Kiara Tsagkaris, Registered Psychotherapist(Qualifying)

Hi – My name is Kiara and I use she/her pronouns!

Trauma can change the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Maybe you are struggling with self blame, or feel unsafe as you move through life. You may be struggling with your own identity, feel out of control of your emotions or feel disconnected with yourself or others. You may feel stuck in these patterns or feelings, but change is possible. Opening up about our experiences can be hard, but I am here to offer my unwavering support, without judgment. We will work together to arm you with the skills and knowledge to heal.

Change isn’t easy, and you may want to give up. With a deep commitment to your wellbeing, we will explore how best I can support you.

I offer appointments virtually and in-person at 130 Spadina in Toronto.

Approach and Professional Experience

Kiara is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who holds a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy fromYorkville University and a Bachelor (Honors) degree in Psychology, with a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies from York University.

Prior to her clinical work supporting clients through individual counselling, she supported her community through work in shelters and community organizations with a focus on women, sex workers and the 2SLGBTQ+community.

Kiara is passionate about supporting clients facing challenges related to identity, sexual trauma and perinatal mental health. She has completed additional training in trauma counselling, perinatal mental health, and suicide prevention.

As a queer therapist, her approach to counselling is rooted in affirming, anti-opressive, body positive and sex positive practices.

Each person’s journey and experiences are different, requiring a unique treatment plan. Kiara believes in each person’s innate wisdom to know themselves, and as such takes a collaborative approach that both guides clients and empowers them to make choices about their care.

Healing happens in connection and in community.
