Abby Ajvaz

I am a Registered Social Worker & Psychotherapist with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I have a passion for working alongside clients who are feeling held back by their past experiences. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, working with people navigating stress and anxiety-related disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), and relationship concerns. I take a collaborative approach, working with you to create a treatment plan that honours your individual needs and supports your healing journey.

‍

My practice draws from a blend of therapeutic approaches, focusing on the mind-body connection, including Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) (Level 1), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), mindfulness, and self-compassion practices. I deeply value each person’s innate resilience and capacity for change, and strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space for meaningful healing and growth.

‍

In addition to therapy, I provide clinical supervision services to Registered Social Workers (RSWs) and Registered Social Service Workers (RSSWs). My supervision practice supports clinicians in developing their trauma-informed lens, clinical skills, mindfulness, and somatic practices into their work. My goal is to hold a reflective and compassionate space that supports your growth and nurtures a deeper relationship with yourself.

‍

I offer in-person therapy sessions in Toronto, ON, as well as virtual services across Ontario. Whether you prefer meeting face-to-face or from the comfort and flexibility of your own space, we’ll choose the option that best supports you.

If you’re wondering whether I might be the right fit for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We can explore this together.

When I am not working, you can find me streaming the latest Bravo reality TV show or outdoors playing with my dogs, Otis and Stitch. 🐶
