Leanna Probizanski
BA, BEd, HBSW, MSW, Registered Social Worker
Providing counselling (individual & couple) for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, stress, life changes, & conflicts. I have over 10 years experience working with first responders and military personnel. I am a registered Master’s of Social Work counsellor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II). My approach to counselling is that it is built around you as an individual. I believe that you have within yourself vast resources for self-understanding, for altering your self-concept, attitudes and behaviours, and that these resources can be tapped into collaboratively, as you are your own best “expert”. Working collaboratively promotes the building of a healthy counselling relationship, one in which you may find yourself able to explore difficult topics or memories or try new and different behaviours. Each of us is unique and therefore your therapy experience will also be unique. Together, we will work to obtain the goals you have for yourself within a warm, person-centred therapeutic environment. A variety of methods are used in my approach to counselling, taking an approach that best suits your individual situation.
