Maria Wazny

Canadian Certified Counsellor 

Languages Spoken:

I support adults and youth (14+) navigating cultural and life transitions, grief and loss, identity shifts, relationship challenges, and sports performance concerns. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a focus on helping clients build psychological flexibility and reconnect with what matters most to them.

Having lived across different countries, cultures, and within high-performance sport, I bring both professional training and lived experience into the therapy room. Outside of the therapy room, you’ll often find me skiing, reading, gaming, or immersed in a creative project. I value movement, curiosity, and making space for the full range of human experience—both in life and in therapy.
