Meet Marie

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…

  • The complexity of navigating stress, trauma, and mental health challenges, informed by my own lived experience.

  • How culture, philosophy, and the threads of personal and ancestral history weave together to shape identity, a perspective deepened by being raised between Ukraine and Toronto.

  • The deep connections between body, mind, and spirit, through training in psychology, neuro-relational research, bodywork, and yogic sciences.

  • The power of creativity and multidimensional expression — from writing and movement to art, sound, and ritual — in fostering healing and transformation.

My cultural or ancestral background is…

  • Slavic-German, Ukrainian-born.

  • First generation immigrant.

My clients describe me using words like…

  • Compassionate, warm, and non-judgmental

  • Grounded, attuned, and calming

  • Insightful, curious, and creative

  • Gentle yet direct

During your free consultation, we’ll go over…

  • I don’t offer separate discovery or introductory calls. Instead, I structure the first session as a 65-minute appointment, with the first 15 minutes offered at no cost.

  • This gives us time to get a sense of fit, clarify what you’re looking for, and decide whether we feel comfortable moving forward together. If it doesn’t feel like the right fit, you’re welcome to end the session at the 15-minute mark with no fee.

  • If you choose to continue beyond the first 15 minutes, the standard session fee will apply.

  • Missed appointments or no-shows are charged at the full session rate.

  • Once you book your session, you will receive all details regarding how the online session will take place.

If we work together you can expect me to…

  • Guide you through body-based practices that support nervous system regulation and resilience

  • Offer practical strategies while also creating space for deeper self-exploration

  • Introduce creative and contemplative tools — from mindfulness to movement — that broaden perspective

  • Help you integrate insights, whether from daily life or transformative experiences, into lasting change

Booking FAQ

Does Marie offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Marie is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
