Elena Kuzmina

Counselor/Therapist, Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I believe therapy has the power to support anyone, regardless of where they are in life or what challenges they’re facing. Seeking therapy isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s an act of courage and self-compassion. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, valued, and free to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or life transitions, or simply seeking clarity and personal growth, therapy can be a transformative process. Together, we’ll uncover practical strategies to overcome obstacles, enhance your relationships—including the one with yourself—and move toward meaningful change. With advanced degrees in Counselling Psychology, Library Studies, and Linguistics, I bring a well-rounded and evidence-informed approach to our work. My practice is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration, tailoring every session to your unique needs. I’m also committed to breaking the stigma surrounding therapy. It’s not just for times of crisis—it’s a valuable resource for self-discovery, healing, and building resilience in everyday life. Take the first step toward the life you want—booking is simple. Visit my website or reach out directly to schedule a session or a free 15-minute consultation. Therapy is a journey, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Elena Kuzmina Practice Details

Therapy Sessions Elena Kuzmina Practice Description
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when stress, uncertainty, or a sense of being stuck takes hold. Taking the first step to share your struggles—whether in therapy or within a relationship—can be challenging, but it’s often the start of meaningful growth. I’m here to help guide you through that process. With advanced degrees in Counselling Psychology, Library Studies, and Linguistics, I bring a thoughtful and comprehensive perspective to therapy. As a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), my approach is rooted in empathy, evidence-based methods, and a genuine focus on your individual needs. Having immigrated to Canada in 2001, I also bring a deep understanding of navigating cultural transitions and life’s complexities. Fluent in Russian and familiar with Ukrainian, I offer culturally sensitive therapy to clients from diverse backgrounds. My academic work on the psychology of creativity has given me insight into how art and expression reflect deeper emotional and societal truths—an understanding I often incorporate into my therapeutic work. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship challenges, a life transition, or simply seeking greater self-awareness, our work together will be tailored to support your unique journey. We’ll explore practical strategies to help you build resilience, improve relationships—including the one with yourself—and create meaningful change. Take the first step toward clarity, growth, and self-discovery. Reach out today to schedule a session or a free 15-minute consultation, and let’s work together toward the life you deserve.
