Mila Loskutova
Hi! My name is Mila Loskutova, and I am a registered clinical counsellor located in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I specialize in areas such as OCD, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions.
My approach is warm, nonjudgmental and sprinkled with dry humour. I use evidence-based techniques to help my clients build resilience, cope with life’s challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. My approach to therapy is grounded in cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioural (DBT), existential and relational approaches.
My experiences as a queer person and a first-generation immigrant shape my approach to therapy. I have a deep understanding of how different identities and systems shape the way we move through the world. I welcome folks of all genders, sexualities and relationship structures. I am also sex-positive and kink-informed.
