ABOUT DR. SYRAS DERKSEN
MY PHILOSOPHY
Helping people reach their goals has always been a passion of mine. I believe creating a safe space to explore deep concerns is key to making lasting changes. In this setting, my clients often gain insights into difficult situations, experiencing a new awareness that regularly resolves what once 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.
