Online Counselling for Ontario

Have you been feeling sad, anxious, alone, or discouraged? Are you searching for ways to improve the quality of your life and your relationships? Often, we may feel stuck in a place from which we cannot escape. I know how hard and painful this can be, but you don't have to go through this alone. Reaching out for professional support to navigate your emotional, behavioural, and relationship challenges can be life changing. Together, we will walk this journey in a calm, non-judgmental, and supportive space!

With over 35 years in mental health and addiction services, I bring a strong mix of approaches to help you find your way forward. Integrating CBT, mindfulness, coaching, insight and body-based therapies, together we will build ways that work for you. Our therapeutic work can help you climb out of whatever difficult emotional spot you're in and build the life you're dreaming of. I believe “fit” is essential and offer a free phone consultation to help determine who is the right fit for you. We work with individuals (14 yr+), couples and poly relationships, and families.

Do you need someone to talk to? Are you overwhelmed? Have you been hurt by a person or institution and need help moving forward? I count it a privilege to listen with a non-judgmental heart and would be honoured to help you find relief and healing. Working from a Trauma-Informed Approach (TIA) can help clients gain a life-changing perspective on their past, present and hope for the future.

My clients dare to make changes because they want to feel like themselves again or they seek a better quality of life. Through varying approaches, I work to empower individuals to find solutions to overwhelming emotional challenges. These may be instances of divorce, abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, work/family stress, or cultural adaptation; all areas in which I have professional training and 29 years experience. In addition to being an EMDR therapist, I have a solid background in trauma work, and am a qualified Gottman and Emotion Focused couples therapist. I am formerly a Clinical Supervisor and School Mental Health Leader.

My counselling style is strengths-focused and client-centered. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Informed Therapy, Gottman Method, Narrative, ACT, Solution Focused Therapy, and incorporate Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy principles (MBCT). I focus on addressing present life challenges while integrating past experiences. My services are suitable for individuals, couples, and families that are feeling overwhelmed by their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. Reduced Fee for Service available with the Psychotherapy Intern.

Living with a dark, stormy cloud over your head is no way to live. If your cloud is taking away from your personal life or career, you may feel burdened, alone or misunderstood. It doesn't have to be that way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Interventions relieve anxiety, depression & stress, restore confidence, develop effective family relationships, and unlock personal potential. The solutions to your problems might be closer than you think. Why wait? (Midtown Counselling offers immediate bookings to new clients).

Hi, I’m Zahra, and I’d love to guide you on this bumpy road called life. I help Gen Z and Millennial clients improve their relationship with themselves, their ability to manage anxiety and stress, and help them feel more fulfilled with their life choices. This is about healing and strengthening from the inside, and most importantly, not alone. If this relates to you, I would be humbled in walking you through your journey of care.

Clients with depression, anxiety, substance abuse and broken relationships find my person-centered approach helpful. I listen and guide one's feelings so that the root of the problem surfaces for healing. Planning goals together gives the best outcome. Choosing to take notes and following through with home work always gives an advantage to progress to meeting goals.

****NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS IN VAUGHAN/MISSISSAUGA AND PHONE/VIDEO**** "I am not what has happened to me; I am what I choose to become" -Carl Jung. If you are stuck in the “I wish things had been different” mode,” and feel like there is little hope for change in your life; therapy provides an avenue to be heard, to grieve, to discover acceptance, and create a new future right now, as we work together to formulate small but consistent steps in the present. I believe that each person is unique and brings individualized strengths and skills to forge new paths in their lives and in their relationships. Together, we can reach your goals.

I feel grateful for the opportunity to offer my clients a safe and collaborative space where they can feel heard, supported and validated. In facing such difficult times, there is a need now more than ever to ensure we take care of our Mental Health. Each client has their own subjective experiences that deserve the chance to be explored and met with empathy. Together we can practice a way of coping that works specifically for you, and your needs.

I am a EMDR & Trauma specialist and if you notice irritability, anger and nightmares are taking control of your mood, relationships and passions, I can help. What if you could begin living your life for you, with the memories of the past still present but no longer sabotaging your day. I can support you overcome the heavy burden of trauma and increasing hope. I specialize in supporting First Responders and trauma with a focus in PTSI(D) as a stress injury and not a disorder.

I believe you are already holding the keys to experience and embrace the inner wholeness you deserve. There are many opportunities for us to be hurt in life and in relationships. The problem is that we can carry these emotional wounds and even physical scars for a long time and spend our energy trying to conceal them. However, if you have come this far I believe you want more than this. I think this is your time. It’s your time to discover the healing you deserve. It’s time for you to give yourself permission to journey towards wholeness and to live your life with a new sense of purpose.
