Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

 

“Take a deep breath. Inhale peace. Exhale happiness.”- A.D. Posey

Hello! My name is Elena Korbout, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

From a young age, I was naturally drawn to being kind, compassionate, and attentive to others. In high school, I realized I had a gift for sensing people’s emotions and offering support. Still, it took me many years to fully accept this calling and pursue it as a career. My early path led me into architectural interior design and later into education, where I gained valuable experience as an educator. Eventually, I recognized that I could combine my personal and professional journeys by becoming a therapist—a decision shaped by my sincere interest in the well-being and happiness of people from all cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

In April 2024, I completed a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, which gave me a strong foundation for this work. I believe in the importance of harmony, flexibility, and resilience—qualities that help us face challenges and flourish in life.

Through therapy, I am passionate about helping clients heal from trauma, rediscover their motivation, and move forward with confidence. I am deeply inspired by the progress my clients make, and their dedication motivates me to bring both my heart and skills fully into my work.

My therapeutic style integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy, and I also draw on training in:

• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
• Integrative Approaches to Anxiety and Chronic Pain
• Bipolar Disorder in Children and Adolescents
• Sleep Disorders, Depression, and Mental Health & Aging
• Alzheimer’s Disease and Brain Health
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• ADHD and Substance Abuse
• Suicide Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention

I offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and art therapy groups. My areas of focus include trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, neurodiversity, culture shock, anxiety, depression, fatigue, agoraphobia, hopelessness, and certain addictions.

I provide therapy in English and Russian.

Thank you for considering me as a potential therapist. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
