Therapist focusing on individuals, couples, and youth counselling

Team Lead | Therapist

You're carrying a lot right now. Whether it's anxiety keeping you up at night, relationship tension that won't go away, parenting stress that feels overwhelming, or just the weight of trying to figure it all out alone—you know something needs to change. But reaching out for help? That feels like another thing on an already impossible to-do list.

And even when you do reach out, you want someone who gets it. Someone who speaks your language—literally and figuratively. Someone who won't tell you what to do, but will help you find your own answers.

That's where Nevena comes in.

With nearly 14 years of experience as a social worker and counsellor, Nevena has walked alongside people just like you through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and everything in between. She holds a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University and draws on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy—but more importantly, she brings genuine warmth and a deep belief in your ability to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • No. Many clients don't have a formal diagnosis. You might be dealing with normal parenting stress, a difficult life transition, or simply feeling overwhelmed. If you're struggling, you deserve support.

  • That's completely normal. Many people aren't sure until they try it. Nevena starts with an initial conversation where you can ask questions, see if you feel comfortable with her, and understand how counselling works. There's no pressure, this first conversation helps you both figure out if it's a good fit.

  • No. You get to decide what you share and how fast. Nevena works at your pace, not hers. Some people want to dive deep; others prefer to focus on one specific challenge. You're in control.

  • Actually, no, and that's the point. Nevena believes you're the expert in your own life. Her job is to help you discover your own answers and solutions. She's a guide, not a director.

  • Yes. Nevena is fluent in English, Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian. You can work in whichever language feels most natural to you.
