Simona Ilieva (She/Her)

*Accepting New Clients* As a therapist, my goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges, empowering you to overcome the obstacles that hinder your ability to live a life aligned with your goals and values. My approach is grounded in the understanding that mental health is impacted by a multitude of factors. I recognize the profound impact that structural and systemic barriers can have on your well-being. These external pressures can often create feelings of frustration and hopelessness, making it difficult to find a path forward. In our work together, we will explore these external influences while focusing on your internal strengths. By identifying and acknowledging your resilience, we can work together to create the meaning change you are seeking in your life. I work with individuals 16+, couples, and families and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the proper fit for your journey. I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental environment in our work together, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings as we collaborate to dismantle the barriers that are preventing you from living a life aligned with your goals and values. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities from cognitive behavioural techniques to experiential approaches to provide you with various tools to utilize as you navigate life’s complexities. Together, we will explore your values and how they align with your goals in therapy. By integrating these values in our work our focus, in addition to symptom relief, will be to create a life and cultivate relationships that are both authentic and fulfilling. Psychotherapy is a journey of both self-discovery and growth. I work with clients in a range of areas of focus including intimacy and sexuality, sexual paraphilias/deviance, anxiety, depression, anger, intimate partner violence, addiction, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, grief, confidence and self-esteem, parenting, trauma, cultural and racial identity, LGBTQ2IA+, and body image. I am here to walk alongside you on this journey, providing the insights, support, and tools to help you thrive. At Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we strive to help clients live a life aligned with their values. Visit our website, call me, or email me to schedule a free consultation. I am here to support you on your journey.
