Michael Holuj
MACP, RP, CCC
I offer virtual and in-person therapy sessions for adults, adolescents, and couples in Ottawa and across Ontario.
​
No matter the situation in your life I work to help you feel heard and understood in a non-judgemental environment. I am on your side and together, we work to understand how thoughts, feelings, actions, and physical sensations are interconnected. This understanding can help build resiliency, self-esteem, and new ways of relating to yourself and others that better serve you.
​
My approach is informed by attachment theory, which describes how the relationships we have had throughout our lives affect the way we respond to challenges, both internally and externally. I focus on helping you develop a confident and reliable relationship with yourself and your inner-child so you can be a major source of healing and change. I am also trauma-trained to help you work through extreme emotions.
​
I am a trauma-trained and attachment-focused therapist that uses an integrative approach to therapy, drawing influence from Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Existential, ACT, DBT, CBT, Somatic, Narrative Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and more. I look forward to talking with you and helping you grow.
