Registered Psychologists

Daryl Ternowski, Ph.D., R.Psych.

Dr. Daryl Ternowski is a Registered Psychologist (#1672) who sees clients at offices in Vancouver and North Vancouver.

In my private practice I have helped my clients with a number of issues, including anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, disordered eating, impulsive behaviors, grief and abuse/trauma. Many people I work with are functioning well in many parts of their life, but choose to participate in psychotherapy because they want to be more skilled at dealing with certain issues and to improve their overall quality of life.

Over the years I have worked hard to develop my assessment and treatment skills. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Simon Fraser University. I have also worked in a number of professional settings, including forensic facilities, universities, hospital based treatment programs, and in private practice. The benefit of these experiences for you is having a treatment provider who is well educated and experienced. I also continue to put an emphasis on continued professional development. Also critically important is that I genuinely care about the people I work with and am not judgmental.

What happens in treatment depends on what brings you in, and what you are looking for. For some concerns, my approach is structured and skills based (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT). At other times, my approach is “dynamically” oriented, and focuses on changing current symptoms by working through longstanding interpersonal and emotional conflicts. In the first few sessions I work with people to understand the nature of their concern and together discuss how we might approach making things better.

You may call me directly at 604-219-0381 to discuss setting up an initial appointment, or to answer any questions you might have. Also, please go to my website, www.drternowski.com for more information.
