Welcome to christinavengris.ca! I’m Christina, MSW, RSW - the face behind the name and passionate person of all things mental health and well-being. Read on to learn more about me, my approach and how I might be helpful for you.

I’m a dedicated psychotherapist with over 15 years experience helping people make meaningful change in their lives. I’ve been lucky to be a holder of hope and ally for change with those who choose to work with me.

I’ve been through the amazing and horrible life can bring which I believe gives me a strong sense of relatability with people I engage with. I value how we all make meaning in our lives and strongly believe in the layers of resilience we all have. 

I’ve had the privilege of practicing social work with children, youth, adults and families for the last several years. I notice the glimmers in the toughest of situations and am a firm believer that when people are given space to hear their truest voice, they are able to find strength and solutions to carry them forward. 

I’m an ally, reflector, and collaborator who can guide you in understanding yourself and your relationships in a more compassionate way, while helping you learn skills to tackle the many challenges life can bring.

Aside from the above, it’s important for you to know that I’ve earned credentials and certificates that allow me to do this in a safe, methodical way based in research and evidence.

I’m a Registered Social Worker who is in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and I obtained my Masters of Social Work. I also prioritize keeping up-to-date with current training and research relevant to my work. For additional information, please check out my LinkedIn profile.

My vision is to create both virtual and physical spaces for people to come together as a group, individually or with those they love. Why? To have meaningful dialogue; to connect on the hard and good life can bring; to learn to reach out because we’re all in this together.
