Hi, I’m Elmira Meamar, a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada, with over a decade of experience helping children, adolescents, and families navigate life's emotional and psychological challenges. I hold a PhD in Psychology and specialize in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and play therapy. My goal is to create a supportive, and non-judgmental space where young people feel empowered to express their emotions and develop coping strategies.
I understand that parenting can be overwhelming, especially when your child is struggling. That’s why I work collaboratively with parents, offering guidance and tools to support their child’s growth at home and in everyday life. Together, we can foster a positive environment where healing and personal development are possible.
Whether your child is facing anxiety, trauma, behavioral challenges, or emotional difficulties, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to nurture their potential and create lasting, meaningful change for your family.
