Welcome! I work with career-minded people who struggle with ADHD, Anxiety, Trauma and Substance Use. I work with people who are in high-pressure or creative fields who feel they can be doing better, but struggle to get there on their own. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can explore concerns and learn tools to cope. I understand everyone is at a different place in their journey, and I’ll meet you where you are at. I feel fortunate to have worked in many settings that uplift 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC populations.

As a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, I am a firm believer that clinical practitioners can empower their clients to become experts in their own mental health. With a background in psychoeducation and anthropology, I work in collaboration with my clients to build and manifest workable skill sets while acquiring new and different perspectives about their struggles. As an IFS and TOOLS-based therapist (Stutz and Michels), I aim to inspire the unlimited spiritual/physical/intellectual potential inside each person, which is where true transformation can occur.

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. I am here to be with you, even through the darkest of days, and help you find inspiration and hope within yourself.

I share a common human experience with my clients and appreciate our journeys. Maybe you're considering therapy to connect with someone non-judgmental and outside your personal support system; you're feeling uneasy or worrying about life; you're withdrawing from others and no longer find joy and pleasure; substance use or a habitual behaviour is getting in the way of meaningful relationships and meeting life’s challenges; or you experienced a major event in your life and you're feeling overwhelmed. We will endeavour to understand these challenges and I will support you in taking steps that would benefit you.

I am a culturally attuned psychotherapist fluent in English and Farsi. I offer you a unique perspective—one born from the experience of embracing two worlds. I understand intimately what it’s like to navigate the complexities of living between cultures, to feel the pull of traditions while embracing the freedoms of modernity. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is paramount, and I strive to create a warm and nurturing space where you feel valued and understood. Through collaborative efforts, you’ll discover the support and guidance necessary to heal, grow, and confidently embrace life’s challenges.

Many feel that their relationships, academic, or professional lives have become unmanageable because of stress, anxiety, or self-esteem challenges. Those with an ADHD diagnosis, or suspected ADHD, often grapple with feelings of overwhelm, rejection sensitivity, addictive behaviour, or a sense of not living up to their potential, while insomnia can rob us of our quality of life. As a therapist, I am here to help you find solutions to these problems. My clients often include working professionals, entrepreneurs, and students from the undergrad to PhD levels. Current weekday availability.

If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Accepting New Clients! With 8 years experience as a recreational therapist, I appreciate the immense relief that comes from connecting with someone who truly understands and supports you in navigating life's stressors and challenges. Whether you're facing a variety of issues or feeling swamped by a major event, rest assured, I'm here to offer a helping hand. Let's collaborate to turn your struggles into milestones on your path to a life filled with peace and empowerment. Together, we'll embrace hope as we journey towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.

If overwhelmed, stressed out, and anxious seem to be your common state of being, or if you are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness, or if despite all your best efforts you can't seem to get from where you are to where you want to be, leaving you feeling stuck; then therapy can provide you with a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood. We can uncover the root of why you are stuck and struggling, and discover the innate wellness and wisdom that resides within you, which can help create a new way of being in the present, so that your future can look like what you desire.

What if you could actually be happy every day? Hi I'm Dunn Kaufman, therapist & couples counselor. For over a decade, I have been helping people like you with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and/or other issues lead the life you know you can have. If you want more out of your life and haven't been able to do so on your own or with your current therapist, then be in touch.

In uncertain times you may feel overwhelmed by difficulties & feeling stuck. Many problems we experience are not our fault. I can help you effectively & quickly resolve relationship problems, sexual abuse trauma, feelings of betrayal, abandonment, social anxiety, self blame, self esteem, motivation & unsettling shame issues. Many times we lose our purpose in life & do not understand why we are plagued by unhelpful thoughts & feelings. By seeing me you will be understood even when your values may differ from your loved ones and others in your life. Contact me for a .5 hr initial consult & you will be relieved you did so.

You have tremendous power. The power to define your world, your relationships, your life. The power to be your true self. Yet, life can bring challenges that make us feel powerless. Passion can turn into doubt, fear, and anger. Love and joy can become pain and emptiness. For many of us, no single event alone changes us, but at some point, we find ourselves lost. I believe in the power of hope. I believe you can rediscover your strength, purpose, and sense of control. You can reclaim yourself—your courage, confidence, clarity, creativity, and compassion. I have hope that you can be who you want to be, no matter what comes your way.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** It’s a privilege and honour to be doing this work, and to walk alongside clients on their respective healing journeys. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and life experiences. By working collaboratively and through meaning-making, I aim to support clients in connecting with their needs, dreams, hopes, as well as to the answers I believe each person has inside them. My approach is trauma-informed, non-directive, strength-based, and client-centered. Healing, the discovery of possibilities, one’s resilience, and one's gifts can all be part of the therapy process.
