Ivana Di Cosola, Registered Social Worker (ON)

I offer 20 minute consult calls and would love to meet you!

Parcours

I have wanted to be a therapist for as long as I can remember. I recall taking pride in being the "listening ear" to my peers ever since I was able. My desire to sit with people and meet them where they are lead me to this career and my genuine curiosity of others fuels my work in the therapy space. As a relational therapist, I show up as a human first, with the goal of creating a safe space for you to process, learn and grow! Over the years, I have worked with different populations and in clinical settings. Most recently, as a social worker in the ICU supporting critically ill patients and their families.

Votre expérience thérapeutique avec moi

As your therapist, I come to sessions with a genuine care and interest in YOU! This means that I am curious about your favourite show as much as your current stressors or early experiences. My approach is collaborative, explorative and dynamic. As a fellow human, I do not have all the answers but I promise to provide a safe space where you feel comfortable to be curious and connect with the deeper parts of yourself. Therapy is a meaningful investment into your wellbeing and my endeavour is that from our very first consult call you feel the deep appreciation I have for your vulnerability and trust on this journey.

Approches thérapeutiques

Voici mes principales approches thérapeutiques, soutenues par une formation spécialisée et une expérience clinique approfondie.

Thérapie basé sur la théorie polyvagale (Polyvagal-informed Therapy)

Polyvagal Theory helps clients better understand their nervous system, recognize when they’re dysregulated, and build skills to return to balance. Together we will better understand the states of your nervous system and learn to attune to what makes you feel safer in your body.

Approche centrée sur la personne (Person-centered Approach)

I believe that every client is the expert of their own lives. As a fellow human, my goal is to understand your inner world, without judgment, in order to be able to better work alongside you.

J’intègre également ces approches fondées sur des données probantes lorsque cela est cliniquement pertinent :

Approche centrée sur la compassion (Compassion Focused Approach)

pleine conscience (Mindfulness)

relationnel-culturel (Relational-cultural)
