Hello! I’m Carmen Okhmatovski. Welcome to Metamorphosis. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you. It is difficult to reach out as well as make a decision about whom to entrust with your journey. The fact that you’re here shows strength and is a courageous first step. You’ve already begun on your way.

Therapy is my passion, and connecting with others is where I find purpose. To me, the essence of therapy is being with through the struggles, the pain, and the joys. There is nothing I love more than seeing my clients living happier, more fulfilled lives because of the work we have done together.

A little bit more about me: I live in Winnipeg with my four fantastic children and two lazy cats. I am a lover of languages; I’ve studied many, but have only retained skills in Spanish. I love everything about autumn – the chill, the colors, the smell of fallen leaves, the cozy sweaters, and the apple cider and pumpkin pie. I love to travel, and do so whenever I get the chance; most of my travel is to see my family, who live nowhere close to Winnipeg. I am a gardener who talks to her plants, and a woodworking do-it-yourselfer who is still learning her own limits.

I completed my undergrad at University of Illinois, and am currently finishing my training as a marriage and family therapist at the University of Winnipeg’s Master’s of Marriage and Family Therapy program. I have extensive experience as clinician for Winnipeg’s children and youth with complex trauma, and have spent the last couple of years as a therapist to youth and families in rural and northern Manitoba.

Just as my clients are committed to personal development, I am committed to and seek further development as a therapist. I am a Brainspotting Practitioner, which allows me to facilitate deeper healing through brain-body processing. I am also a Registered Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator, enabling me to support parents in creating stronger, healthier bonds with their children. In addition, I’ve completed the Mindful Self Compassion training, which has been beneficial both in my personal and professional lives, equipping me to work with clients to practice calm and extend compassion to themselves as well as others.

I wish you the very best along your way. Whether here or elsewhere, I hope you find the help, the change, the peace, the healing, and the happiness that you are looking for.

To take the next step with me, you may book an appointment here, or CONTACT me to see if working together is the right fit for you. I look forward to hearing from you.
