Connect with Sabrina Popernitsch

My work is rooted in holding space for healing that is whole-person, heart-led, and grounded in compassion. I believe that therapy is a collaborative relationship—one where you are met with curiosity, not judgment, and where your truth is honoured without condition. Together, we create a space where you can feel seen, supported, and safely connected to your own wisdom. I draw from an integrative, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and harm-reduction approach, blending evidence-based practices with a deep respect for individual intuition.

I have a Master’s in counselling psychology, as well as a bachelors in grief, bereavement, trauma and loss studies. I have learned and lived experience in the mental health field, as well as in education. I have experience with/special interests in OCD, trauma, identity work, and neurodivergence (ASD/ADHD).

Healing isn’t just about learning something new—it’s about coming home to yourself. It’s a process of remembering what has always been within you: your resilience, your intuition, your voice. I see therapy as a collaborative and intentional space where we can explore what feels heavy, what’s been silenced, and what’s still unfolding.
