Meet our Therapists
Ivan Pityk MA RP
Administrator of Ottawa Ukrainian Mental Health
Associate of Capital Choice Counselling Group
Ivan offers individual, couple, family and group therapy in online and in-person formats. He is also fluent in Ukrainian and Russian and has an insider perspective into these communities and cultures.
"My philosophy is that the past builds our being through the experiences we had and the lessons we learned. These experiences help to shape our sense of meaning and personal fulfilment through our journey. Therefore, I believe that it is important to explore the past and see how it shapes our experience in relation to ourselves and others. I incorporate this perspective in my work with clients and help to emphasize the power of choice, explore unmet needs and help to explore important areas for boundary setting.
To aid this I integrate evidence-based practice such as Psychodynamic Therapy, Family Systems, IFS, CBT, DBT and Emotion Focused Therapy, to help clients become more in tuned with their own mental, social, and spiritual needs and that of others."
Session Price: $170 per 60 minutes
Kira Pityk MA RP(Qualifying)
Associate of Capital Choice Counselling Group
Kira offers individual, couple and family counselling in online and in-person formats. She is also fluent in Russian and has worked with the Ukrainian immigrant community in Ottawa.
"My philosophy is that as we experience life we form narratives that shape how we view the world, ourselves, and others. We repeat these images, stories, and metaphors to ourselves, and look to reinforce these narratives by looking for evidence that supports them. Sometimes these narratives can be influenced by trauma, neglect, and misaligned relationships. My role as a counsellor is to explore and develop an alternative narrative that moves towards a more genuine you.
To guide this exploration and narrative building I integrate evidence-based practice such as Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Family Systems, DBT, and Experiential Therapy to help clients experience healing and foster a better sense of self."
Session Price: $140 per 60 minutes
