Uneori vă găsiți într-o situație copleșitoare care vă diminuează capacitatea de a funcționa sau de a vă simți bine. Acest lucru poate fi un indiciu că trebuie să vă concentrați asupra bunăstării Dvs, să cultivați noi abilități pentru a gestiona emoțiile, a lua decizii și a rezolva mai eficient problemele vieții. Consilierea vă poate ajuta să atingeți aceste obiective fascinante prin autocompasiune sporită, alfabetizare emoțională, obiectivitate mai mare și cultivarea comunicării non-violente. Abordarea mea se bazează pe cele mai recente cercetări în psihoterapie pozitivă aplicată și alte terapii moderne.

At any age, we can grow and we can heal, no matter what issues we face.

I am passionate about helping people find their authentic selves, to live fuller, more meaningful and flourishing lives- the lives they were born to live. Fostered and continually growing through my own introspective explorations, I help clients of most issues and needs examine their lives with a mindful awareness of their outlived tendencies. I help clients strengthen their emotional intelligence to understand themselves and others better and perceive why we do what we do; and I invite clients toward a disposition of openness and intrigue needed for eliciting empowering change.

Hi, I'm OIga. I am so glad that you are here! I know that parenting can be really tough, and sometimes our little ones have some big experiences that lead them (and you!) to worry and feel overwhelmed. I can walk alongside you, and make the road ahead feel a little bit lighter. Using art therapy and play, I support children, youth (ages 5-17) and their caregivers from a person-centred, attachment-based, and trauma-sensitive lens. I also provide Clinical Supervision to Art Therapists, Psychotherapists and Counselling Therapists across Canada (CRPO, CCC, CATA, ACTA).

My aim is to help people recognize their inner strength. I am quite passionate about working with folks who feel trapped in a pattern of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that can often dictate their view of themselves and the world. My practice is cognitive behavioural focused; however, I also have experience incorporating evidence based approaches such as mindfulness, dialectical behaviour therapy, motivational interviewing and solution focused brief therapy techniques. Treatment will be tailored specifically to each person’s needs and goals. Grenadier's practice is LGBTQ positive, trauma-informed, and weight inclusive.

If you are experiencing struggles and seeking support, you are not alone. Loss, trauma, conflict, life changes, emotional and mental suffering do not discriminate. Any one of us can go through periods full of difficulties - some more than others, but every person has personal knowledge of suffering in their lives. Therapy is not easy and there is no quick fix, but I am here to work with you, hear and understand you, and support your self-discovery process. I want to learn about your story, path and beliefs, and together with you identify areas where you have strengths and areas where you need to explore and try new ways of being.

I believe that every client has the ability and the desire to reach their potential through personal growth and change. I focus on the unique nature of each client, and I consider them as the expert of their own experience. I view my role as providing clients with empathy and support. I emphasize genuineness and being led by the client, using a team approach. I regard us as equal partners, rather than viewing myself as an expert therapist and the client as being helpless.

At Allura, we know and understand that sexuality is one of the most fun but complicated parts of humanity, while also one of the hardest to find a safe and non-judgmental space to speak openly about. Do you feel overwhelmed when you think about your sexuality, sex life, or relationship? Do you wish for more connection and excitement with your partner? Do you sometimes feel stress or anxiety fill your life? We can help with that. Our clients are professionals, parents, sometimes monogamous and sometimes polyamorous, LGBTQ+ - but they all share one thing in common: they are struggling with their sexuality in some way.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or province where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
How much does therapy cost?
Some forms of mental health treatment (for example, seeing a psychiatrist, or seeing a psychologist in a government-funded hospital) are free under provincial health plans. Canadians who seek private counseling can typically expect to pay an average of $150 per session, although the actual price generally ranges between $100 and $3200 per session, depending on their location and the type of provider they select. Workplace benefits or private insurance plans often provide an annual counselling allowance, and some therapists offer sliding scale fees to clients who cannot pay full price.
