From 2016 to 2024, Dr. Todorow worked at Kinark Child and Family Services in various roles, including Staff Psychologist and Clinical Lead within the Child and Youth Mental Health Program.

In addition to her role as Clinic Director at WellSpirit Psychology, Dr. Todorow works part-time at Anishnawbe Health Toronto (AHT) and has led their multidisciplinary FASD diagnostic team since 2019. She is privileged to work closely with traditional healers and other community members, and is continually seeking out and integrating knowledge of Indigenous culture and practices into her clinical work.
Dr. Todorow has experience working with children and youth presenting with a wide range of mental health and neurodevelopmental challenges (e.g., anxiety, depression, ADHD, LD, ASD, complex trauma), including individuals involved in the child welfare system. She has over a decade of research and clinical experience in the field of FASD, and this continues to be an area of passion for her today. Her clinical practice is rooted in a culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed, and strength-based model of care. Over the years, she has cultivated her ability to strategically integrate various evidence-based therapies (e.g., CBT, TF-CBT, DBT) and adapt their delivery for neurodiverse children and youth. Dr. Todorow currently provides assessment, therapy, parent consultation/training, and professional consultation/supervision services. She is also actively involved in supervising graduate students and serves as the Associate Director and Supervisor for the Wikwemikong Health Centre within the Northern Ontario Psychology Internship Consortium (NORPIC).
On a personal note, Dr. Todorow is the proud mother of two young children and loves spending time playing and exploring the world with them. Her hobbies include cooking, sewing, interior design, and fashion. She is particularly skilled at weaving her playful and creative side into her therapy work, especially when connecting with children and youth.
