About Dmitry
I sincerely believe in universality of human experiences and vitality inherent in human nature, despite any adversities. As such, my psychotherapy is life-affirming and driven by the question, “What’s RIGHT with you?” while Healing-Centered Engagement constitutes a foundation of my counselling style.
I enjoy working with individuals as well as with families and couples and see tangible results of our work together in all aspects of your lives. There are no small problems or issues, everything is important if it matters to you.
Before immigrating to Canada, I had been a medical doctor in two countries for over ten years. Regardless of the circumstances of time and place, the psychological well-being of my clients has always been a priority to me. Throughout my life journey, I have had a passion for working with psychological as well as psychiatric conditions.
As such, for me becoming a psychotherapist in Canada seems to be a natural continuation of my health care professional’s career. I graduated from City University of Seattle (Vancouver Campus) with the Master’s Degree in Counselling.
