Lina is dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges, manage stress, and improve daily functioning. She holds two bachelor's degrees in psychology, one from the Middle East and the other from the University of Saskatchewan. That allows her to provide services in both English and Arabic. Currently, she is completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University while training at CMAP Health and Unified CBT Academy. She is a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). Send an email to set an appointment today.
Lina has experience working in the Middle East, the United States, and Canada with diverse populations, including individuals with autism, caregivers, older adults managing chronic illnesses, and newcomers adjusting to new environments.
Lina focuses on creating a confidential, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions. While her primary interests are in CBT and psychodynamic therapy, she tailors her approach to each client's unique needs and goals. She believes that with the right tools and support, meaningful change is possible.

I often use CBT in my practice. However, in our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
