Aviva Mayers was born in the UK, raised in Canada, and has worked as a clinical social worker in Canada, the UK, the US , and Norway. She trained as a psychoanalyst in New York, and subsequently pursued a doctorate at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Aviva now lives in Toronto where as a psychoanalyst she offers psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and sex therapy to individuals and couples in her private practice. She feels her experience with breast cancer has taught her that if we take responsibility for our own health by informing ourselves and employing interventions that make sense to us, we can improve our health and transform our lives.
