Mana Gebreyohannes

Mana’s practice is informed by her extensive experience working with diverse backgrounds in various settings, such as community, child protection and hospitals, both in Nova Scotia and Ontario. In addition to her role as a psychotherapist at Your Therapy, Mana has the privilege of working with children, adolescents and their families in the in-patient Psychiatry and Eating Disorders program at Toronto’s world renowned Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Mana’s practice is also significantly informed by her personal experiences living in an immigrant household, among a vibrant African Nova Scotian community, and later, living in multicultural Toronto. These experiences enable her to work from a cultural-humility stance, practicing through an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, client-centered, collaborative lens, aiming to amplify the innate strengths and resilience of her clients. Mana deeply believes that clients are the experts in their lives, and she aims to create a safe, non-judgmental space where they can explore and increase self-awareness as a means of growth towards treatment goals.
