Dr Gavi Ansara, PhD

Counselor

About

Are you tired of feeling misunderstood or judged by professionals and loved ones because of how you dress, how you feel, or what you want?

If so, then I can offer you a culturally safe and therapeutic environment in which you are treated with respect, compassion, and celebration of who you are right now.

My practice focuses on supporting people of all ages and backgrounds in one or more of these seven spheres of life experience across the life course:

* Relationships, sexuality, partners, & families (however you define them)

* Affirming your trans and/or non-binary needs & experiences

* Sadness

* Death & dying

* Surgical decision-making & support

* Living, loving, & thriving with disability labels, neurodiversity, and/or impairments

* Coping with endocrine health issues and long-term or recurring medidal conditions 

 

I also work with people who have survived trauma, torture, and abuse.

Due to my professional focus on these seven spheres of life experience, I offer highly specialised services based on years of international experience, field-specific training, ongoing professional development, and regular attention to the latest peer-reviewed scientific evidence in these seven areas. I have over 15 years of experience and training that span a very diverse range of psychotherapy techniques and approaches. We can work together in the ways that work best for you.
