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...

​Experience

  • I have over 20 years of experience in counselling and psycho-educational assessments.
