Linay Repath
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
M.A.
Life is difficult and seeking help can be a challenging endeavor. Even the prospect of change alone can be scary and intimidating.
As a therapist, I am passionate about meeting clients where they are at. I work hard to ensure people feel comfortable voicing their opinions and sharing their personal experiences in session. Indeed, I am committed to creating a therapeutic environment where people feel safe, respected, and heard.
I value clients as individuals and strive to understand their unique lived experiences, worldviews, and beliefs. Using this knowledge, I am better able to assist clients in reaching their goals and improving their quality of life. I emphasize the collaborative nature of therapy and the importance of co-creating the necessary space for positive growth and healing.
