Raisa Stinson
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor (Individual & Couples/ Family)
Languages: English, Russian
Areas of Focus: I specialize in all kinds of psychological trauma (complex trauma, childhood trauma, PTSD, acute trauma), as well couples' therapy.
Clinical Approach: I am certified in EMDR (EMDRIA certification), as well as trauma-sensitive yoga; I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and somatic approaches. Most importantly, however, I focus on creating trusting therapeutic relationships with my clients.
Having lived in Russia, South-East Asia, Africa, and the USA, I have rich experience working with clients from different cultural and religious backgrounds.
"I put establishing trusting therapeutic relationship first. I listen hard, for what is expressed with the words, and especially for anything that is difficult to express with words. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches and techniques to help you figure out how you can help yourself."
