Counsellor Profile

Margarita Iarovaia

MPCC

Lead The Way Psychotherapy

Professional Bio
I come from an informed approach when working with adults in areas regarding sex, sexual identity, sexual education, and general sexual therapy. My Bachelor’s degree in Child and Youth Care has also provided me with the tools to specialize in working with children, ages five to fifteen. Additionally, I have experience in helping children and families, from across Canada and abroad. I am currently an intern completing my practicum and am a MACP candidate. I am comfortable working with a variety of different cultures, age groups, religions, and am certified to work with the LGBT2SQ+ community. Furthermore, I am a certified clinical trauma specialist. I aim to create a safe space, one of compassion, empathy, and care, using a person-centered, integrative approach. I believe that every individual, adult or child, should have the opportunity to explore themselves and the world around them. My goal is to create a space where one feels encouraged, supported, validated, and understood, at any age. I am able to provide services in both English and Russian.
