bumps, detours and roadblocks along the way. I am committed to being your supportive passenger along your journey. Using a non-judgemental, client-centred approach, I can work alongside you to help you steer towards the life you want.

To nurture the resilience of families experiencing a crisis, or couples struggling with unhealthy conflict, I draw upon both my clinical training and lived experience. Clients seeking to re-establish a sense of emotional well-being will value my collaborative approach. Compassion and curiosity direct my support of young adults and adolescents (15 or older) with ADHD, whose impulsivity or impaired organizational skills often also burdens them with guilt and low self-esteem. Whether a mood disorder or social anxiety is interfering with enjoying your workplace experiences, together we will develop coping strategies to help you thrive.

Do you ever feel like life shouldn't be this hard? It doesn't have to be! I know that reaching out for help is scary and I also know that an easier, more peaceful life IS possible.

Over my 14 years in practice, I've been lucky enough to have witnessed the happiness that comes from taking that step and I'd love to be able to help you get there too!.

If working through life's challenges feels more overwhelming than staying stuck in your current situation, I would like to have the opportunity to help you navigate your way to a life worth living. Often negative thinking patterns and behaviours can influence our sense of self and impact on our family, work and school life. My goal in art psychotherapy is to assist you in discovering your potential while finding your internal voice. A client centered, anti-oppressive approach provides a safe and confidential environment to explore what matters most to you.

I work with adults and adolescents, specializing in conflict resolution, communication skills, anxiety, panic, depression, motivation, self-esteem, emotion regulation, mood disorders (bipolar disorders), substance abuse/alcoholism, OCD, sleep issues/insomnia, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, return-to-work facilitation, and much more. Our sessions can take place in my office in Burlington or through a secure online platform you can use right in your home (with a reliable internet connection and camera/microphone-equipped device).

I am the owner and operator of Margarita Rabinovich & Associates. I believe that most of us decide to seek help through psychotherapy when we have painful feelings or destructive impulses that cause difficulties in our lives and the lives of others we care for or love. Most individuals are affected by periods of discouragement and hopelessness, feeling disconnected, numb, distressed, unable to function or anxious. You are not alone. Many mental health disorders can be episodic and often is a response to a way of life that does not align with our more profound sense of meaning and authenticity or to unexamined early traumas.
