Zinta Auzins - Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Zinta’s Story

Zinta always felt pulled towards a career in therapy, even when she was in high school. She was fascinated by people - why we think the ways we do, why we feel what we feel, and how our experiences impact us.

While Zinta thought training as a therapist would be a good fit, she also felt that getting to know herself and gain life experience were important to pursue first. She obtained an undergraduate degree and worked in another field for several years before circling back to her dream of becoming a therapist.

Now, after a Bachelors degree in psychology, and a Master’s degree in psychotherapy, Zinta helps clients navigate all the hard parts about being a human in our modern world.

What does Zinta help with?

Zinta helps her clients with the following:

  • anxiety, stress, and burnout

  • relationship issues, whether these be with friends, family, romantic partners, or co-workers (she also offers in-person couples therapy!)
