*Not currently accepting psychotherapy clients
Elisa Makadi is a Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor working with youth and adult individuals. Elisa obtained a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from the University of Ottawa, with thesis research focused on self-compassion and mindfulness for those experiencing social anxiety disorder. Elisa has a particular interest in working with queer teens and adults.
Elisa describes therapy work as helping people learn what the heck their brain is doing and finding ways to hold their “stuff” differently. Past clients have commented on Elisa’s authenticity and humour, and how these traits help them feel safe enough to do deep work.
You can expect therapy with Elisa to be gentle and at your own pace. Elisa particularly enjoys long-term therapy work focused on fostering a harmonious relationship with yourself. We will discuss your early life experiences, the parts of you that make you who you are, and ways of relating to yourself in more helpful, kind ways.
