Mr Fadi Abou-Rihan

Registered Psychotherapist

I work with people who have not given up on finding meaning in their lives. Compassion, patience and confidentiality are key in my practice.

About Me

I am a Registered Psychotherapist based in Toronto, Ontario. I work with you if you have experienced abuse, struggle with relationships, low self-esteem, LGBTQI+ concerns, or identity issues. I offer psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and adoption-related support in a confidential, practical setting.

Approach

When we meet I offer a steady, curious presence for people still seeking meaning after difficult experiences. Sessions in Toronto or online, conducted in English, are paced to your needs and blend reflective dialogue with careful attention to emotional and relational patterns. Together we trace how past hurts shape present relationships, experiment with small changes between meetings, and hold safety and containment as we go. Those who prefer thoughtful, patient exploration often find this way of working grounding.
