Ms Maryam Almasi

Registered Psychotherapist

“I recognize that reaching out for support can be challenging, that life transitions can be overwhelming, that anxiety can be burdensome, and that stress can leave one feeling emotionally and physically drained. For this reason, I acknowledge how important it is to offer therapy that is client-centred & compassionate.”

About me

I work with folks navigating various concerns including burnout, stress, ADHD, trauma, abuse recovery, anxiety, and more. I am very passionate about using trauma-informed approaches and am both an EMDRIA certified therapist and EMDRIA approved consultant in training.

Approach

My approach is person-centered and culturally informed. I utilize modalities like EMDR, CBT, ACT, Solution-Focused, Parts Work/Inner Child Work, & Narrative therapy. I work with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, self-discovery, motivation, relationships, & more.
