Meet Dr. Rosemary Rukavina: EMDR and Relationship Psychologist based out of Burnaby, British Columbia

Dr. Rosemary Rukavina is a Licensed Psychologist in British Columbia with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s degree in Counselling. She has over 15 years of clinical experience across complex systems, including corrections, child and youth mental health, and family services. This background informs a careful, trauma-informed approach grounded in both clinical depth and real-world complexity. In addition to her practice, Dr. Rukavina teaches graduate-level courses in clinical psychology and counselling.

Dr. Rukavina specializes in EMDR therapy and offers both weekly therapy and EMDR intensives in Burnaby and virtually across British Columbia and the Yukon. Her work emphasizes readiness, stabilization, and a strong therapeutic relationship as essential conditions for meaningful trauma processing. She works most often with individuals navigating childhood/attachment trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, addiction, and significant life transitions.

She is also a Certified Gottman Method Therapist and works with couples seeking repair after betrayal, chronic conflict, emotional disengagement, or repeated communication breakdowns. Her couples work is structured, evidence-based, and attentive to power dynamics, attachment injuries, and trauma histories that shape relational patterns. Dr. Rukavina’s style is thoughtful, direct, and relational. She values clarity, respect, and psychological safety, and works collaboratively with clients rather than from a prescriptive stance. Her practice welcomes individuals and couples from diverse identities and backgrounds.
