“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom”

Welcome

Tanya Kowalenko Psychotherapy

What if you’re not broken?

What if your symptoms have meaning and wisdom and, instead of trying to get rid of them, they were explored with curiosity, presence, compassion and creativity?  

Perhaps you understand what your patterns are and where they’ve come from on a cognitive level, but you still feel stuck and don’t know what else to do.

Perhaps you’re tired of feeling alone in your pain, your grief, your anger, your fears, your joy, but find it difficult to accept support and to be vulnerable with another.

Instead of being the ‘expert’ and giving you pre-fabricated tools to fix your problems out in the ‘real world,’ I meet you in your suffering, and work directly on these stuck patterns as they arise in the ‘here-and-now.’ This includes raising awareness of physical sensations, emotions, thought patterns, and how we relate with one another in real time. 

Through a creative and dynamic process of exploration that could include art, movement, metaphor, psychodrama and role play, this direct and honest experience of yourself, in relationship with a responsive and caring other, can allow for new possibilities to open up that might offer more freedom, authenticity, choice and satisfaction.
