My style is warm yet straightforward and practical. Together, we will build a relationship based on trust and collaboration. In therapy, we will work in a partnership to create a plan with realistic and measurable goals. I will meet you where you are while also pushing you to make changes for the real world. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and have specialized training in trauma-focused therapies including Cognitive Processing Therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/27c2442c-adf5-4c8f-bef2-72f12dfaa2a4/Tina+Dadgostari Dr. Tina Dadgostari - Unapologetically authentic It is important to me that I provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you do not feel ashamed to be open and unapologetically authentic. I invite you to communicate however it feels natural to you. You are free to swear and use humour, and I will often do the same. I believe that your progress in therapy is directly related to our therapeutic relationship. Unlike other relationships in your life, you will be the main focus in ours. I respect and value your autonomy and resilience as an individual. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/102eac21-9ef5-4db4-b205-23ce345330a5/DSC01847.jpg Dr. Tina Dadgostari - Here to help My approach to working with you is holistic, interpersonal, and strengths-based. I work with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder using evidence-based strategies. As a first generation Canadian, I appreciate diversity and I work towards providing culturally sensitive and anti-oppressive assessment and treatment. I have a background supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, including working with first responders. I also often work within the intersection of psychology and the law. I’m here to help. https://thethoughtcentre.ca/dr-rebecca-fraccaro daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/f5a84f49-f7f6-4f1e-89ee-87f6e0e82ff2/DSC02654.jpg Dr. Rebecca Fraccaro - Collaborative and strengths-based I want to get to know the true you: your strengths, interests, values, and vision for your life. I will present my authentic self in our time together (quirks and all!) so that you can feel comfortable doing the same. Together, we will learn how your past experiences and core values have brought you to the place you are today, and normalize that we all do the best we can with the tools we have. Together, we will look at your life with a compassionate but critical lens to discover what is working for you and what needs some fine tuning. I emphasize what’s really important to you into our work together and use a collaborative approach to develop a concrete plan with your specific goals at the forefront. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/c08514a2-facb-4506-829c-25ddf3847572/DSC01184.jpg Dr. Rebecca Fraccaro - Creative and experiential I use humour, creative expression, and a bit of fun to help approach difficult topics. With children, I use play and active learning to teach skills through hands-on experiences. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches while remaining grounded in the person-to-person interaction between us. I combine these and other evidence-based treatments with real human connection and a healthy dose of humour. I apply a feminist lens in my work to look critically at the power structures that shape our behaviours and advocate for equity, empowerment, and affirming spaces. When invited, I bring this critical lens into my conversations with clients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/38b98aa4-be78-4534-858f-50995ebbbaad/DSC01646.jpg Dr. Rebecca Fraccaro - Navigating transitions together As a parent myself, I have a deep appreciation for the beautiful complexities of parenting. I love working with parents to help them better understand both themselves and their children, identify longstanding family patterns, and address deeply rooted beliefs that guide their parenting decisions . I have a specific passion for supporting new parents, particularly new mothers, in navigating the pre/postpartum period and transitioning into parenthood. I also enjoy working with students of all ages as they navigate school and the many transitions within student life. I have a deep respect for the experience of neurodiverse individuals and enjoy supporting children, youth, and adults learn about their individual strengths and needs through assessment. I provide comprehensive psychological assessments to identify underlying learning, developmental, behavioural, and mental health conditions as well as strengths and capacities. https://thethoughtcentre.ca/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://thethoughtcentre.ca/our-services daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/46bf6a06-0b81-4c7c-8a04-362ff83590e9/DSC00971.jpg Our Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/d863e017-e937-4403-975f-6df44a858837/DSC00967.jpg Our Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/1d2f71fc-af3d-4f34-97ba-098ca3a63330/DSC02544.jpg Our Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/368562e9-6bc9-4512-8abb-ea6b5597b71c/DSC02006.jpg Our Services https://thethoughtcentre.ca/our-team daily 0.75 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/1646615803005-K5H9RF9127UB7DG5CFUS/DSC01186.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/1661181366199-FRS4VX05ZBLZTAW2V6HL/Eloisa+Trevino+1.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/13384e45-d1c4-405a-b87a-0584ce6d38c2/IMG_5494A.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/52b206f1-c212-45f3-b9b8-4c6711650c92/IMG_5316A.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/68747a46-d243-480d-8767-5e85794ed894/Photo2.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/71ae039b-26d8-4c61-80fd-ea6f83c180d0/Chelsea.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/27ae3cad-a916-456c-b68a-1abb32d0a7ab/Nelly3.jpeg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/d58edfb3-d20b-4522-bb11-22bf3f2a44ef/Deanna+Klymkiw+1.JPG Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/49804369-9fc1-4a98-a8de-fb11ab9bf3af/Maria+Diaz.JPG Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/443c1ff2-f65b-4944-8f24-e8eed493d652/Sharry+Shakory+1.jpeg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/d8b29828-cd0c-416d-b3db-533d85c29316/IMG_2830.jpeg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/10334cbc-46a4-4eae-a38f-a873a6f27dab/IMG_4749.jpeg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/d3df8b3f-16ba-4e38-a951-233fb63511ed/Annie+2.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/e3a1fede-a156-4572-b23b-f6eb0d4c7c58/Jessica+1.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/95e1c4c7-33e7-44ef-8046-fba5d8431793/Tina1.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/cecbdf2b-1258-4fec-9f72-e6f9507eeb09/Callon+2.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/f5743c58-6377-48ea-83d8-f810e6943672/Christina+1.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/faef6ba8-3154-44dd-9d7e-dae22ea5fa5c/Milina+1.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/b7354d8d-45dc-4b59-b913-0133b5261139/IMG_0328.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/aa1d6e80-79d7-4754-b51e-d2c266267e7b/IMG_1365.jpeg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/0f5ff684-30c1-4a17-ab0e-fe07bb04de64/IMG_8759.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/4c3c6ffd-21c8-4898-bba1-3542736ebd54/Lerna+1.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/c3c054ba-be8d-4078-b811-8fd61069d65a/Veronica+1.jpg Our Team https://thethoughtcentre.ca/faq daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://thethoughtcentre.ca/eloisa-trevino daily 0.75 2022-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/4deb3306-a4f0-4a72-8aed-0ab0151b58a3/Eloisa+Trevino+1.jpg Eloisa Treviño, RP - Supportive Your well-being is my priority.

In our therapeutic relationship, I aim to create a safe and trusting space in which you are free to explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in your life that are contributing to your internal distress. In a warm but direct manner, I will support you in moving toward what is important to you.

I have worked with survivors of sexual abuse, and other traumatic events including motor vehicle accidents and work-related injuries. In addition to my trauma work, I have a passion for supporting individuals as they navigate new life experiences such as motherhood.

I also provide parent consultation to help parents understand their child’s diagnoses and develop tools for promoting their child’s health, development, and success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/42b6de8f-cd37-4f15-b5b3-eb9b96c9e20e/Michelle+Prinzo Michelle Prinzo, C.Psych.

I find it a great privilege to join children, youth, caregivers, and adults in their journey to enhance well-being. I believe thoughts, emotions, and behaviours can change, and I am here to help clients address patterns that no longer serve them. I aim to bring a real, down-to-earth, lighthearted warmth to my work. My top priority is developing a genuine and caring connection with you.

Together, we will discover what inner experiences and external factors are getting in the way of you living your values. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/37190c6e-8736-429b-b274-3d0ae3b30c4a/Photo1.jpg Dr. Kailyn Turner - Evidence-based and responsive I use a variety of evidence-based strategies to help clients approach challenging topics and build new, personalized tools for coping.

I have expertise in conducting comprehensive psycho-educational, developmental, and psychological assessments. Through these assessments, I can help answer your questions about learning, development, and mental health.

My goal is to meet you with empathy, warmth, and genuine curiosity, creating a space where you can show up just as you are. I take a collaborative, relationship-focused approach, where we explore challenges and celebrate strengths side by side. I’ll always support you with compassion while also gently helping you stay connected to the goals that matter most to you or your child. Together, we’ll build a safe, playful, and empowering space where growth feels possible and you feel truly understood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/8d9cbb9f-3f53-42e2-90ca-46c2aa1238e7/Rose2.jpeg Rose Hossini, RP Qualifying - Creativity meets connection I bring creativity and play into my work with young children, using games, stories, art, and hands-on activities to help them explore their feelings and learn new skills in ways that feel natural and fun. With teens and adolescents, I show up in a grounded, real, and relatable way to create space for honest conversations while honouring autonomy and identity. My work is rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and play-based therapeutic techniques, blending evidence-based strategies with genuine connection. I aim to tailor the therapy process to each young person’s needs, whether that means getting on the floor to play, using creative tools to express big emotions, or engaging in thoughtful and collaborative dialogue. No matter the age, I will show up in a way that makes sense for my clients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/4026381d-ee85-434e-997d-19296ecda0eb/Rose1.jpeg Rose Hossini, RP Qualifying - Celebrating authenticity My work has been shaped by my years supporting children and youth on the autism spectrum and those with developmental differences. These experiences have taught me the importance of meeting each young person exactly where they are, honouring their communication style, their strengths, and the unique ways they make sense of the world. There is no right or wrong way to move through the world - just your own pace and style (and sometimes, it helps to have someone guide us along the way)! https://thethoughtcentre.ca/dr-deanna-klymkiw daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/d58edfb3-d20b-4522-bb11-22bf3f2a44ef/Deanna+Klymkiw+1.JPG Dr. Deanna Klymkiw - Let’s be real I am a first generation Canadian who comes from a working-class family. Pursuing a PhD wasn’t exactly on my radar growing up. In fact, my interest in human behaviour, thought, and emotion initially expressed itself through art rather than academics. Although I had some success in the arts, I was most fulfilled learning about human development and using that knowledge to help others. So, I switched my focus to psychology. I am particularly interested in working with youth (people in their teens and under 30), because it’s a time where sh*it can hit the fan, and a lot of us are making important decisions. Been there, done that. Let me support you on that journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/4946ee73-c965-4766-970f-443221edf209/Deanna+Klymkiw+2.JPG Dr. Deanna Klymkiw - What I do My therapy is cognitive-behavioural and trauma-informed, with a strong consideration of multisystemic influences. That means I target your thoughts and behaviour to make changes you want to see, and am keenly aware of how past traumatic experiences can impact those thoughts and behaviour. I also think about how the environment you are in (your family, school, work, city, country, greater society) can work for you and against you. I treat depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and difficulty managing emotions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/6baa887c-fa64-4f0d-95c5-822072ab1731/Deanna+Klymkiw+3.JPG Dr. Deanna Klymkiw - Who I see The focus of my training has been with BIPOC and LGBTQ2S+ teens and adults. I do not shy away from acknowledging the privilege that I hold as a white female cisgender graduate, and any other differences that may exist between myself and my client. I have found that a candid and genuine approach is appreciated and fosters a safe environment for clients to discuss their unique lived experiences. You’re the expert of your own experience. I promise honesty, safety, and validation. https://thethoughtcentre.ca/maria-intake-coordinator daily 0.75 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/49804369-9fc1-4a98-a8de-fb11ab9bf3af/Maria+Diaz.JPG Maria Diaz, Intake Coordinator - Taking the first step Reaching out for support can be difficult; it takes great courage and is a crucial step toward achieving your personal goals.

We all learn differently, and my goal is to help individuals and families gain clarity around the areas where additional support may be helpful. In therapy, my practice is to collaborate with you to set meaningful goals and to meet you where you are while encouraging growth and positive change. Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), I create individualized, flexible treatment plans tailored to the needs of each child, youth, and family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/3f4d95a5-5c83-4314-86a2-5b49b62497d6/Annie+1.jpg Annie Beatty, M.A., PhD Student - Leading with laughter Coming to a psychology office can be an overwhelming experience for children (and parents!).

Being human means we don’t always have it figured out. In therapy, I want to create space where you feel safe to show up as yourself, without needing to pretend or hold it all together. My style is grounded, collaborative, and authentic. I believe that when we are honest about our struggles, we build resilience and discover that we are capable of doing hard things! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/c1804e90-979d-4e28-aa7c-5d5a62d5a69f/Nikita+1.jpg Nikita D'souza, RP Qualifying - Working side by side My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed practice, and client-centred care.

My role is to support you in making sense of your thoughts and feelings, stay centered, and leave each session with clarity and meaningful reflections. Together we will build insight that will help you create lasting and meaningful change. I specialize in helping clients with: Life challenges, relationship struggles, anger and emotional regulation, parenting challenges, self-esteem, stress, burnout and developing personal growth. I also support caregivers in navigating complex family situations including co-parenting and moving through separation/ divorce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/908ee85e-bf46-4510-8796-c076c701ef3e/Jessica+3.jpg Jessica Furman, MSW - Collaborative My goal is to help you reach a place where you no longer need therapy, where you feel free, confident, and capable of living your life beyond the weight of "the problem." I primarily draw from Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These modalities guide my work, however, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, focusing on building a space rooted in warmth, compassion, respect and trust.

I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, to help you build skills that foster resilience and lasting change. As an active researcher, my work focuses broadly on health psychology and the factors that help people make meaningful behavioural changes.

Real Connection. Meaningful work begins with genuine connection. I show up as my whole self, with humour and candour…and invite you to do the same. My approach is warm, curious, and nonjudgmental. I believe that healing happens through connection, and that laughter and play open doors that words can’t! My goal is simple: to create a space where children and teens feel understood, supported, and free to be themselves. I strive to understand the unique lens through which each person experiences the world and to build a space that feels safe, supportive, and human. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you and work side by side toward your goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/d7241608-133b-46a0-bc9d-94aa1836a4ff/Christina+2.jpg Dr. Christina Amico - Assessments that actually make sense. Assessments shouldn’t feel like a mystery. If I am assessing your child (or yourself), my goal is to help you make sense of the results in a way that’s practical and empowering - not just a stack of scores, but a story that helps you understand learning, development, and strengths. I aim to provide clear, realistic recommendations that lead to meaningful next steps at home, at school, and in daily life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/52d04a15-8f69-40e5-ba95-4de73660a373/Christina+3.jpg Dr. Christina Amico - Flexible, focused, and a little (okay, a lot) of fun I’ve had the privilege of working with kids and teens facing all kinds of challenges - anxiety, mood struggles, trauma, big emotions, and everything in between. I also have a passion for supporting youth with developmental differences, like Autism, and helping them and their families navigate a world often designed for people who think and learn differently. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. I draw from a mix of evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), but I always tailor what we do to fit you. Some days that means structure and goal-setting; other days it means getting creative, laughing through the tough stuff, or slowing down to make sense of things together. https://thethoughtcentre.ca/milina-capoccitti daily 0.75 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/faef6ba8-3154-44dd-9d7e-dae22ea5fa5c/Milina+1.jpg Milina Capoccitti, RP Qualifying - Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary. I promise, I’m pretty normal My name is Milina, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a long-standing passion for this work—one I’ve been intentionally working toward for over a decade. Being a therapist is something I feel deeply connected to, and I take seriously the trust and vulnerability it requires to begin opening up to someone new. My role is to meet you with honesty, warmth, and respect, and to build a relationship where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/f5439bfe-4408-4963-b30d-9a1cb3ef8477/Milina+2.jpg Milina Capoccitti, RP Qualifying - Collaborative, honest, and human My style is collaborative and grounded in real human connection. I show up as my authentic self (humour included) because I believe therapy works best when both people in the room can be real with each other. You will never be met with coldness or formality; instead, I offer a space where honesty, care, and compassion guide our work. Together, we will explore the patterns that shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, while making room for the values and strengths that matter most to you. My therapeutic approach is routed in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and pulls from elements of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed practice. I pull from each of these modalities in a way that fits you, your goals, your pace, and your unique experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/1ec01450-b9c7-4904-ad42-e84629317954/Milina+3.jpg Milina Capoccitti, RP Qualifying - Who I support I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults, with a special interest in helping you navigate the messy, overwhelming, and transformative stages of growing up. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking support with anxiety and overthinking, depression, transitions and identity changes, self-doubt and perfectionism, relationship stress, emotion regulation, low self-esteem and feeling “not enough”. I also value working with adults across all life stages and hold deep respect for the richness of adult experiences including career shifts, relationship changes, guilt, parenting, burnout, grief, re-discovering yourself later in life, and so much more. My door is open to clients of any age who want a thoughtful, grounded, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. https://thethoughtcentre.ca/michael-franceschetti daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/0f5ff684-30c1-4a17-ab0e-fe07bb04de64/IMG_8759.jpg Michael Franceschetti, M.A. - More than a diagnosis My work is rooted in a person-centred, trauma-informed approach, paying particular attention to the unique circumstances that have shaped your life. I approach each individual with curiosity, respect, and cultural humility, recognizing that an assessment is not merely about arriving at a diagnosis, but about gaining a deeper understanding of the broader context of your experiences and personhood. I aim to foster an assessment process that is structured yet humane, objective yet remaining responsive to you as an individual to create a space where people can engage as openly and safely as possible, even within the necessary boundaries of forensic evaluation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/7c6791de-3d4f-4cfc-a0ef-b5be919ac947/IMG_8749.jpg Michael Franceschetti, M.A. - Understanding, not judgement My orientation to assessment is shaped by a strong appreciation for how psychological symptoms, behaviour, and decision-making are embedded within broader developmental, relational, and environmental contexts. Rather than viewing behaviour in isolation, or immediately judging actions as “good” or “bad”, I consider how trauma history, neurodevelopmental factors, family systems, social stressors, and situational pressures interact to influence mental state and capacity. This perspective helps me to provide balanced opinions that reflect a thoughtful understanding of the person behind the referral. My goal is to produce assessments that are clinically sound, legally relevant, and grounded in fairness to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/2bfb8835-2343-41a6-88f9-fdd2bc3fd6a8/IMG_8740.jpg Michael Franceschetti, M.A. - Walking in your shoes Through my training in counselling psychology and my experience as a Registered Psychotherapist, I have developed a deep appreciation for the powerful role that environmental context, social inequities, and systemic factors play in shaping behaviour and psychological functioning. This understanding not only informs my assessments, allowing me to provide opinions that balance accountability with a nuanced view of each individual’s circumstances, but also shapes the empathy I bring to my work. Recognizing the complex interplay between psychology and environment helps me approach each person with respect, compassion, and a thoughtful awareness of what it’s really like to be you. https://thethoughtcentre.ca/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2026-01-25 https://thethoughtcentre.ca/terms-of-use daily 0.75 2026-01-25 https://thethoughtcentre.ca/lerna-hanceroglu daily 0.75 2026-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/4c3c6ffd-21c8-4898-bba1-3542736ebd54/Lerna+1.jpg Lerna Hanceroglu, M.A. - What matters I have specialized training in autism and complex neurodevelopmental assessments, including training through McMaster Children’s Hospital. My approach to assessment is strengths-based and client-centred, emphasizing collaboration with families and consideration of broader developmental and cultural contexts to ensure recommendations are practical across home, school, and community settings. This perspective is especially meaningful to me as a second-generation Canadian who has navigated both mainstream and heritage cultures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/db706c00-8a2c-41b8-a64f-8c08703e84a3/Lerna+2.jpg Lerna Hanceroglu, M.A. - Supporting growth and resilience I treat children and teens presenting with a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, mood disorders, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related difficulties, and other emotional and behavioural difficulties. My therapeutic approach is evidence-based and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), emotion-focused therapies, and mindfulness-based strategies. I also have specialized training in family therapy and providing parent consultation, helping caregivers develop tools and strategies to support their children’s emotional and behavioural needs. I aim to tailor interventions to the unique goals, strengths, and developmental stage of each child and family I work with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d89cc4be320643efe0eae4/8f647b39-1321-449b-9072-aeab43c4dce3/Lerna+3.jpg Lerna Hanceroglu, M.A. - My therapeutic philosophy My aim is to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I believe that treatment works best when children and families feel heard, respected, and understood. My work focuses on building hope by emphasizing strengths, empowering families, and helping them advocate for their needs. Ultimately, my goal is to support children and families in developing skills, confidence, and resilience that will serve them well across the lifespan.
