Female Therapists in Toronto, ON

As a Clinical Psychologist, registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, and the Newfoundland and Labrador Psychology Board, I provide assessment and therapy including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) and mindfulness based approaches, for a range of difficulties including eating disorders (e.g. anorexia, binge eating disorder), anxiety (e.g. panic disorder, social phobia), trauma (e.g. PTSD), depression, borderline personality disorder (BPD) and emotional dysregulation.

My approach is empathetic and client-centred and I work from an anti-oppressive framework. Whatever brings you to therapy, and whether it's easy or difficult to talk about, my intentions are to meet you where you are at with sensitivity and care and to co-create a way of exploring your thoughts and feelings, and what they mean to you.

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Samira & I offer a safe space where you can be heard and understood. Although seeking therapy may be difficult and quite intimidating at first - it’s one of the bravest things you can do - to take that step in order to understand your own story and start the healing process and journey. It definitely takes a lot of courage! Understanding this, I strive to provide a compassionate, safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for you to feel comfortable to unburden yourself when it comes to the most personal and intimate parts of your life – one where you can explore and better understand yourself.

Recent years have not been kind to our mental health. As we come out of this pandemic, it is natural to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even inadequate compared to those who seem to be moving forward with ease. As a result, you may be questioning your level of connection in your relationships and home-life, perhaps your ability as a parent. Are you yearning for change but feel unable to find the motivation to initiate a plan of action? Are you wishing to be the source of support that your loved ones need but lack direction for how to fulfill this role as a parent or caregiver?

I have been working for 20 years in children, adolescent, and family mental health as a registered social worker and Child, Youth and Family Therapist, facilitator, and consultant. I specialize in children’s and family therapy, with particular expertise in helping families and youth with complex mental health needs that impact their ability to manage at home, in school, or both. My goal is to improve the overall functioning of families and each family member, instil hope for a brighter future, and foster resiliency. I create a safe and supportive space, and help you/your family navigate these challenges and to develop/use skills.

My clients are individuals and couples seeking practical skills to improve communication, practice boundary setting, or working toward a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. My clients are diverse in race, religion, sexuality, age, and gender expression. My clients are people interested in learning more about themselves and how their worldview has been shaped.

Does your relationship lack passionate love, or require healing from wounds? Are you wanting to develop more self-esteem, communication skills and confidence? Do you desire a fulfilling life but don't know how to create it? Is your connection to God important to you? Maybe you want to improve your relationship but your partner isn't willing to join therapy. Whether your story is one that includes a mental health diagnosis or not, and whether you are looking for therapy by yourself or with your partner, there is so much possibility for momentum towards the things you desire. I commit to working hard to support you and your goals.

Imagine a space where you feel heard, seen, and believed. Where your feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or uncertainty have their time to be processed. I know, life can be a lot at times. Taking next steps can be challenging; the courage you bring to being here is your first! Welcome to my space. Here we create a welcoming, supportive, and empathic environment. I offer a mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, integrated approach to healing anxiety, trauma, and the challenge of life transitions. I walk alongside my clients to nurture self-awareness and acceptance of all aspects of Self.

I am a registered therapist with over ten years experience working in mental health. I work from a client-centered approach integrating evidence-based practice with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. I provide clients with a non-judgmental, safe environment that facilitates openness and encourages self-exploration. I am trained in using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); encouraging clients to explore the inter-relatedness between thoughts, behaviours and emotions while helping identify maladaptive patterns.

I often work alongside people who feel that they don’t quite fit in: Teens and young adults who would identify themselves as creatives, and who have a unique set of struggles and strengths. Some are dealing with issues related to identity and self-understanding, and others are doing their best to manage the depth and complexity of their emotional landscape. I see a lot of deep thinkers, over-analyzers, perfectionists, and clients battling self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Anxiety and/or ADHD symptoms can be intertwined with these struggles.

I work with clients who struggle with feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lonely, or frustrated with life’s challenges and who are ready to take the first step in their journey toward change and self-healing. I specialize in understanding, unblocking, & managing your emotions, trauma, identity & self-esteem, family of origin issues, and relational issues. From building strategies to sorting through your past, I am here for it and would be happy to walk with you as your therapist to help you find an adaptive, life-giving path forward.
