You Deserve To Live Fully And Flourish
Together, let’s help you set boundaries that ensure you form healthy relationships.
Hi, I’m Kim Tanzer, a practicing psychotherapist for 25 years, a yoga instructor and a mindfulness teacher. I am passionate about my work as a therapist and feel privileged to hear your stories, which are wonderfully messy and unique. In a safe, relaxed environment, my passion is to help you own your voice, harness your strengths and create a strong sense of self-worth.
Having struggled and overcome my anxiety, I understand the therapy process from the other chair. I know the importance of having a strong connection to your therapist when embarking on this journey.
As a seasoned therapist, I use various strength-based approaches. My approach is eclectic and tailored to your individual needs. Also, I work with you holistically as the mind and body are intertwined, and emotions are stored in the body.
Feel free to connect and ask me questions about my work. I offer a free 15-minute consultation.
Life is messy. In a safe, relaxed environment, I wish to help you embrace and express the messiness, own it, and be who you are.
To live a fully authentic, meaningful life, you must learn how to embrace the messiness and express your unique self. As one of my favourite poets, E. E. Cummings, says:
To be nobody but
yourself in a world
which is doing its best day and night to make you like
everybody else means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
