I am Lenka: a learner, a hiker, a deep thinker, and a psychotherapist.

Lenka uses a natural process in her therapy style: she focuses on connection and establishing safety. All of her sessions are individualized to each client, based on their learning style, the reasons that brought them to therapy, and how they are feeling in the here and now. This means that she will listen to your reasons for being in therapy, your goals, and any other history that could help us work through your concerns.

For couples, Lenka will compassionately listen to the needs and concerns of each partner. She will work with both of you to strengthen your relationship, as you both work towards processing the issues of the relationship. This guidance will help you bounce of ideas and concerns with her (a "third party") who can look at your relationship in an un-biased way, and provide helpful guidance.

Lenka works with teenagers and adults in individual psychotherapy, and with adults in couple's therapy. Therapy is a beneficial way to help work through current or past issues, as well as future worries. It gives you a place to say what you need to say, and process through issues that you are having a hard time with. After working with a therapist for some time, many clients continue to come every 1-2 months for "mental health check-ins". These check-ins are great options to continuing to make sure that you are prioritizing your mental health and moving forward in your life towards the person you want to be.

Lenka’s ability to connect with clients instantly, and find the major interfering themes of your life are just some of her main strengths as a psychotherapist.

TRAINING

Lenka has training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy. For Couple's Therapy, Lenka is trained in the Gottman Method.

Using her training in these therapy styles, Lenka may use one or two therapies for your treatment, or up to 3 therapies. It all depends on your learning style and what you are looking for in therapy. Your goals will help Lenka figure out the perfect combination of therapies to reach your goals.

Other areas of work:
Lenka also has extensive experience working with clients going through major life transitions, working with the LGBTQIA2S+ population in any stage of their identity journey, job-related stress and burnout, and substance use/addiction. For spiritual clients, Lenka can bring a spiritual (energy, meditation, oracle cards, higher guidance) component to therapy.
