Iraj Omidi

Psychotherapist (Registered)

An experienced, compassionate and competent psychotherapist working with adolescents and adults.

About Me

I offer a compassionate and competent space where adolescents and adults can explore their thoughts and feelings. With extensive experience, I help individuals navigate life's complexities and find clarity. Our sessions provide a safe environment for deep reflection, allowing you to understand yourself better and develop new ways forward. This approach supports those seeking to make sense of challenges and build resilience.

Approach

With steady, empathetic competence, I shape sessions so you feel heard and guided toward clearer choices and manageable steps. In my Richmond Hill office I meet in person in English and Farsi, keeping sessions focused with a mix of assessment, thoughtful exploration and practical skill-building between meetings. Together we track patterns, trial small changes and adjust at a steady pace that honours emotional safety while addressing anger, anxiety, grief, the weight of chronic illness and intrusive thoughts. This way of working often helps people seeking collaborative, measurable progress.
