Viana Ibrahim, MSW, RSW
About Me
I worked in non-profit and government settings for the past 16 years supporting; children, adolescents, families, and individuals experiencing a range of concerns. Some concerns include; depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-harm, suicidal ideation, grief, trauma, veterans experiencing PTSD and life transitions. In addition, she also supports new immigrants and refugees adjusting to the new life as they make Canada their home.
I approach the counseling process with compassion, warmth, and respect. Honoring the vulnerability and courage required in allowing oneself to be ‘seen’ and believing in the capacity of each individual to grow, heal, and change is her main goal.
