Faiza

Ms Faiza Haroon, PsyD

Psychologist

As a therapist with over 16 years experience, a human on my healing journey for almost my whole life, I bring a curious, genuine and authentic presence, sharing healing and personal growth. Please feel free to check my booking link for a free 20-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

About Me

I offer a warm, compassionate space for individuals, children, youth, families and couples. I deeply understand the impact of trauma which allows me to create a safe space for healing and exploration at your own pace. My empathetic approach creates a safe environment where you can feel truly heard. This makes me an ideal match for those seeking gentle, experienced support to navigate life's challenges.

Approach

My approach feels gentle and attentive shaping how we move through difficult material, with careful timing and comfort guiding each step. Sessions—available in Calgary, on the phone or securely online —blend focused listening, trauma‑sensitive pacing, and practical grounding skills so moments feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Between sessions, I may suggest short, simple reflections, psychoeducational resources or mindfulness practices to continue your healing. My self-reflective and insightful style often aligns well with those seeking thoughtful support and personal growth.
