I work with a range of issues, including life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, loss and grief. I often see people who feel limited by prescribed social roles, norms and expectations. They want to break free from these constraints and live a life that fully reflects who they are. In therapy, we work together to uncover my clients' longings and desires, reconnecting them with their true nature.

Navigating through the world comes with inherent challenges, and sometimes what we’re seeking for support is more than what our friends or family can provide. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space where you can show up as you are, feel seen and heard, and together, we co-create the helpful way forward. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and social justice oriented.

"We are all wired for connection. It’s in our biology. As infants, our need for connection is about survival. As we grow older, connection means thriving – emotionally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually. Connection is critical because we all have the basic need to feel accepted and to believe that we belong and are valued for who we are” - Brene Brown At the core of my practice, I believe that a meaningful therapeutic connection can spark change. Talk therapy is a powerful tool to build and enhance acceptance, connection, and healing.

Hello, my name is Aleya. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and I am here to help you seek opportunities for growth from change and life events. Pregnancy and parenthood. Grief and loss. Relationships and marriage. Career transitions. Accidents or illness. It can be really hard to see your way through these significant (and sometimes unexpected) life events when you're in the thick of it, especially if you're not sure which way to go. Connecting with someone who can help you understand your feelings, validate them, and provide the right tools to deal with them can help these moments feel more manageable.

My practice is person-centered, strength-based, trauma informed. I think that each person coming to therapy is unique. Each person attempts to do the best possible with the resources available. Each person has wisdom, creativity, and strength, and is the authority in their life. Doing counselling means providing a safer space for you to tell your story. And it is a space for us to have conversations and to work together.

Over the years, I’ve learned that creative thinking can help us find paths and directions we never knew were possible. Through divergent thinking, we can get unstuck, opening doors we didn't know existed. Welcome! I'm Miream Rabba, a Professional Art Therapist. I was drawn to art therapy after more than 20 years in a successful career as a participatory designer and researcher in Canada and Australia. Through my work, I have witnessed the power of creativity to make decisions and shift perspectives.

Psychotherapy is the confidential process where you can get insight from an experienced registered Psychologist in understanding how life-stressors can interfere with your thinking patterns, feelings, beliefs, needs, behaviour and relationships. Prolonged exposure to stress, unhappiness, conflict, trauma, abuse or problematic relationships can lead to anxiety, depression, grief, anger or other behavioural problems. Brain research clearly indicated that early psychological intervention can prevent mental and physical illnesses. Clients now have the opportunity to be proactive and learn the skills on how to protect their mental health, restore their competence and happiness and develop a strong sense of well-being and resiliency.
