About

Magdalena Karakehayova is a Bulgarian-Canadian Psychologist, licensed by the CDA, specialising in working with teenagers, adults, couples, and families. She earned her Master’s degree in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Guelph in 2021. During her studies, she completed extensive training at Hamilton Child and Adolescent Services, focusing on supporting children and families through a variety of challenges. Following this, Magdalena transitioned to private practice, where she has continued to work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing a range of difficulties.
Magdalena has a particular affinity for Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and has deepened her expertise in this approach through comprehensive training programs and supervision. In her current practice, she combines EFT with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help clients build closer connections and explore their emotions in a safe and supportive environment. She also incorporates elements of Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to provide a holistic approach to her clients' needs.
Magdalena offers both short and long-term psychotherapy, guiding her clients through their healing journeys by creating a nurturing space where they can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. She is deeply committed to respecting cultural diversity and adapts her therapeutic approach to honour the unique cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and values of each of her clients. Through this culturally sensitive approach, she aims to empower individuals and families to find their inner strengths and foster resilience.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
