About Svetlana
I have more than 40 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and mentally ill clients/patients. I am holding a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology and Registered Psychotherapist with The College
of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, Registration # 004493.
I was originally trained oversees and my education was evaluated by World Education Services (WES) and by The
College of Psychologists of Ontario, and equivalents to Canadian Standards of MA and PhD Degrees.
I was employed with Correctional Services Canada in the Psychology and Mental Health Services Departments for 14 years. Currently, I enjoy working at private practice and at Revival Rehabilitation Center.
Most of my practice is related to psychotherapy and counselling service for the generalcommunity in Ottawa and Kingston. Mainly the issues I deal with are depression, anxiety, phobias, PTSD (Post Trauma Stressed Disorder), psychological injuries after MVA, stress management, personal growth, and cultural adjustment difficulties with teenagers, adults, seniors. and couples. I also have experience of helping patients who suffer with chronic pain, insomnia, and psychosis.
Interventions I am using are based on a cognitive behavioural theoretical framework, utilizing a variety of techniques, including evidence-based CBT for patients with Major Depressive Disorders, ERP for OCD and BDD, Interpersonal Therapy, EMDR for Post Trauma-stress disorder (PTSD), Hypnosis, Mindfulness, Stress, Anxiety, Anger Management, Insomnia, and Somatic Tracking (neuroplastic pain) techniques with teenagers, adults, seniors, and couples.
