Irit Schnabel Eliav
MA, CPsych Assoc (Supervised Practice)
Psychological Associate
I hold an M.A. in Clinical Psychology and currently practice as a Psychological Associate (Supervised Practice), registered with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario. I bring over 15 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of therapeutic settings.
​
Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew.
My Approach
My work is grounded in a psychodynamic, relationship-oriented approach. I see the therapeutic relationship as a meaningful space where emotional experiences, relational patterns, and inner conflicts can be explored with care and curiosity.
​
I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, and when helpful, I integrate cognitive-behavioral (CBT) techniques to support emotional regulation and day-to-day coping.

Who I Work With
I work with adults, adolescents, and children, and offer parent guidance when appropriate. My work is informed by a systemic perspective that considers the relational, family, and developmental contexts of each person’s life.
​
When needed, I collaborate thoughtfully with parents and other professionals involved in the client’s care, as part of an individualized treatment plan.

A Bit About My Journey
​
My clinical work has developed through years of practice across diverse settings, deepening my understanding of how early relationships and life experiences shape emotional and relational patterns.
​
Having personally experienced immigration and professional transition, I bring sensitivity to the emotional complexity of change, adaptation, and questions of identity and belonging.
