ABOUT
Joanna Nowotarski, Registered Psychologist
I began my career within the mental health field in 2013 working with adolescents who struggled with behavioural, developmental and mental health challenges. After completing my Masters in Counselling Psychology in 2018, I worked as a psychotherapist at a non-for-profit agency with survivors of sexual violence. Over the years I have undergone numerous trainings in trauma and have been able to truly develop my passion and skills for working with adults and adolescents who are experiencing challenges with trauma impacts, anxiety, depression, general mental health, sexual and domestic violence, neglect, and self-esteem. My goal as a therapist is to support and encourage clients in finding a safe and comfortable place of exploration and growth and in achieving their goals. I aim to always create a genuine alliance with compassion and authenticity through a trauma-informed and feminist approach.
Areas of Specialty
I offer specialized interventions and services to adults and adolescents who have experienced trauma (physical and sexual violence and/or neglect), general mental health, anxiety, depression, unprocessed childhood events, suicidal ideation, and challenges with self-esteem.
