Deniz is a professional member of the Quebec Art Therapy Association working with adults, teens and children from diverse backgrounds. She has several years of experience working systemically in schools, in private and community settings with minors and families on issues such as family and peer relationships, transitioning and adjustment issues, self-harm, anger issues, LGBTQ+ issues, low self-esteem, emotional and behavioural dysregulation. Deniz can provide progress and recommendation reports to schools in supporting children with their process.
Deniz uses an integrative approach, combining holistic therapy drawn from psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, mindfulness and CBT. She incorporates expressive arts, counselling, somatic awareness, movement and play into her work. She is currently training in Play Therapy, IFS and EFT and accepting couples as new clients.
As a member of the Iranian diaspora, she works through a decolonizing, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens to enhance resiliency and promote recovery, understanding that personal experiences of trauma are layered in structural intersectionalities and social inequalities.
Deniz provides online and in-person services in English and Farsi/Persian at our Brossard and Pointe Claire locations.
