About Me
I’m Maryam, a Registered Social Worker (MSW) and a psychotherapist with over two decades of experience in mental health. My journey as a therapist has been shaped by a deep passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of trauma, PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and depression to thrive rather than survive and to be their true selves. I believe that therapy is a gradual journey that brings growth, held within the safe container of the therapist-client relationship. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing profound transformation in the lives of the courageous individuals I’ve supported. People often describe me as warm, compassionate, and honest when needed. They value my commitment to creating a safe space to process life’s complexities. I help individuals seeking more than traditional talk therapy those ready to dive deeper into healing. I work with people who have faced profound challenges, helping them find relief and break free from old patterns that hinder them from living authentic and empowered lives. As one of the few Ontario practitioners who integrate EMDR therapy with Internal Family Systems, I guide clients through painful stories and emotional blocks with openness and empathy. Together, we embark on a transformative healing journey, embracing moments of both sorrow and joy, and collaborate to heal the past while looking forward to a more vibrant future.
