Accepting new relationship clients
Yakov Iliabaev
Co-Head Clinician / MACP, Registered Psychotherapist
For couples caught in the same argument, and for partners learning a different way through it.
Working with Yakov.
Yakov is Co-Head Clinician of Trust Therapy and Relationship Clinic and works with couples and families on the patterns that keep repeating: the argument that always lands in the same place, the conversation that stops before it starts. He brings a solution-focused lens to the emotional needs underneath the conflict, and offers particular understanding to partners navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, and the parenting load alongside their relationship.

About Yakov.
What I offer to my clients is a safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment where they can gain a greater insight on their core strengths and values to help them achieve their therapeutic goals. As someone with ADHD who grew up with a brother with Autism, I can relate to the challenges faced by my clients. Through these experiences, I have become confident that I can help you navigate through tough times. As a therapist, my goal is to help guide individuals through a solution focused lens, introduce new perspectives, and challenge their thought patterns, all while understanding their emotional needs. One of the hardest things to do is ask for help but there is always growth in discomfort. Reach out to me today for a free consultation!
