Ms Aliza Neger

Registered Social Worker

I am an experienced and compassionate therapist working with people experiencing highly diverse struggles including trauma, mental health issues, substance abuse, life stressors, school/work issues, and more.I would be honoured to be part of your journey to self-discovery, conscious change, and healing.

About Me

Life often brings complex challenges. My compassionate approach supports individuals navigating diverse struggles, from trauma to daily stressors and substance abuse. We will work collaboratively, exploring pathways to self-discovery and conscious change. If you seek a space to truly heal and grow, I am here to honour your unique journey.

Approach

Beginning with respect for your experience, I guide sessions with gentle structure and pragmatic curiosity so healing feels manageable. In my Toronto-based online and in-person sessions we move at a pace you set, combining trauma-focused exploration, mindfulness practices and coaching-style check-ins, with simple tools to try between meetings. I keep things collaborative and concrete, tracking small shifts and adjusting approaches when needed. This way of working often suits adolescents and adults seeking steady, practical movement through change.
