Welcome!
My name is Faisa and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist in private practice in Toronto. I provide online therapy to individuals and families who are residents of Ontario. My areas of speciality include relational issues, trauma-focused therapy, and perinatal mental health care.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked in different areas of the mental health field, including community-based, academic, and hospital settings. This experience includes providing psychotherapy and group facilitation, delivering workshops for organizations, teaching post-secondary courses, and conducting social work research.
I came into this work from a personal place of wanting to better understand myself by exploring the pivotal, and often difficult, experiences that have shaped me. I apply this same curiosity and care to my work as a therapist by offering a supportive space for you to explore your presenting concerns and reconnect with your strengths. I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, others, and the world around them so that they can live a more connected and fulfilling life.
