MEET OUR CLIENT COORDINATOR
Malina Rucarean
BSW In Progress
Hello my name is Malina! I am currently in my fourth year of my Bachelors of Social Work at Carleton University. I have a passion for advocating and supporting individuals who are going through their mental health journey. While I have many career goals I would love to be a social worker in a hospital that focuses on mental health crisis intervention. I would also like to be a University Professor that helps guide and mentor future social workers. I look forward to working with you as your client coordinator!
Have you been debating starting therapy but have put it off for one reason or another? Has something recently happened and you’re looking for help right away? Feeling overwhelmed with the endless choices and options for therapists and therapeutic treatment options? Therapy takes effort, but getting started shouldn’t have to. With flexible bookings, a quick matching process, and a down-to-earth, welcoming approach, our mission is to make getting started with therapy, easy.
I'm here to help you find the right therapist, to get started on your journey to Bounce Back.
Meeting with me!
When meeting with me I like to create a safe space for my clients to be able to discuss what
is on their minds and work collaboratively towards setting common goals. By the end of the
consultation, I want you to feel confident in yourself in starting your mental health journey!
What happens in a consultation?!
Discuss your goals. We’ll start by determining what you’d like to work on in therapy and what’s brought you here! We just need a general idea of the topics for exploration and areas you’d like to focus on in therapy.
Get to know you. We’ll chat a bit about your day-to-day life, what you do and who you are. Finding the right therapist includes finding the right personality fit, so don’t be scared to let your personality shine!
Preferences. Whether you’ve been to therapy before or this is your first time, if you have any preferences about what type of therapist you want or what you might be specifically looking for, we’ll take note. No idea what you want or need? Don’t worry! No preferences required :)
Practical Stuff. We’ll spend some time discussing the practical aspects of therapy such as your availability, booking information and of course financial aspects of therapy such as prices, payments & benefits coverage.
Questions. Last but certainly not least, the consultation offers an opportunity for you to ask us any questions you may have about virtual/telephone therapy at Rebound, the process of getting started or anything you’re uncertain of!
