Dr. Roman Reznikov received his Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology and Neurobiology from the University of Toronto in 2012. His interest in brain science led him to complete a Masters degree in Neuroscience at the Institute of Medical Science (UofT) where he was investigating the effects of Deep Brain Stimulation in a preclinical model of PTSD. His work was presented internationally and has been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals including Neuropsychopharmacology and the Journal of Psychiatric Research. Subsequently, he received his Medical Degree from McMaster University where he explored the fields of Psychiatry, as well as Family Medicine. Roman’s interest in a more balanced and holistic approach to health led him towards Family Medicine training which he completed at the University of Calgary in 2020. By chance (or Higher Power), he stumbled upon the HUM team and was exposed to the Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual approach to mental health and Addiction. Witnessing the holistic nature and clinical effectiveness of this framework inspired him to pursue further training with the HUM team. Currently his professional time is split between working as GP in Airdrie and providing individual and group psychotherapy at HUM.
He is passionate about the outdoors, specifically Alpine Skiing and fishing, and enjoys reading various topics including philosophy, psychology, self-discovery, and science fiction. He has a regular meditation practice which has made a very positive impact on his life. He is also the co-parent of a cat named Binx, which he shares with his fiancé, Sasha.
