About Me
My name is Daryna Skybina (she/her) and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am also conversationally fluent in Ukrainian and Russian. I strive to create an empowering, body positive, and culturally sensitive space where all can feel safe to explore any topics and concerns.
I have professional and lived experience with grief, loss, and advanced and chronic illness. I understand these experiences can be life-altering, traumatic, and can change how you view yourself and the world. And so, you need to adjust to a ‘new normal’, but you don’t have to do so alone. I would be honoured to support you through this process of healing and connecting with what you find meaningful.
I use an eclectic and client-centered approach to psychotherapy. I believe in the importance of whole-person care and am interested in understanding what’s important for you and bringing that into our work together. I recognize religion and/or spirituality may be an important part of your life and have experience inviting religion and spirituality into psychotherapy.

Qualifications
I completed the Master of Pastoral Studies Program (Buddhist Stream), with a Certificate of Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy from Emmanuel College at the University of Toronto. I also hold a HBSc from the University of Toronto with a Research Specialist in Psychology and a Minor in Buddhism, Psychology, and Mental Health.
I incorporate my training in Spiritual Care into my work by viewing one’s culture and religion, spirituality, or meaning-making system as an important part of their identity. I have experience in supporting individuals from various faith traditions and spiritualities, including those who do not identify with any tradition.
I have experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds in community, hospice, and hospital settings.
I have completed additional training in Gottman Method couples therapy level 1 and 2, and The Art of Trauma - Centre For Expressive Arts Therapy Education, DBT.
