David Sazant

Clinic Director, RP (Qualifying)

You have a deep-seated feeling that you are meant for greater things – a feeling that given the right environment, and the right circumstances, you can thrive. But you haven’t quite experienced this yet in reality, and for one reason or another, life hasn’t yet “come together” as well as you thought it should have. Either your relationships haven’t progressed or you haven’t found satisfaction at work — or both! As a result, your days are stressful, exhausting, and it feels like this cycle of defeat and disappointment won’t end. But the cycle can end.

I’ve been there. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a litigator, arguing in courtrooms and boardrooms across Ontario. Feeling lost, unfulfilled, and inadequate, it didn’t take long before I realized that my career choice was driven by other people’s expectations and perceptions rather than what made me feel capable, strong, and valuable. I decided to make a bold change. I left my litigation career, went back to school, and found my calling.

I know what it is to feel aimless, unworthy, and without a purpose. However, through developing a keen understanding of myself, my skills, and my values, I have cultivated more confidence, self-awareness, and self-compassion so that I can live my life with intention and purpose rather than with resignation and defeat.

Now my mission is to help you do the same.

The therapy journey to finding yourself again will include:

• Understanding where your self-limiting beliefs come from.

• Observing patterns in your past experiences, behaviours, and reactions to stressors.

• Developing the courage to be vulnerable and to try new things.

• Becoming keenly acquainted with your strengths and learning to cultivate your new life around those strengths.

I invite you to reach out to me (David), so that we can begin the process of helping you find yourself again. I look forward to meeting you.
