ABOUT DR. SYRAS DERKSEN
Helping people reach their goals has always been a passion of mine. I enjoy creating a safe place to explore deep issues is key to making lasting changes. In this setting, my clients often have insights into difficult issues. These experiences of new awareness regularly resolve issues that seemed hopeless.
GIVING BACK
In 2004, I developed a healing communication workshop. Community groups, church groups, and business groups have participated in these workshops in Canadian and international settings.
The program is designed to train people to help others who are suffering and to become better at building and maintaining relationships. Contact my office if you are interested in learning more about healing communication.
