Liza Finlay RP M.A., Ph.D.

Liza was introduced to psychotherapy as a teen, when a therapist transformed her life. Since then, she’s picked up the mantle and devoted herself to helping others achieve the same inner growth and contentment. She believes that we all have the power to heal childhood trauma and become better and stronger. That’s a core value shared by the associates who work on Liza’s team. Between them, Liza and her team are practiced in Adlerian therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma, meditation, mindfulness, family systems, and parent education. Each will unpack the past to create a brighter tomorrow using all the tools in their toolbox.

Liza holds a master’s degree in counselling psychology and a PhD in general psychology. She conducts research, and teaches at the Adler Graduate School of Psychology. A passionate believer in social equality and social justice, Liza serves on the board of ALFREDS, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and communities. You can also hear Liza on CBC’s Here & Now where she addresses listeners’ parenting issues.
