Luisa Di Iorio is back in-person to help us accommodate some of our demand for apts on weekends. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have you back in the space Lu 💙

“One of the reasons I love this work is because I have always loved learning more about people and their experiences. I enjoy working with men, women, couples and families. I find great pleasure in helping people validate their experiences and feel less alone.

With couples, I enjoy working with people who are looking for better ways to communicate or who are navigating challenging times. I have been told I’m a great mediator and feel confident supporting couples who need a strong presence in the room.

I get great pleasure in working with women who are navigating life’s many challenges which include, increasing self worth, working with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. I have experience working with anger management and high conflict resolution.

Ultimately, I’m committed to providing a space for clients who are ready to navigate life from a place of understanding and hope.”

Thanks for coming to hang out with us again Luisa. We appreciate your commitment to meeting the demand of our community.

It’s time to address the controversy.

Why exactly do I spend time rearranging the offices at CCP?

Yes, I was that kid that changed my room around on a Saturday night like it was the best night of my life.

However, there are some really important reasons why some of the shifts take place and they don’t ALL have to do with trying to mess with the staff.

-Temperature control. We have big, beautiful windows in our space. Where the sun is shining, what season it is, and what time of life our peeps are in changes on the regular. Sometimes room shifts happen to accommodate these changes.

-Confidentiality. My number one concern is clients feeling secure. Any space that has more than one office needs to ensure this. Positioning a chair, moving offices— it all matters when it comes to privacy.

-Comfort. Our furniture gets old, some isn’t built very well other prices are more structured. Our therapists share offices, and their backs may all be in different stages so chairs need to change. Each office has to accommodate, online sessions, more in-person each with different preferences for seating. Clients’ preferences in terms of couches and blankets. It all plays a part in organizing 10 therapists in 4 offices.

-Stimulation. Some people like the calm of the white walls, some would prefer a bit more colour, some like to have lots of toys for distraction, and some may have very real aversions to seeing certain things.

It all matters, and it makes me very happy to try and accommodate it all. Our space is where you come to deal with at times some very uncomfortable things, my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible 💙

So many people think they’re doing something wrong because living feels really tough right now. I spend a large amount of time each day trying to help a lot of people see that the struggle isn’t something they’re experiencing because they aren’t doing it right. Because even the people with the best mental health are not 100% right now.

We aren’t meant to live our lives at this pace.
We aren’t meant to be so disconnected.
We aren’t meant to absorb this much negativity.
And we aren’t used to doing it without support around us.

You’re doing your best.
You’re not failing.
Keep going.

💙

“I love hearing people’s unique stories, I want people to understand they have some control over their lives, that negative experiences don’t mean we have to have negative lives, and because it is so important to have skilled and ethical therapists for those who are asking for help.”

-Sasha Pivarnyik, Social Worker, Psychotherapist at CCP.

What a week of strength, courage and patience.
I’m so proud to do this work. 💙

My quarterly reminder that you’re not coming to therapy for us to fix you.

You’re not broken. This is a process you work through together.

Collaboration in therapy looks like:

• You are the expert on your life, we bring clinical training, structure, and psychological tools. You bring the deep, lived knowledge of your own experiences, values, and history.

• Shared inquiry and dialogue. We aren’t handing down fixed diagnoses, lectures. Sessions involve open conversation, exploratory questions, and mutual feedback.

• Active goal-setting. You help decide what to focus on, how fast to move, and what success looks like for you rather than being pushed through a rigid, one-size-fits-all program. (Who would have thought a one size fits all approach to complex mental illness doesn’t work?!)

• Regular check-ins, A collaborative therapist frequently asks if the pacing, direction, and methods are working for you, adjusting their approach based on your input.

You’re an active participant and it’s quite beautiful to see how this process works when you step into the work together.
