Liane Odze-Silver View Specialties

My practice is centrally located in Toronto, easily accessible by public
transportation. I am a psychotherapist who works to help clients find a
sense of empowerment around the issues that are troubling them, to help them
explore and understand the meaning of these experiences, and to find change.
My approaches: relational, psychodynamic (seeing how one is impacted by
past experiences), self-psychology (promoting understanding and empathy,
conflict resolution), cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma therapy and attachment theory.  I also have specialized training in the use of art-based approaches.


My manner is compassionate, non-judgmental, warm, and caring. I understand that
integrating and giving meaning to past experiences can result in a sense of
freedom and efficacy that had previously been missing. I also appreciate
that some clients want to focus on present day problems and to find
solutions for these, so that their lives will feel more fulfilling.

Trauma and Dissociative Disorders
Addiction Recovery Maintenance and Related Issues
Eating Disorders
