Lauren Kalvari Counseling & Psychotherapy Claimed

Lauren Kalvari Counseling & Psychotherapy in Toronto, Ontario

Welcome to Lauren Kalvari Counseling & Psychotherapy.

I’m Lauren Kalvari, and I bring over 25 years of experience to my practice, specializing in strength-based online counseling and psychotherapy.

A Bit About Me:

I am in my 50s, married, and a mother of four, including a severely disabled son, an adult daughter, and two teenage boys. My diverse life experiences—ranging from family dynamics to professional roles—have deeply informed my practice. I am spiritually connected and find profound meaning in illuminating the darker parts of ourselves. My strong intuition, sense of humor, and genuine compassion guide my work. My career includes past roles with provincial welfare and mental health agencies, and I now dedicate my efforts to charities focusing on intimate partner violence, disability, and aging issues.

My Approach to Therapy:

In my therapeutic practice, I am continually inspired by the strength and resilience of individuals experiencing pain and trauma. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I prioritize helping clients cope with their challenges and find hope for the future. I use an eclectic approach, drawing on various therapeutic models, including:

• Attachment Therapy
• Interpersonal Therapy
• Meaning-Making Existential Techniques
• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Contemplative and Humanistic Approaches
• Couple and Family Systems Therapy
• Intimate Partner Violence Counseling
• Psychoanalytic and Relational Therapy
• Family of Origin Work
• Person-Centered Therapy
• Grief Work
• Strength-Based and Solution-Focused Therapy

I tailor my approach to fit the unique personality, current situation, and needs of each individual, often integrating various models organically. My commitment to authentic compassion and the belief in each person’s potential to heal and thrive, despite past traumas and challenges, are central to my practice.

At Lauren Kalvari Counseling & Psychotherapy, I am dedicated to walking alongside you on your journey towards healing and personal growth. Let’s work together to uncover your strengths and support your path to a fulfilling life.
