Take the first step towards change with Dr. Judy Makinen

My Approach

Seeking psychological services is a courageous first step towards alleviating personal and interpersonal distress. Therefore, I provide the highest quality care to adults (including seniors), couples, and families. My primary therapeutic approach is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) but I also have experience with other evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE) for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Regardless of the approach and type of service (individual, couple, family), I believe a compassionate therapeutic relationship is essential in creating a safe environment to work collaboratively with clients so they can identify their unique needs and treatment goals.
