Yael Greenwood is a Registered Psychotherapist. She has extensive experience providing counselling to the 18-30 year old demographic.
Yael is passionate about cultural sensitivity and infusion in counselling, and creates a safe space for all students. Yael is person-centred, and strengths-based in her approach, eclectic in her counselling interventions, and draws from such counselling models as: cognitive behavioural therapy, short-termed solution-focused therapy, culturally-infused counselling, acceptance and commitment therapy, and neurobiological approaches.
