Virgil Frusescu

Registered Provisional Psychologist

As a psychologist, I believe that gaining insight into ourselves is vital in exploring and understanding our own unique experiences and views of the world. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults in exploring their own mental health concerns in a holistic and client-centered approach.
