You might know where home is, but find yourself stuck in darkness, not being able to find your way. As your therapist, I see myself holding the flashlight. You are the one who knows your way to healing, and I have the tools to help get you there easier. This is what I believe therapy looks like; us walking together on your journey.

Hello and welcome! I am Dr. Subie. I work with adults across Ontario. I provide treatment for various difficulties including: trauma and PTSD, depression, grief, anger, anxiety, OCD, worry, work stress, interpersonal problems, insomnia, and psychosis (e.g., schizophrenia).

I help individuals manage anxiety and overthinking, self-esteem issues, work-life balance, and life transitions to better control their lives and feel more confident in their abilities. I also support individuals with relationship-related concerns through both individual and couples therapy sessions. As part of my practice, I often work with multicultural individuals through a culturally sensitive approach to help them navigate any conflicting cultural values so that they can embrace their unique identities.

I believe that everyone deserves to live a happy and meaningful life. Seeking out support can be difficult, and so I appreciate the courage and vulnerability of clients when it comes to doing so. I am passionate about fostering a positive therapeutic relationship and collaboratively working with clients to help them meet their therapeutic goals. I offer support in an environment that is safe, non-judgmental, accepting, and empathetic, which can nurture clients’ independence, trust, growth, and healing. I utilize an integrated, holistic, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and person-centred approach.
