Who am I?
Hi, I'm Darius Cikanavicius, born in 1985 in Lithuania, currently living in Canada. Since my childhood I was always interested in language, human behavior, thought, relationships, one's inner experiences, and truth – both about the world and about myself. Before my therapeutic work, I was a freelance translator, editor, and writer, with a degree in philology. I have also tutored in language skills, writing, critical thinking, and emotional literacy.
For over a decade now I have been spreading awareness about mental health, rational thinking, healing, and personal improvement. In 2011, I started professionally working with people to help them heal, grow, and live happier and more fulfilled lives.
I am enthralled with self-improvement, personal freedom, and personal growth. I have spent an exceptional amount of time learning how the world works, working on myself, reading, writing, and analyzing the human condition and social relations. I also appreciate analyzing art (mainly movies, TV shows, books, and music), being in nature, climbing things, hiking, bicycling, playing a good video game, having conversations, taking pictures, laughing and joking around, and learning from life's experiences.
