Meet Stephanie Cherian, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Credentials: Master’s in Counselling Psychology, Yorkville University | Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, York University
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure how to express what’s been weighing on you. I understand that many people feel hesitant or unsure at first. That’s why I create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can share your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, without pressure.
A Gradual, Supportive Approach to Healing
Building trust and comfort is key to the therapeutic process. My goal is to work with you to gradually build a strong, collaborative relationship, where you feel heard and supported as you explore your concerns. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, grief, or stress, we will work together to set meaningful goals and take steps toward achieving them.
How I Work
I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to tailor our sessions to your unique needs:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping you challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier perspectives.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Equipping you with skills to regulate emotions and build resilience.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encouraging acceptance of your thoughts and feelings while focusing on living in alignment with your values.
- Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT): Helping you focus on solutions and practical steps for immediate change.
Empowering You to Move Forward
My approach is rooted in empowering you to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. As we work together, I’ll help you develop the tools you need to manage stress, improve self-esteem, and move toward personal growth. It’s not just about addressing challenges; it’s about helping you build the life you want, step by step.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals aged 18 and older, supporting you in your journey toward mental well-being, personal growth, and achieving the balance you deserve.
If you’re ready to take that first step toward feeling more confident and at peace, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful, lasting change.
