We take a client-centred, relational, and evidence-based approach
Karina Waluk, RPQ
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and client-centred. I strive to provide open, empathic and non-judgemental support using techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Gestalt, and mindfulness-meditation based therapies. During therapy we will explore emotions, thoughts, behaviours, patterns and the relationships in your life, with the intention of providing you with tools to better understand yourself and make meaningful changes in your life. My practice is centred around authenticity, curiosity, meaning-making, as well as playfulness and joy.
I have experience working with adults on topics relating to stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma, infertility, chronic pain, self-esteem, emotional regulation, relationships, and life transitions.
Aliya Amarshi, RPQ
My approach to therapy is warm, attentive, embodied, and supportive. Whether you are coming in with a specific challenge or are looking for overall support, I aim to provide a safe container to bring clarity, perspective, and relief. I have experience working with a number of issues, including: anxiety, depression, struggles in relationships (romantic, familial, friendships, and in the workplace), life transitions, low self-esteem, racial and immigrant identity, building better coping strategies, and healing events from the past. I will offer insights, observations, and gentle challenges when you need them. I believe that therapy should be inclusive and anti-oppressive, and I strive to embody these qualities. I welcome you to email me for a free phone consultation to see if we might be a good fit.
