Counselling & Psychotherapy Claimed

Counselling & Psychotherapy in North York, Ontario

My name is Alex Kazmin, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and Professional Counsellor (RPC) based in North York, Ontario. With a robust medical background (MD, IMG), I bring over 20 years of clinical experience to my psychotherapy and counselling practice.

I graduated in 1984 from St. Petersburg Pediatric Medical University in Russia, where I earned my Medical Diploma as a physician-pediatrician. My career spans several countries, including Russia, Israel, and Canada. I practiced as a physician-pediatrician in Russia from 1984 to 1991, and in Israel from 1991 to 2004. My journey in psychotherapy began from my passion for understanding and addressing emotional and mental health, which are crucial components of holistic healing.

In Canada, I completed the MCCEE and MCCQE Part I exams and was recognized as an M.D., General Practitioner. I also worked at the Hospital for Sick Children (HSC) in Toronto from 2007 to 2010, providing consultation on the safety of medications during pregnancy and addressing mental health issues within the MotheRisk program. This experience solidified my commitment to integrating my medical expertise with psychotherapy to support individuals facing mental health challenges.

I pursued advanced training in professional counselling at Vancouver College of Counsellor Training (VCCT), graduating with honors in February 2012. I was recognized as an RPC(c) by the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association in May 2012 and achieved full recognition as a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC) in September 2014. I became a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) on February 6, 2018.
