In our society, race, gender, class, immigration status (and so much more) influence our experience of mental health and wellness. Many people strive to find care providers who are passionate about decolonizing and destigmatizing conventional beliefs about mental health care. Perhaps you’re one of those people. You’ve been looking for care that incorporates advocacy, empowerment, and a space where you can explore your identity, unmute your voice, and show up authentically. You’ve been searching for a therapist who will centre your experience, help you process traumas, and support you in achieving your most meaningful life goals.

I embody an anti-oppressive practice that is rooted in the idea that healing is a collaborative process. Together, we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Drawing upon EMDR and other trauma-focused therapies, dialectical-behaviour therapy, and cognitive-behavioural therapy, we will embark on a journey curated by both of us to support you.

You deserve a therapist who welcomes you for exactly who you are, one who will help you show up authentically in your life. Whether you want to overcome past traumas, strengthen coping, communication, or boundary setting, or explore your identity and how it intersects with society, I am here to walk alongside you with compassionate support and dedication.

Amy Parsons

Registered Social Worker, BA, BSW, MSW, RSW, RCSW-S

Dayirai's anti-oppressive focus makes her the kind of therapist that looks beyond mental health, exploring the social and environmental factors that make us who we are. She's incredibly skilled and an ideal therapist for someone who is ready to "dig deep".

Shayla S Dube

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, RCSW, RSW, MSW, BSW

I highly endorse Dayirai as a coworker with top-notch expertise in psychotherapy, clinical supervision, speaking, authorship, and psychoeducation/workshop facilitation. She practices from an anti-oppressive and culturally humble lens.
