Grace Karugu
Registered Psychotherapist (Q)
Hi there, I’m Grace, and I am dedicated to helping you overcome life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the twists and turns life throws your way, but remember, you don’t have to face them alone.
Professional Background: I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science from Western University and a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I have honed my skills over the years, working with a diverse group of youth and adults, navigating through trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, and relational issues. My training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based therapy primarily used for PTSD, enriches my therapeutic practice.
Therapeutic Approach: My approach to therapy is holistic and individualized, deeply valuing the unique backgrounds and needs of each client. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that provides a safe, supportive space to explore and resolve issues, helping you to discover personal insights and strengths that foster growth and resilience.
Core Philosophy: I believe in the power of a supportive therapeutic relationship to catalyze true growth and change. My goal is to facilitate an environment where you can find clarity and strength, enabling you to move forward confidently through life’s challenges.
Client Focus: I work primarily with youth and adults, employing techniques from EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address a variety of issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, loss, and challenges in relationships.
More Than Just Work: When I’m not in the therapy room, I love spending time with family and friends, staying active, and feeding my passion for travel.
