Helping those that help others.
One of the most difficult decisions for someone who works in emergency services is to recognize their own need for help.
Why emergency service workers?
Nurses, correctional officers, 9-1-1 dispatchers, police officers, firefighters, hospital and nursing home staff, social workers, and therapists. All of these positions, and more, involve individuals who put others first. People who day in and day out help create a better, safer, and happier life for other people. The question is: who supports them?
About me.
Teresa Mykytuik, Registered Psychotherapist #9568 with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
I have over 12 years of combined experience working in youth corrections as a Youth Services Officer, and as an Ambulance Communications Officer.
For education, I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree at McGill University, and my Masters of Counselling and Psychotherapy at Yorkville University.
I have over two years of clinical experience working with individuals experiencing a variety of symptoms including: depression, anxiety, PTSD, and workplace injuries. I also have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, transitional life changes, grief and loss.
My goal.
To work with people to help them navigate their problems and tend to their needs. I take a collaborative approach, whereby I acknowledge each individual is their own expert, and combined with my experience and education, we work together to work towards meeting your needs. By creating a safe space for individuals to learn, heal, growth, and change, resilience and balance can be built, developed, and maintained.
