Transforming Emotions

Dina Helale (Dena Marcos)

MACP, RP(Q) (she/her)

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Sometimes we don’t know how to move forward, but we realize that how we’ve been navigating the world is no longer working for us. I facilitate opportunities to process the experiences that may have led you to where you are now, to then transform challenging emotional patterns that have kept you stuck. Together, we will work to improve healthy day-to-day functioning, and help chart your course forward towards a better future.

I will work with you to co-create a relationship rooted in unconditional acceptance, transparency, and compassion, as I believe these to be the foundation of the therapeutic journey. My practice is informed by Client-Centered and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, low self-worth, depression, interpersonal challenges, goal-setting difficulties, identity confusion, and acculturation stress. I also have a decade of experience within the career development field, supporting post-secondary students, new immigrants, and mature learners with career and life transitions. I’m currently practicing under the supervision of Dr. Sarah Thompson, C.Psych.
