Meet Our Team

As a clinical psychologist, it is my privilege to help you better understand yourself in order to lead a meaningful & fulfilling life. 

I am passionate about working with individuals who experienced various forms of trauma: early childhood physical, sexual, emotional abuse and/or neglect, war-related trauma, and occupational trauma. I also have extensive experience working with individuals who experience various forms of anxiety.

I have expertise in the assessment, treatment and research of eating disorders. In addition to completing my dissertation project on an innovative treatment for eating disorders (i.e., EFT), I completed post-doctoral fellowship through the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at The Regional Centre for the Treatment of Eating Disorders. These experiences enable me to have a comprehensive approach to address your goals, help guide you to understand your emotions, improve relationship to your body and yourself, build a more intuitive approach to food, eating, and lifestyle, and improve relationships with loved ones. 

I have extensive clinical training in Emotion-Focused as well as Psychodynamic-Interpersonal Psychotherapies. This, coupled with a personal interest and practice in yoga and mindfulness provide a comprehensive and compassionate framework from which to understand your individual concerns and address unhelpful relationship patterns. Depending on the presenting concern, I also integrate Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, Brainspotting Therapy (Phase I, II, & IV, Expansion Brainspotting), Reconsolidation Therapy, and Cognitive & Behavioural Therapy.

I completed my Ph.D in Counselling & Clinical Psychology at the University of Toronto (OISE) and have trained in various hospital and treatment centres across Canada before founding Ivanova Psychology & Associates.

I am registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. I am a member of the Canadian Psychological Association and the Ottawa Academy of Psychology. I provide clinical supervision and consultation to clinicians and graduate trainees in psychology at Dr. Ivanova Psychology & Associates. I am able to provide assessment services in Russian.

As a clinical and health psychologist, I provide assessment and psychotherapy for a wide variety of issues. I consider it a privilege to be able to work with individuals to achieve their goals and create a life that is congruent with their values.

I have experience in assisting individuals with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma (PTSD and C-PTSD), OCD, grief and loss, life role transitions, substance use issues, interpersonal difficulties or unhelpful personality traits. I can also assist people in adjusting to chronic illness, acute or chronic pain, processing new diagnoses or the impact of recent hospitalizations, adjusting to new ways of being after health issues, and end of life or palliative care concerns. 

I value the integration of scientific evidence, clinical judgment, and the preferences and needs of each individual with whom I work. I consider myself an integrative psychologist and base much of my work in client-centered (Rogerian), emotion focused and process-oriented approaches to psychotherapy. I have training in Emotion Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Cognitive Processing therapies. I also frequently integrate poly-vagal informed practices, psycho-education, and motivational interviewing techniques in to my work with clients.

I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I have received clinical training in various settings including hospitals, community mental health, psychiatric hospitals, private practice, and the federal correctional system. Currently, I am registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and am a member of the Canadian Psychological Association. I offer clinical supervision to qualifying clinicians at IPA.

As a clinical psychologist (supervised practice), I provide psychodiagnostics assessments and psychotherapy for various psychological issues including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, relational difficulties, grief, and personality disorders. I am particularly passionate about working with adults who have experienced various forms of childhood trauma such as physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, as well as parental neglect and abandonment. Through my academic and professional training, I have found myself drawn to the complexities of trauma and its profound impact on individuals’ mental well-being. My therapeutic philosophy is grounded in the understanding that due to its remarkable quality of neuroplasticity; the brain is capable of change throughout life, and I believe that this inherent capacity serves as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. Consistent with this philosophy, my approach to psychotherapy is strength-based and attentive to identifying and savoring positive emotions (e.g., joy, compassion, curiosity, calm, excitement) that have been shown in studies to foster resiliency and help with emotion regulation. Informed by theories of attachment and affective neuroscience, my treatment approach focuses on helping individuals to access and process challenging and fear-provoking emotional experiences in a safe, empathic, and supportive environment.

I welcome individuals from diverse walks of life in my practice. I recognize that each person’s journey is unique, and I collaboratively tailor my treatment plan to address the needs of each individual client drawing on various evidence-based treatment orientations including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDP), Short-Term Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Brainspotting.

I completed my doctoral training in clinical psychology at Concordia University in Montreal. I have a Master's of Arts Degree In Counselling & Spirituality from St. Paul's University. I have extensive training in various clinical settings including psychiatric hospitals, community clinics, university counselling centres, and private practices in Ottawa, Montreal, and Vancouver.

As a humanistic and person-centred psychotherapist my stance is rooted in the belief that humans are inherently healthy and aspire to learn and grow. Sometimes, we can get off course, whether as a result of a traumatic event, early neglect or mistreatment, or other stressful life events. I strive to help you access inner resources so that once overwhelming emotions can become a valuable source of guidance for your goals, needs, and values.

I also integrate modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to address your needs and Brainspotting Therapy to process trauma and improve wellbeing. I have worked with clients seeking services to help with binge-eating and body image, anxiety and panic, depression, grief and loss, as well as, PTSD, complex trauma and autism spectrum disorder.
