Christopher Selenta

In therapy, I strive to create a collaborative, empathic, and non-judgmental space where you feel safe to explore and process difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I place great value in ensuring you feel seen and heard and accepted for who you are.

I embrace a client-centred approach, which means recognizing you as the expert on your life and serving as a partner to empower you to heal and grow. I take an integrative approach in my work that draws from different therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices. Moreover, my approach is tailored to building insight and coping skills to best address your unique goals and needs.

I am currently completing my Master of Psychology in Clinical Psychology at Adler Graduate Professional School. Prior to returning to school, I completed a PhD in Industrial / Organizational Psychology and had an almost 20-year career as a consultant working with various organizations. The pandemic opened my eyes to how precious our mental health is, which ultimately inspired me to change careers to become a mental health therapist. In addition to my work, I have also volunteered at Fred Victor and The 519, which support causes that mean very much to me.

At Therapy Villa, I provide services under the supervision of Ms. Niyati Gandhi, M.A., C.Psych.
