Credentials Verified by PM
Magdalin is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and has over six years of experience supporting children and youth, including three years providing psychotherapy. Their background as an educator allows them to bring a strong understanding of child and adolescent development into their therapeutic work. She holds an Honours BA from the University of Toronto, a Master of Teaching from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, and a Graduate Diploma in Art Therapy from the Toronto Art Therapy Institute.
Magdalin's primary area of specialization is Art Therapy, where creative expression is used as a therapeutic tool to help clients explore and express their inner worlds. They work with children, youth, and young adults experiencing challenges such as generalized anxiety, social anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns, disordered eating, bullying and peer relationship difficulties, navigating big emotions, and imposter syndrome. She also provides queer- and trans-affirming care, supporting clients in identity exploration within a safe and inclusive therapeutic environment.
Her therapeutic style is non-judgmental, curiosity-driven, and collaborative. She strives to create a grounded, calm, and supportive space where people feel safe exploring their thoughts and emotions. When appropriate, Magdalin incorporates playfulness and creativity—especially when working with children and youth—to make therapy engaging and accessible. Through a compassionate and individualized approach, she helps clients develop emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and build confidence as they navigate life’s challenges.
