Kersti Abawi, Psychotherapist

Kersti is a mental health professional who provides psychological services under the supervision of a registered psychologist.

All therapy aims to broaden our awareness.  This sounds simple, but is extraordinarily complex.  The difficulties we find ourselves in are generated or compounded by motives, concepts and habits of UNawareness.  By becoming aware of what these are, we are set free to see ourselves and our lives in new ways.  We are motivated differently, and change occurs.

Kersti has been a psychotherapist since 1993, with experience working in hospitals, mental health agencies, for a national EAP provider, as well as in her own private practice.

In addition to an M.A. in Counselling Psychology, she is trained in EMDR, has completed coaching foundations with the Institute for Lifecoach Training, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) professional training.  Kersti is a member of the Ontario Association of Counsellors Consultants, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists (OACCPP), and has presented at their annual conference on using a Narrative approach in the treatment of eating disorders.

In March 2008 Kersti will be a certified yoga teacher.  She loves nature photography and flamenco dancing.
