“The only way to make a real change in your life, to solve a problematic situation or modify an inappropriate behavior is to understand and analyze the roots, the deep causes behind it. All the rest is placebo”. Vanessa Bokanowski I’m a licensed counselor with a diploma in clinical psychology providing psychotherapies in French and English to: • Adults • Adolescents • Children • Couples • Personality Tests My philosophy is to adjust to your needs and suggest a designed collaborative plan that best suits your wishes and availability. Some people do consult because they do have disabling symptoms such as Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Traumas and Eating Disorders. Some others are consulting because they are experiencing a loss of meaning in their daily life, which comes most of the time with a decrease in energy. Whatever the reason is for consulting, psychotherapy can help to: • Knowing Yourself Better • Understanding How the Past is Affecting the Present • Improving Relationships • Better Expressing Your Emotions • Achieving Goals I’m specialized in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy which is an approach focusing on the unconscious, exploring the past to better understand the present which leads to a better self-understanding. If you are questioning your need to see a counselor, your best option is to schedule an appointment and we will figure out together during an assessment session what your needs really are.
