I am a registered social worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and I have been helping people for over 20 years. I have worked in various settings such as mental health and general hospitals, elementary schools, violence against women organizations, settlement and child protection agencies. I have extensive experience working with adults around topics such as intimate partner violence, relationship challenges, settlement, grief, trauma, loss and PTSD, anxiety, depression, identity issues, perinatal health & wellbeing, and parenting issues. I offer a client-centered and integrative approach to my work , drawing on various modalities to meet the needs of my clients.

My name is Greig Perantinos and I’m a social worker at the Toronto Centre for Emotional Health.

 I have a strong interest in mindfulness and applying neuroscience-based techniques to improve mental health, aiming to help individuals achieve a greater sense of calmness in both body and nervous system. When working with clients, my approach is relaxed, centered on their needs, and collaborative.

Before entering social work, I gained experience in the corporate sector and later founded a successful business as an entrepreneur. These experiences allow me to empathize with the stressors and obstacles often encountered with high-stress careers.
