Therapists in Ravenna, ON

As a racialized, non-binary Muslim immigrant from Pakistan, my specialty includes the intersection of queerness and racialization. I also excel with clients who occupy diasporic identities, identify as immigrants or children of immigrants, and want to discuss intergenerational connections and traumas. As a radical therapist, I intentionally include a macro perspective in the work I do; this can mean acknowledging oppressive systems including imperialism, capitalism, and colonialism and how they make it difficult to establish resilient and communal mental health.

As being a Muslim woman, mother, and first generation Canadian, I found it’s difficult to navigate through too many roles and responsibilities that lead us towards facing many mental health issues of anxiety, depression, stress, and low self esteem, at times. I can help you with navigating through these challenges, staying focused, engaged, working towards and achieving your life goals as well as in attaining an authentic self. I have graduated in Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology, qualified to provide virtual counselling and psychotherapy under the supervision of an approved supervisor.

The pressure is soul-crushing. Life looks great on paper but you’re burnt out. You were expected to be the perfect child. Speak and act right, best the best, achieve. Mistakes meant you failed. As an adult, there’s no room for rest. You’ll be bored. Seen as weak. It’s exhausting keeping up the façade. You’ve tried therapy to help with your stress, overwhelming thoughts, and unhappiness, but you were overbooked. You tried to squeeze it in, but finding the right therapist who didn’t judge felt impossible. I understand because I’ve been where you are. I was bullied at school and work, told “Get lost you Paki, go home to your country.”

As human we are Spirit beings with a Mind and Body. creating a balance between these three elements is essential to live a healthier life. Issues like depression, anxiety, or compulsive thought and behaviors needs a treatment plan that includes these three elements. We are also governed by our cultural values and norms, so providing culturally and religiously sensitive therapy is very important especially with interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts.

I always approach my clients in with an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, harm reduction framework. What does that mean? It means that I will always ask "what happened to you?" instead of asking "what's wrong with you?". It also means that I will always respect you as the expert in your own life. Finally, it means that I believe that everyone does their very best to survive and thrive each day–even on the days that we can't see any hope.
