Hi, I’m Elena Grinevitch, the Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Healing Tree Psychology and Wellness Centre.<\/b> Most of the people I work with don’t arrive thinking they’ve experienced trauma. They come in feeling stuck \u2014 caught in the same patterns, disconnected from themselves or the people they love, going through the motions but not really feeling present in their own lives. Some have been carrying a quiet weight for so long it just feels like who they are.<\/i><\/p>\n
What we usually find, over time, is that there’s a reason for all of it.<\/b> Early experiences \u2014 emotional neglect, inconsistent care, verbal abuse, growing up in environments where it wasn’t safe to feel or need things \u2014 leave real imprints on the nervous system, on the way we relate to others, and on the inner world we’ve built to survive. Those imprints don’t just disappear. But they can heal.<\/p>\n

My approach is gentle but purposeful.<\/b> I don’t believe in pushing people faster than they’re ready to go \u2014 but I do believe in going somewhere. I work collaboratively, with deep respect for your inner wisdom, helping you build self-understanding, insight, and resilience. Together, we move toward making sense of what’s actually happening underneath \u2014 and creating the conditions for something to genuinely shift.<\/span> I came to this work in part through my own experience of what therapy can do.<\/b> The kind of change that’s possible when someone asks the right questions and actually stays with you through what comes up \u2014 that stays with me, and it shapes how I work every day.<\/span><\/p>\n My work is focused on the more complex end of trauma presentations<\/b> \u2014 including complex trauma, dissociation, and dissociative disorders such as Dissociative Identity Disorder. This is territory I’ve invested in deeply, and where I feel most at home clinically.<\/p>\n Survivors of abuse and neglect<\/b> \u2014 many of the people I work with don’t recognize their experiences as trauma at all. They come to therapy believing they’re struggling with depression or relationship challenges, and over time come to understand how early emotional wounds have shaped their inner world in ways they never had words for.<\/p>\n Dissociation and dissociative disorders<\/b> \u2014 I work with the full range of dissociative presentations, from everyday disconnection and depersonalization to more complex structural dissociation. This includes working with people who have DID or OSDD and are looking for a therapist who won’t flinch from the complexity of that work.<\/p>\n Depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties<\/b> \u2014 often in the context of early relational trauma, where the symptoms on the surface are connected to something much deeper underneath.<\/p>\n I work primarily within an Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework<\/b> \u2014 a model I find deeply humane and effective for approaching even the most difficult inner experiences with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment. I’ve also trained in Emotion-Focused Therapy, and I draw on somatic and body-based perspectives when relevant, because lasting change rarely happens through insight alone.<\/p>\n My trainings include:<\/p>\n I am a licensed psychologist with the Order of Psychologists of Quebec, which means I can provide official receipts for insurance purposes.<\/p>\n When I’m not working, you’ll find me in a yoga class, at the gym or out walking my dog. Occasionally, I dabble in reading, spending time in nature, or being humbled by my ongoing attempts at learning something new. I’m also Co-Director of Healing Tree alongside my colleague Julia Di Nardo \u2014 and if you’ve read anything about how we work here, you’ll know that the work we do together is built on the belief that real change is possible. Not just managing things better, but actually feeling different. More like yourself.<\/p>\n That’s what we’re working toward together.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=\u00a0\u00bb@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjIxNyJ9fQ==@\u00a0\u00bb button_text=\u00a0\u00bbMeet the other Team members\u00a0\u00bb button_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbleft\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.6″ _dynamic_attributes=\u00a0\u00bbbutton_url\u00a0\u00bb _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb custom_button=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb button_text_color=\u00a0\u00bb#FFFFFF\u00a0\u00bb button_bg_color=\u00a0\u00bb#91C4CF\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MEET OUR TEAMElena Grinevitch Psychologist and Co-Director Hi, I’m Elena Grinevitch, the Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Healing Tree Psychology and Wellness Centre.
