Anastasiia Puzyrina
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MA
Vaughan, ON L4K
Accepting New Clients. Most people arrive believing something in them (or between them) is broken. Usually it isn’t. What has broken down is a way of relating that worked for years and has stopped working now. I work with couples, families, and individuals facing recurring conflict, emotional distance, or a decision that cannot be made. I also work with anxiety, burnout, grief, and periods when a person’s usual way of living has stopped working.

You grew up in a house where two worlds lived under one roof, and you learned early how to move between them. You translated for your parents, kept the peace at family gatherings, and figured out on your own what nobody had the words to explain. Now you are an adult, maybe still living at home, maybe in a relationship where your partner gets some of it but not all of it, and the weight of holding it all is starting to show. I offer therapy in English, Tamil, and French, so some things do not have to be translated at all.

Many people experiencing narcissistic abuse don’t recognize it at first; they just know something doesn’t feel right. You may feel emotionally drained, confused, or disconnected from who you once were. If a partner or parent has left you questioning your reality, walking on eggshells, or constantly putting others’ needs ahead of your own, it’s common to feel isolated, stuck, or even ashamed. Whether you’re still in that dynamic or working through the effects of past emotional abuse, anxiety, depression, or trauma, know this: you are not weak, and you are not alone. With the right support, healing is possible.

Trauma can profoundly alter how we view ourselves, others, and the world. You might feel guilty, ashamed or overwhelmed thinking of your past experiences. It’s common to find it hard to trust others and to feel anxious about the safety of the world around you. You may be grappling with your identity, feeling disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by emotions. Despite the challenges you encounter, my goal is to ensure you feel not only supported but truly understood, acknowledged, and empowered.

What if the shame and guilt you carry about your own existence were never yours to hold? You may understand why you react the way you do, yet still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful relationship patterns. Past experiences can continue to affect trust, self-worth, grief, and emotional safety long after the events themselves have ended. I work with adults experiencing attachment wounds, childhood trauma, ADHD, and complicated grief. I help adults and couples slow down, feel safe, understand their patterns, and build healthier relationships through trauma-informed therapy in-person in Vaughan and Online.

Registered Psychotherapist, PhD
Vaughan, ON L4K
Do you feel like you are constantly on high alert, waiting for the other shoe to drop? When you have experienced trauma, your brain and body can get trapped in survival mode long after the danger has passed. You might be struggling with racing thoughts, sudden bursts of anxiety, emotional exhaustion, or feeling completely disconnected from the people you love. Living this way is exhausting, but you do not have to carry the weight of your past alone.

My ideal clients are people who appear to be functioning well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally strained on the inside. They may struggle with anxiety, anger, intrusive thoughts, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns that feel hard to change. Often thoughtful and self-aware, they want more than quick coping strategies. They are looking for a safe, nonjudgmental space to better understand themselves, develop emotional flexibility, and respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
