Grinman Psychology
About Me
Welcome to Grinman Psychology...
My name is Mariana Grinman. I am a Registered Psychologist in both Alberta and Ontario. I have been working within the psychology field since 2002.
I am fluent in English and Spanish.
My goal is to help you on a journey towards self-discovery by drawing from various proven, evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Together we will explore barriers from your past and present life that prevent you from attaining the path that you were meant to travel.
I hope to have the honour of helping you overcome life's obstacles...
