Inclusive Intersectional Counselling Online

Let’s take a moment to acknowledge that being human in the modern world is hard.

Experiencing pain, suffering, difficult thoughts and feelings aren't signs that you’re “failing”. They are the mind’s and body's natural response to a fast, unpredictable, and often exhausting world. It's completely normal to have moments where you feel like you’re hitting a wall—in your job, career, relationships, or just life overall.

These feelings are a natural part of being human and often signal that something needs your attention. Whatever it is, you don’t have to go through it alone. In fact, when we’re left alone with difficult thoughts and feelings they tend to feel even bigger and more overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to reach out for guidance and compassion during those times.

I’m Dr. Greta Mikneviciute, a psychologist and counsellor providing a safe, kind, and compassionate space for those difficult moments. My role isn't to help you get rid of them, but to walk alongside you through the mess to help you overcome life’s obstacles with newly-found clarity and strength. With genuine support, these challenging moments can become opportunities for deeper connection to yourself and others.

Together, we’ll draw on your unique strengths and life experiences to help you build a life of your own making.

My Counselling Services

My practice is an inclusive space for individuals navigating life's complexities, with a focus on how your unique identity intersects with your environment.

I am here to support you with:

Navigating Life Transitions, Identity & Belonging

Life Transitions

Whether you're leaving home, entering the job market, changing or in-between jobs, navigating a breakup/divorce, or facing other significant life shifts, I can help build a steady anchor as you move through these difficult transitions.

Parental Transitions

I support new parents navigating the profound identity change of parenthood, as well as adult children learning to relate to their aging parents.

Identity Exploration

We can work together to help you find ways to express complex and sometimes conflicting emotions related to your social roles and identities.

Immigrants & International Students Support

I counsel those who have left their social support systems behind and are adapting to new cultures and environments.

Navigating Stress, Trauma & Systemic Injustice

Stress Regulation & Resourcing

You want to better regulate your stress and build resilience by making use of the resources available to you.

Intergenerational Trauma & Systemic Stressors

We identify and gently process the psychological impacts of systemic stress and inherited family patterns. We explore how rigid emotional rules and beliefs (like scarcity or conflict avoidance) still dictate your behavior today. We then focus on building clear boundaries that allow you to reclaim your narrative and consciously break the cycle.

Support for Marginalized Individuals

I offer a safe, affirming, and anti-oppressive space for those who face systemic barriers or do not feel seen within mainstream Western healthcare. My goal is to center and honor your unique lived experience.

Cultivating Purpose, Meaning & Connection

Personal Growth & Meaning-Making

I support anyone seeking to understand themselves better, clarify their values, and create a more rich, fulfilling, and meaningful life.

Building Connections & Community

We explore ways for you to move from a place of loneliness and isolation toward fostering more authentic connections to create community and belonging in your life.

My Approach in Practice

  • My personal favorite, focuses on helping you live a more meaningful life by changing your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to get rid of them.

  • Helps you move from a state of overwhelm to a place of greater presence, grounding, and regulation. Works to help you (re-)connect with your body and release physical sensations often linked to emotional stress and trauma.

  • Based on existential philosophy, existential therapies are a spectrum of therapeutic practices helping clients acknowledge, live "in tune with", and make the most of the actuality of their existences.

  • We go beyond the clinical labels. We look at the context of your survival and honor the intelligence of your body’s responses. The goal is to create a safe and validating environment that rebuilds a sense of control and agency for trauma survivors. 

  • I may sometimes make use of specific elements of classic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful for building concrete practical skills (e.g. mindfulness, behavioral activation, tracking moods, habits, and behaviors)

I was trained in Integrative Clinical Psychology meaning that I don't work with a one-size-fits-all approach. My approach is tailored to respect your specific needs, cultural background, personal beliefs, preferences and sensitivities.

I follow a strictly non-pathologizing posture that views psychological distress as a natural, functional response to pain and suffering that are inevitable in life—not a disorder to be "fixed" or eradicated.

I approach my work with humility and a deep commitment to ongoing learning. Your experiences will always be central, helping to shape and refine my practice.

I am dedicated to unlearning biases and assumptions, ensuring that our work together is always respectful, authentic, and based on mutual trust.

What Makes INTERSECT Psych Services Unique?

Multilingual Support

Services are available in four different languages — EN, FR, IT, LT — to ensure comfort and clarity for diverse clients.

Commitment to Accessibility (Sliding Scale Contribution Model)

By choosing INTERSECT Psych Services you support a community-centered, inclusive practice, making psychological counseling more accessible to everyone. Clients who contribute above the minimum fee actively participate in a "pay it forward" model, helping to subsidize services for those who could otherwise not afford the minimum price. I perform a portion of my work through volunteer and community initiatives, which are made possible by these contributions.

Personal Lived Experience

My own journey as an immigrant coming from a post-Soviet country, who has moved several times during crucial life transitions, brings a profound empathy and understanding to the challenges of adaptation, identity, and belonging. I now understand that true belonging comes not from neglecting parts of ourselves, but from embracing and honoring all of our intersecting identities.

Rigorous Open-Mindedness

While I value evidence-based psychological interventions and the rigorous academic training I had the privilege to receive, I also acknowledge their limitations and criticize their misuse as tools to impose views that further oppress (already marginalized) groups of people. I'm committed to honoring other ways of producing knowledge—from the collective wisdom and lived experiences of marginalized people to more holistic, ancestral, and spiritual practices—without dismissing or invalidating them.

Commitment to Mental-Health Advocacy & Liberation

A fierce dedication to intersectionality, using psychological knowledge as a tool for liberation, rather than pathologisation and oppression.
