I work with teens and adults facing all kinds of challenges: anxiety, stress, life transitions, or that foggy sense that something isn’t quite right.
Things might look fine on the outside but inside, you feel off. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, shut down, or just stuck in a loop you can’t explain. You don’t need to have it all figured out, you just need a place to start.

I support individuals & couples with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-worth, & relationship challenges like navigating conflict or intimacy.
Whether it's crept up on you slowly or brought you to a crisis point, a lot of what brings individuals & couples to therapy is the same: a pattern that keeps repeating, and a sense of being stuck in it. That's the heart of what I do — helping you understand the pattern, & then actually do something different with it. I'm Kevin, a Registered Psychotherapist working with individuals & couples online across Ontario. My approach is warm but direct, and relational at its core: we look together at how these cycles took shape, how they once made sense, and at what it takes to create enough emotional safety to begin responding differently.

ADHD • Anxiety • Culture • Depression, Danya Hilmi
Pre-Licensed Professional
1 Endorsed
Mississauga, ON L5M
ADHD, anxiety, depression, and the weight of cultural or family expectations are my areas of special interest.
NEW Oct 6 - Are you the person your team routes the hard thing to, the daughter your parents brag about to extended family, the friend everybody texts in a crisis? On the outside people admire your accomplishments, but nobody sees how hard you try to please them, to "get it right", to not make a mistake. You know you'll get it all done, but not without doom-scrolling and procrastinating first. You have 50+ tabs open and it works… kind of? You don't know how to relax, because rest has to be earned. You lie in bed at 1am searching the symptoms of ADHD in women in incognito mode, because at home mental health is just an "excuse".

High-functioning but anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted?

My clients often come to me after years of coping on their own—or after previous therapy helped them understand their difficulties but didn’t create the change they were hoping for.

I primarily work with adults seeking support for presenting concerns, such as anxiety, OCD, life transitions, and interpersonal/relationship conflict.
Starting therapy can be intriguing, but the process can also be overwhelming. It is normal to wonder whether therapy will help or even if your therapist will understand you, especially if you are feeling stuck. I value and tailor evidence-based psychotherapy approaches to fit your individual needs. I see the client as the expert on their life. As I learn from you, you will learn of my expertise. Together, we will make your therapy goals your reality.

If you're having trouble expressing your emotions, maintaining healthy relationships, or moving on from a past experience, then I want to offer you some extra support. The past two years have been especially taxing for all of us, leaving many of us feeling stalled in our previous trajectories, and perhaps struggling to navigate the financial, emotional, and mental challenges that have emerged. This can make it feel like reaching your potential is less achievable. I use a culturally sensitive, collaborative, and client-centered approach to therapy that seeks to establish an environment of stability, trust, safety, and non-judgement.

I believe that when we come to therapy, we have the potential to heal ourselves. We are the masters of our own paths in life. It’s the circumstances in our lives—such as our social environment and various other factors—which can prevent us from living up to our full potential. I believe that through therapy, these hidden potentials can be realized. As a therapist, I act as a facilitator to help my clients see what they already have inside of them, foster self-acceptance, and help them reach their life goals through discovery of the self and of one’s own strengths.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
