Therapists in V6A

Taran is a Self-Love/Worth Mentor & Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) living out her mission and purpose to support thousands of WOC (Women of Color) to release crippling self-doubt, increase their self-worth, and manifest their dream life.

I am an unconventional therapist who ecourgaes her clients to talk to trees and prescribes nature walks and ceremonies in the woods. My therapeutic work is a unique combination of western therapeutic approaches, research based neuroscience infused therapy, wisdom from my Siberian ancestors who practiced Shamanism and ancient Slavic healing modalities, and intuitive healing... but most days I will just say that I am someone who doesn’t take herself too seriously and is deeply in love with the earth.

I specialize in relationship counselling for individuals and couples. Although you may feel stuck, there are conversations and skills that can take you a step towards intimacy and connection. I help you build a fulfilling bond by identifying relationship patterns, developing healthier interactions, and increasing your understanding of yourself and your partner.

I believe healing is a collaborative venture; you can expect to find in me a therapist that is compassionate, non-judgmental and transparent. My approach is one that uses curiosity to explore, understand and appreciate you wholly - your unique story. Together in this therapeutic exploration, we will exchange the roles of learner and expert to better understand and appreciate one another. Stories are ways in which we explain and understand our past and our present experiences. The stories uncover our beliefs and values, they help to shape and influence our lives. Most importantly, they play a crucial part in our developing future.

After developing a healthcare sidekick app “Medical & Motivation” I realized I could continue helping others advocate for themselves and became a Registered Social Worker. I stepped outside my comfort zone to grow as a counsellor, getting into crisis counselling during a global pandemic (you know the one I'm talking about), learning how to better support clients through a wide range of issues from loneliness to suicidal ideation and essentially everything in between. I also continue to focus on supporting families learning to support their children with chronic health conditions.

At Nirivia Counselling our goal is to help people develop a greater understanding of their issues and increase positive supports to create change. We have a deep respect for our clients and the therapeutic relationship, we work collaboratively through both talk and arts-based creative techniques to create insight and promote healing.

I am a traditional healer and registered therapeutic counsellor. I come from an ancestral line of powerful medicine women and men. I have over 10 years experience working with women and girls that have experienced complex trauma, violence and abuse. The most impactful role was as a statement gatherer with the National Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls where I held space for the sacred grief and stories of survivors and family members. I work with people who deeply desire to unapologetically love and trust themselves and their bodies to create the lives, relationships and sexual liberation they truly want!

My office is an all inclusive and safe space for my clients and I care for the well being of all my clients using a collaborative and strength based approach. I often use a variety of approaches including ACT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, and Play Therapy. In addition to working with children and youth, I also work vastly along with LGBTQ+, young adults, and adults whom present concerns of anxiety, depression, trauma, amid others.

Imagine what it would be like to be open & present to each moment. As a trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor & mindfulness educator with experience in a variety of modalities such as Mindfulness-based skills and Somatic Experiencing®, our work together can be from a holistic perspective to help you embody the qualities and values you wish to embody. In your sessions we will work collaboratively as you explore your inner world and interpersonal dynamics to help you connect with you! I am currently accepting new clients.

In psychotherapy, we work through our unique stories and struggles, build emotional resilience, and develop greater insight into our selves. Working with a psychotherapist allows us to safely reckon with our destructive patterns, and to begin to weave new patterns that better support us. We deepen our awareness of our inner worlds, and in the process, we transform our relationships with ourselves and with each other.

Do you find yourself triggered easily and struggle with strong emotions? Are you finding it challenging to balance your emotional well-being and the demands of family and work life? For the last 10 years I have specialized in working with people who have experienced trauma, substance use, and a variety of mental health struggles. Embarking on counselling together can help you grow in your understanding of emotions and to work towards building good relationships, and a sense of purpose and joy in your life.

As LGBTQIA2S+ folks, we are often navigating oppressive and harmful environments. We are often taught (implicitly or explicitly) that parts of us are not okay. I believe that through counselling, we can bravely choose to engage differently with ourselves and with each other. We can reclaim our right to feel compassion for all of our parts, even the parts that we’ve been told to squish, get rid of, silence, or hate. When we do this, we create magic-- and we invite new possibilities for connection. I’m a Registered Social Worker, and I provide counselling from trauma-informed, collaborative, and anti-oppressive approaches.

Many of my clients appear to "have it all together" on the surface, but underneath may be struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, stress, burnout, or relationship distress. Others may also be coping with the impacts of trauma, grief, loss, and family conflict endured across the lifespan.

I am passionate about working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties and/or overcoming trauma. My clients often describe themselves as feeling “stuck” or “unmotivated”. Sometimes it feels as though you are hitting a roadblock, and unsure how to move forward. I will help you explore your feelings and unpack the challenges you face. With goal setting, and developing skills, you will find yourself beginning to live a more engaged, and healthy life.

Your symptoms are purpose-driven - and by leaning into your your mind, body and soul, relational and work challenges, you can live into a deeper, more genuine life.
