Meet Marilia Carvalho, a professional psychologist who creates unique therapeutic journeys for each individual she works with. Marilia has a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology from York University and a Masters of Applied Psychology in Clinical Stream from Laurentian University. She has gained experience in various areas of healing, working in hospitals, crisis lines, private practices, and school boards. With over five years of experience in the field, Marilia has specialized in psychoeducational and psychodiagnostic assessments. Currently, she works as a psychoeducational consultant for a Toronto School board, where she is committed to promoting mental well-being at every stage of life.

Marilia's philosophy centers on the belief that no two journeys are alike, and thus, each therapeutic encounter demands a bespoke approach. Rooted in empathy and understanding, her integrative and client-centred methodology weaves together evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-behavioural and emotion-focused therapy to create a safe, compassionate environment for her clients.

Marilia cultivates spaces of compassion and non-judgment, where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. From children to adults, she forges connections that transcend the clinical, integrating personal interests and milestones into the therapeutic fabric.

Marilia's ultimate goal is simple yet profound: to empower her clients to navigate life's challenges with newfound strength and resilience. Her clients emerge from their therapeutic sessions not just equipped with tools, but also with a deeper understanding of themselves and a renewed sense of optimism for the future.

In her free time, Marilia cherishes her Portuguese heritage and enjoys playing the accordion. She also loves spending time with her feline companion and her family's German Shepherds.
