Antoinette Strazza, M.Ed, RP (Qualifying), Specializing in EFT   

I have a profound passion for understanding the explicit and implicit dynamics of all relationships. Specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and grounded in an attachment-based approach, I work with individuals to uncover and transform the underlying patterns and deep-rooted longings that influence their experiences.  Without learning new patterns and increasing self-awareness, we ultimately deprive ourselves of what we desire most. 

While fostering an environment of complete openness, safety, and vulnerability, my approach is both directive and supportive, and integrates principles of mindfulness throughout. 

My career transition has taken me from over 20 years of executive positions in law and healthcare, where I honed my skills in navigating complex relationships, back to my original path after completing my graduate degree in M. Ed Counselling in 2004. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I bring a unique blend of training, experience and distinctive perspective to my practice.
