“I am more than sure that every person can change his or her life with the assistance of a psychotherapist. I am here for you.”
My name is Alex Kazmin. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP). I possess a Medical Degree (IMG) and have more than 20 years of medical, clinical and research experience. Last 12 years I have worked as a registered professional counsellor/psychotherapist.
As a licenced psychotherapist, I counsel clients with different mental issues and situational problems. I use in my practice the eclectic methods, which combine a CBT approach, DBT techniques, Gestalt therapy, existential therapy, and a holistic attitude. I believe that each client deserves a personal approach to his or her issues specifically tailored to the wholeness of the client’s personality.
My style of psychotherapy is a humanistic approach to each client focusing on a person’s wellness and not just their illness or condition. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and am an LGBTQ+–allied therapist.
I like hiking, nature, watching movies and have a meaningful conversation with good friends.
