Naomi Yano Registered Psychotherapist

Description

Naomi is a Registered Psychotherapist and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. She studied psychology and sociology at the University of Toronto. She then went on to explore theological studies at several seminaries and completed her Master of Science in Marital and Family Therapy while living in California.
In her work, Naomi values the expertise of the client. She believes that each of us is the expert of our own experience, and thus we can find solutions to our problems within ourselves. She is there to facilitate that journey and provide assistance as needed. Naomi believes that the experiences we had early on in life often shape and form many patterns of behaviour that we engage in today, even if we are not conscious of it. We cope with stressors in the ways we were taught, and sometimes we don't realize that there are alternatives to what we have learned. As we become more aware of what we do, we can start to also become aware of other options that might be preferable. Change is always possible.
