Danika Faig, MA, RP(Q)

Danika is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Her approach to therapy is person-first and collaborative, helping clients identify their goals, meet themselves where they are, and build on their strengths.

She believes that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful growth. By creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment, Danika helps clients explore challenges and discover approaches that best fit their needs.

Danika provides therapy to children (ages 4+), teens, adults, couples and families. When working with children, she incorporates play therapy to help them express emotions and experiences in ways that feel natural and familiar. She has a special interest in supporting teens and young adults navigating self-esteem, relationships, stress, and identity. Her understanding of youth culture helps her connect with young clients in authentic, relatable ways that make therapy feel more comfortable and empowering. Her work draws on person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and the biopsychosocial model to support emotional well-being, resilience, and self-awareness.

Danika holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Criminology from the University of Ottawa. Outside the clinic, she enjoys reading, travelling, spending time with her family, and relaxing with her cat.
