Providing Therapy during COVID-19

We’ve seen an increased demand for therapy especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic. It affects everyone in one manner or another, either indirectly or directly. It’s normal to experience different emotions in response to added stress. Tensions elevate as we attempt to navigate life’s “new normals”. Our team of Psychotherapists are here to help you overcome your obstacles during this unique time.

Therapy appointments are available in-person, virtual over a secure video link, or by phone.

Amanda Kurgatnikov is dual registered in Ontario and British Columbia allowing her to offer virtual appointments to residents of BC.

How to get started

Congratulations on taking the first step. Deciding to start therapy can be the hardest step. Many people express relief after the first couple of appointments and wish they had started sooner. Speaking with a trained professional provides insight, brings inner peace and happiness, and allows you to work through the elements in your life creating stress and grief. The therapeutic journey can vary depending on the person. Some people need support getting through a difficult time in their lives. Whereas others may need ongoing support for a diagnosed mental health concern. Wherever you may be on your journey, we have the right psychotherapist to help. If you need help choosing the right Therapist, speak with our Therapist Liaison and Coordinator. Call 416 820 8588 or email therapy@ohanawellnessclinic.com.
