Arthur Tiojanco, RCC
Arthur specializes in working with children, youth, couples, and individual adults who are facing challenges in their lives such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, and emotional regulation.
He strives to create a safe and supportive space that is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration where clients will be heard, empowered, and understood.
As a community-minded therapist, he brings years of experience with children and youth within the school system, as well as his own lived experiences as a second-generation Filipino-Canadian. He grounds his therapy practice in a trauma-informed approach and centers his theoretical orientation around attachment theory with a psychodynamic perspective. When working with clients, he stays curious and non-judgmental. He employs a curated approach of support techniques depending on the client’s presenting issues during his sessions.
Outside of the therapy room, Arthur is a respected member of the street dance community. You can often find him hosting events, DJing, and dancing! He loves snowboarding, travelling, and spending time with his family and friends.
