Korri Shefa, MA, RP
Clinical Director
Registered Psychotherapist
I am a registered psychotherapist in good standing with the CRPO. I hold a Masters degree in psychology and have been in the field of mental health for approximately 12 years.
I work with couples, families, and individuals providing in-person therapy as well as virtual therapy. In couples therapy, I incorporate Gottman theory, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and attachment therapy. I work with individuals suffering from various anxiety disorders, including panic, phobias and OCD, as well as depression, negative thinking trauma and sexual pain disorders. Moreover, I am especially passionate about treating women and couples struggling with grief related to infertility and I am a member of Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society.
I utilize an eclectic approach, incorporating cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques as well as pulling from different theoretical orientations such as psychodynamic theory, attachment theory and motivational interviewing techniques.
I firmly believe that it is the relationship between client and therapist that is the greatest indicator of therapeutic success. Indeed, only once this bond is formed can the therapist push, encourage and challenge one to break free from dysfunctional strategies to form a healthy and balanced mindset and actually change.
I take a very straightforward approach in session and I do not shy away from challenging my clients. I hope that upon meeting me, you will find that I am real, supportive, honest and sincere. I take the honour of being confided in very seriously and I look forward to hearing your story.
