I want you to get the care you deserve.
Welcome to Collectively Empathic, and thank you for stopping by
My name is Diana Dziuba-Horrocks and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I am also a Registered Early Childhood Educator. I have obtained certification in Mindfulness Meditation, Level One Emotionally Focused Therapy and Binge Eating & Chronic Dieting.
I have 20 years of experience in the mental health field and am so thankful that my journey has brought me here to Psychotherapy. Having experienced being a Peer Support Worker, Youth Support Worker, Child and Youth Worker and Community Mental Health worker in non-profit agencies has brought a great deal of value and understanding to my own life.
An Integrative Approach
I offer a warm, safe, non-judgmental and confidential space for you to safely explore what has brought you to therapy. I utilize an integrative approach that is agreed upon by you. Drawing on Emotionally Focused, Strength- Based, Attachment-Based Therapy and more, I ensure to provide an empowering environment where you feel heard, respected and safe.
I look forward to connecting with you and walking alongside of you as you navigate your innate strength and determine the tools that work best for you.
A little bit about grief
It has been my discovery that grief can show up at any time and in any format. Grief encompasses such a variety of experiences and can be the loss of any form of reality, whether it is the death of a loved one, an end to a career you thought you were meant for until retirement and a friendship you thought you would have for a lifetime.
As human beings, we experience loss more frequently than we imagine. Quite often, societal norms express that there needs to be a justification for your grief such as imposing a timeline to justify what your grief should look like. I am here to tell you that it is up to you what you choose to grieve and how you grieve.
Grief does not go away. It remains, ebbs and flows. It is on a continuum. I will walk along with you to explore what grief is to you.
Please reach out if you would like to have a free phone consultation and together, we can see if we could be a good fit.
