Welcome!
My name is Milena, I am a Registered Psychotherapist and an eternal student on the path of self-knowledge and emotional healing. My approach is integrative and holistic, using different techniques that can help us connect with our bodies and process our emotions like mindfulness meditation and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These techniques will help us explore our subconscious mind, master our emotions and receive their message so we can create the life that we want.
​
I provide services in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
A bit of my story
​
I graduated with a Master's degree in Psychology from the University of Buenos Aires in 2015 and that same year I decided to embark on a wonderful adventure overseas where I lived and worked in different countries and industries, interacting with people of various cultures and ways of life. After two years travelling through Europe and Latin America, I settled in Canada and worked for a community mental health center in Toronto using the internationally recognized psychosocial rehabilitation approach called Clubhouse. There I supported clients living with mental illness in their social rehabilitation after long hospitalizations periods and isolation, providing case management, educational, employment and housing support, as well as spaces for compassionate listening and crisis intervention.
During that time I also began my own healing journey, and on this path of personal and professional development, I followed my intuition and incorporated various disciplines and techniques such as vipassana meditation, yoga, holotropic breathwork and energy healing. Seeking to expand my awareness and my knowledge to help others on their own journey, I took different courses in Hypnosis (by the University of Toronto), Psych-K® (Basic and advanced course), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and Compassionate inquiry (Gabor Mate) among others... seeking to expand my mostly psychoanalytic university training with the new discoveries in neuroscience, bioenergetics and somatic psychotherapy. Today I am registered at the provincial level in Canada with the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and at the national level in Argentina.
I'm passionate about the union of psychotherapy and spirituality, providing a therapeutic space where we can connect with our divine nature and cultivate unconditional compassion and acceptance for oneself. We know that pain and challenges are inevitable in this life, but we can learn how to surf those challenges if we are able to find meaning in our suffering.
​
My mission is to guide my clients so they can explore what is keeping them "stuck" in a reality that doesn't satisfy them, making conscious what is now unconscious and transform the beliefs that are not letting them be where they want to be.
I invite you to have a free 15 min consultation with me so that we can talk about how I can support you.
