Therapy, Trauma, and Mindfulness Services

Schedule free consultation

Dr. Jan Klimas, R.Psych

Hi, I am Jano (pronounced Yano)! Having lived in multiple countries, I’ve gained a profound understanding that human struggles transcend cultural boundaries. This global perspective enriches my approach to therapy, allowing me to connect with diverse experiences while recognizing our shared humanity. My therapeutic approach integrates motivational therapy with evidence-based mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches.

I’m happy to offer you a free consultation to answer any questions you may have or set up an initial appointment.
