APPROACH TO TREATMENT
Ivan understands deeply how unique and challenging each individual’s experience can be when facing difficulties or transitions in life. Ivan is here to listen patiently and walk closely with clients throughout the counselling and therapy process.
He integrates evidence-informed psychotherapy approaches to support clients in exploring possibilities for change and growth. These include Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to strengthen couple relationships and address relational concerns; Internal Family Systems (IFS) to work with emotional pain and inner conflicts; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process traumatic experiences such as motor vehicle accidents; and the Grief Recovery Method (GRM) to support those navigating loss and grief.
Ivan is committed to working collaboratively with clients toward insight, healing, and connection. He creates a compassionate space in therapeutic sessions where clients can express their struggles and tell their stories.
