Zenia Turel

Hello, my name is Zenia Turel, and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO and a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the CCPA. I hold a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology, and I bring a strong academic foundation in Human Biology and Public Health Science.

My clinical work spans across private practice and nonprofit settings, where I support individuals, couples, and families through a range of complex mental health concerns. I specialize in working with issues such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder, trauma, substance use, mood disorders, neurodivergence, including ADHD and Autism, and suicidal risk.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Trauma-Focused CBT. I also incorporate elements of Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, tailoring each treatment plan to the unique needs of my clients.

In group therapy settings, I lead psychoeducational programs focused on narcissistic abuse recovery, and substance use and healthy living. These sessions aim to empower both professionals and the public by providing structured guidance and supportive space for healing and growth.

I’m committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and culturally attuned environment for all clients—including those from South Asian, First Nations, and LGBTQ+ communities. I enhance my primary modalities with complementary humanistic and Adlerian perspectives to foster self-awareness, personal meaning, and resilience throughout the therapeutic journey.

Whether you're navigating personal challenges, relationship dynamics, or seeking support for complex psychological issues, I’m here to walk with you in a space grounded in empathy, professionalism, and respect.
