Danya Lewis
(she/her), Training Therapist, MaCP Candidate
Therapist in Training
Starting therapy is a brave and meaningful step, and I welcome you just as you are. I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported—and my approach is grounded in warmth, respect, and genuine curiosity.
I work with adults, young adults, and helping professionals navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, people-pleasing, identity exploration, grief, life transitions, low mood, and relationship concerns. My practice is person-centred, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive, with an emphasis on understanding how identity, lived experience, and systemic factors shape our inner worlds.
With a relational and collaborative approach, I draw from emotion-focused, strengths-based, and narrative therapies to support clients in building self-awareness, deepening self-compassion, and moving through life’s difficulties with greater clarity and connection.
Before training as a therapist, I began my work as a registered nurse supporting individuals and families through cancer, chronic illness, grief, and life-altering transitions. These experiences continue to inform my work—and they also fuel my commitment to advocacy and to ensuring that healing spaces are accessible, affirming, and empowering—where you feel heard and validated.
Danya is currently completing her practicum as part of the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology Program at Yorkville University. She is also a Registered Nurse with the College of Nurses of Ontario, holding a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from York University.
