Irene Salidis, Bachelor in Oral Dentistry, M.A. in Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist, Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)

*Serving Clients in Ontario*

Navigating the journey of self-discovery is both profound and challenging. In your most formative years, as you shape your identity and find your voice, the process can feel overwhelming, especially if you've faced difficult life events or a whirlwind of emotions.

What you need is a nurturing space where you can explore these experiences, ask questions, and find clarity. A supportive environment that allows for genuine expression and understanding can make all the difference in helping you find your path and align your personal needs with everyday life.

Sometimes, when overwhelming emotions and thoughts cloud our minds, we might not have all the resources we need within ourselves. Finding a place where you can talk openly and explore these feelings can be crucial in navigating through such challenging times.

Drawing on both my professional training as well as my personal experiences, I am here to offer you practical coping mechanisms and relief. Together, we'll navigate your journey, make sense of your emotions, and develop a personalized plan to help you move toward a happier and healthier you. I'll be right by your side, supporting and guiding you every step of the way.
