Tanja Ivic is a Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree, and she is registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Prior to earning her master’s degree, Tanja completed Bachelors degrees in both Social Work and Social Development Studies, in the latter of which she also completed a minor in Religious Studies.

Tanja possesses a solid work foundation in Social Work and direct care support, community development, and research and education, both nationally and internationally. She has over ten years of experience in supporting children, youth, and adults with a wide variety of challenges, including mental illness, physical and developmental disabilities, trauma, addiction, and everyday struggles.

As someone who has personally struggled with mental health and has sought support, Tanja is a strong believer in the journey of healing. She is inspired to alleviate distress in others, and has discovered a passion for professional counselling along the way. She has a personal investment in being a part of initiatives that aim to provide individuals from all walks of life with services that validate their personal struggles and empower them to recognize their strengths and resilience.

Tanja prides herself in creating a safe and trustworthy space for her clients, with a focus on authenticity and transparency. She believes healing begins with the acceptance of the self as a whole and without judgement. Dedicated to helping, Tanja is a highly empathetic person who takes time to genuinely connect with and help her clients cultivate their inner strength, and reclaim their power, so they may start manifesting the reality they want to see rather than just coping and surviving.

When not working, Tanja loves to meditate and explore her spiritual wellness. She is a strong believer in the mind, body, and soul connection, and spends a lot of her spare time exercising, sourcing healthy foods, and expanding her knowledge in holistic healing. Tanja also enjoys the outdoors, walking her dog, listening to music, and occasionally skateboarding.
