Hi! I’m Sabrina Medinski (She/Her)
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) licensed to work in Ontario with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree.
I am pleased to offer virtual individual therapy services by video or phone to people living in Ontario.
As your therapist, I will continuously strive to cultivate an authentic connection with you based on trust, empathy, and compassion using a trauma-and-violence informed lens. I believe that by understanding your experiences I can best support you to achieve your goals. My aim is to work in collaboration with you, while holding a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable to share your experiences. I view therapy as you being the driver, and myself being a passenger working alongside you.
My approach is informed by my background as a queer-identified Lebanese therapist. I am dedicated to supporting individuals in exploring and embracing their intersecting identities, while also holding space for empowerment and growth.
