I strive every day to absorb new information and listen to my clients’ needs, even if it is a new therapy that I have never heard of. I believe that therapists need to be person-centred without the hierarchy of patient and client. I am here to advocate and be part of the journey of a client’s learning processes even if it is a difficult journey.

Are you struggling with past traumas, depression, anxiety, and/or low self-esteem? At times life’s stressors and struggles can get in the way of us feeling joy. My goal as a psychotherapist is to walk by your side as you explore issues that may be holding you back from feeling your best.
As your therapist, I will provide a safe space for you to explore who you are and who you want to be. I believe we must care as much for our soul as we do our body. I have a master’s degree in Psychotherapy and for 17 years, I have been supporting teens and adults of all ages.
I have assisted individuals from diverse backgrounds, faiths, and cultures, and I would look forward to offering you a variety of modalities, such as CBT/DBT, mindfulness, solution focused, psychodynamic, and EFT. Moreover, in our work together, I would want to assess and foster your own strengths and resilience and help you to find meaning in your life. I can offer care in English, Arabic, and Farsi and, I would be happy to help you work through any cultural stressors you may be feeling.

I’m Simren, a Registered Social Worker Therapist. I have a wide range of experience working in the field, primarily with children and families, and have done therapy with clients as young as 5 years old. I’ve had clients from many different cultural backgrounds, and with a variety of mental and behavioral presentations, including Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
I am an easygoing and compassionate person and believe good therapy can only occur after first establishing a positive therapeutic relationship based on mutual trust and respect. I draw from various modalities and like to personalize therapy for a client based on their needs and presenting issues. Some modalities I draw from include Person-centered therapy, Attachment-based therapy, Trauma-focused CBT, Psychodynamic theory, and Play Therapy.
I personally feel that almost all of us can benefit from therapy; we are all unique individuals with both strengths and vulnerabilities, with certain vulnerabilities making it harder for some of us to adjust or function optimally in modern day society, which can often be overwhelming and adverse. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space for you to share and discuss whatever you wish to, and then for us to strive towards creating positive change in your life.

I believe in the human capacity to grow, adapt, and experience greater freedom and mental calm - even in the face of life’s hardships. Psychotherapy is a space where that change becomes possible.
If you find yourself repeating painful dynamics, feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself and who you want to be, or just wanting to gain better understanding of who you are, we can work on that. Together, we will create space to explore with curiosity and care whatever it is that has brought you into therapy.
I offer relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy, an approach that explores how early relationships and unconscious patterns shape how we think, feel, and behave in the present.
In our sessions, we will have conversations - but unique kinds of conversations. Through thoughtful listening, emotional presence and staying with your lived experience possible meanings begin to emerge. Our work together will explore those parts of you that you may have had to hide or silence to survive, please others, or maybe to avoid conflict. Maybe they are patterns of behaviour that used to ‘work fine’ but now they are causing challenges - and you don’t know why. As we work together, and you develop greater self-awareness, and self-acceptance, new choices become possible.
Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I had a career working in business. I spent years working with teams, leadership, and executives. I have a unique understanding of the demands and tension between family and career and trying to meet the expectations from all sides. I have lived a life that includes its own experiences and history and have benefited from my own therapy. While my experiences are not your experiences, sometimes knowing someone else ‘gets it’ can help. If that matters to you - we might be the right fit - and I am here to help.

If it was easy to change, therapy wouldn’t exist. Together we will face the puzzles, fears and tough spots that make it hard to change, even when you want to.
I work with young and mid-age adults who are ready for things to get better, but don’t know where to start, or can’t manage to make the desired moves.
You have everything you need inside you to meet the challenges of your life. Working together we can look at what’s real to you, what’s under your control, and what is your next step. We can go deep, or just get you through a rough patch.
