About Fabio Rancevas
Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario (Qualifying), MA, BA
As a psychotherapist in Ontario, I’ve always been fascinated by human behavior — what motivates us, how we navigate relationships, and how we find meaning in difficult circumstances. My journey to psychotherapy began in an unexpected place: management consulting. Working on conflict resolution, human resources, and organizational change gave me deep insight into personal and professional growth.
My academic background reflects this passion for human nature. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, with an honors thesis focused on the intersection of ethics and economics. My exploration of moral philosophy, virtue ethics, and human flourishing naturally led me to deepen my engagement with psychology and the therapeutic process. I later completed a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, which expanded my understanding of the human person and strengthened my clinical skills.

About Maria del Rosario
Educational & Career Coach, B.Ed.
As an educator and coach, I believe education is about more than academics—it’s about cultivating strengths, virtues, and a lifelong love of learning. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and have worked as a teacher, curriculum planner, and student mentor in schools across Argentina, Brazil, and Canada.
My passion for personalized education led me to specialize in Differentiated Education in Spain, where I explored how to tailor learning experiences to each student’s needs. As a homeschooling mother, I continuously refine my approach to strength-based learning and student-centered education.
