Ljuba Udovc RP, CYC
I am a registered psychotherapist with over 15 years' experience working with children, teenagers and their families. I'm passionate about helping children, youth and families reach their goals and potential. Every individual is unique, and I customize my treatment approach to fit your child and family.
I hold certificates in several therapeutic modalities, such as, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotional Freedom Techniques - Tapping (EFT Tapping), Solution Focused Therapy and Clinical Trauma Therapy. I may use one or several of the above evidenced-based approaches in therapy, depending on your need and preference.

Sammy co-therapist in training. :) Sammy's specialty is making people smile and laugh. She has a gentle approach and she's always ready to play. She's not ready to participate in therapy sessions quite yet, but we are looking forward to that time.

This is Sammy, she's a Leonberger, she's 2 years old and she's full of life and fun. Having a dog in therapy sessions has been known to promote relaxation and studies show that having a dog present can lower blood pressure. This can help children and teens feel more comfortable attending therapy.

My practice includes a holistic approach that focuses on all aspects of one's life that includes physical, mental and spiritual well-being. I'm passionate about my work and dedicated to helping you build coping skills, and find more peace in your life. I believe that using a holistic, client-centred approach enables you to create balance in your life and address areas where problems may persist. I am compassionate and hard working, and I strive to understand you and make you feel comfortable and supported.
My goal is for you to improve your coping as quickly as possible, so you can kick me out of your life. I want to be proactive and meaningful; your time and money is valuable to you.
