Therapists in Gananoque, ON

Healing can be so messy, hard but so beautiful. On this path, I hope to guide you through the high and lows that come with being human. As a Black, muslim therapist, I use my own experiences coupled with my passion to predominantly provide support for folks struggling with depression and/or anxiety and those who are struggling with an eating disorder. My goal is to work with you in creating effective goals to get to the root of your problems to then reduce the symptoms you are experiencing, so you can live the life you want. I aim to create a positive and open space for you to safely navigate through your experiences.

I connect compassionately & deeply with people from a wide variety of cultures, religious backgrounds, and occupations. My clients report feeling safe to share their thoughts, experiences, however traumatic, and to express and transform intense emotions. I assist people to be their own authority by observing the conditioning that led to emotional suffering, relationship difficulties, self doubt and other challenges. Couples become allies in healing, personal growth, parenting lovingly, and advancing their careers and/or creative expression. My clients are interested in living joyfully and dissolving barriers to optimal living.

Currently accepting clients! Are you experiencing low mood, high stress, conflict in your relationships, and/or low self-esteem? I want to assure you that you are not alone. As a Registered Psychotherapist, my job is to help you navigate these difficult times through the use of evidence-based approaches. I believe every client has their individual set of strengths, and together we will work to highlight and incorporate them into the treatment plan.

Intersections Therapy Collective (ITC) is nestled in the heart of Ottawa's Centretown, easily accessible from East, West, and South of the city.

I'm glad you've found your way to my profile. As a registered social worker (RSW) and psychotherapist, I specialize in working with youth and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, family conflicts, LGBTQ+ specific needs, identity issues, and self-concept exploration. If you've hesitated to seek professional help due to the high cost of private counseling or stigma, I'm here to offer accessible and relationally focused psychotherapy and counseling. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals at different stages of life transitions.

Sometimes life can become riddled with many difficulties, and we may need a guiding hand to help diffuse our troubles and rediscover our deepest personal meanings and values. As a therapist, I help you face your tough battles whether they stem from the past, present or future. I strive to help you tap into your inner world, and rediscover yourself through your strengths. I understand that painful or stressful situations can leave one feeling out of control, or in chaos. I will support you by hearing your pain, empowering you, and working towards meaningful changes to alleviate that hardship.

Currently unable to take new clients. Will revisit in July 2024. I want to welcome you warmly to considering services of psychotherapy. When people are having a difficult time, or looking for ways to improve their lives, choosing a therapist can be a difficult process. My approach aims to identify, clarify and resolve issues in a supportive, collaborative, and caring way. During these very challenging times my clinic continues to provide support to clients via telephone and virtual video sessions. Any inquiry is welcomed. Service fees are 100% covered for eligible Veterans and Indigenous people across Canada.

I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as habits or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.

I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship challenges, and career and workplace difficulties. I specialize in the treatment of childhood and intergenerational trauma. I can help you calm dysregulated nervous system responses, deepen your understanding of yourself, increase emotional awareness and improve emotional regulation, work with you to confront and shift self-limiting beliefs and response patterns, and help you cultivate self-acceptance and self-love.

With over 10 years of experience providing mental health services in community-based organizations and school systems, I bring a strong mix of approaches to help you explore your strength and move ahead in life. My objective is to help individuals and couples to thrive and achieve success in their personal lives and intimate relationships. I respect the uniqueness of every individual through active listening skills, empathy, and open-mindedness towards a variety of lifestyles and situations. I take a holistic approach with care and affection that allows for a safe, and comfortable space for clients to work in collaboration with me.
