My name is Talieh, but everyone calls me Talaa, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist, authorized for independent practice by CRPO (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario).

I use MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) as the core technique in my work with my clients, while also drawing on techniques from other approaches such as SFBT (Solution Focused Brief Therapy), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), and DBT (Dialectic Behaviour Therapy). I will also complete my EMDR formal training in late fall. EMDR is a therapy technique that is very effective in addressing all forms of trauma; both physical and emotional.

The majority of my work has been to help people adjust after major life events. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, eating disorders and interpersonal relationships.

A bit about me personally… I did my Bachelor’s at Queen’s University and then spent a few years travelling and teaching English abroad before completing my master of Counselling Psychology. I am quite outgoing by nature, and very energetic, and I enjoy taking on new challenges. My go-to form of physical activity is running and yoga. I also love to cook and read. I am married to a man who grounds me and we share two curious and inspiring children. I was born in Iran and can speak fluent Farsi. I absolutely love my job and still find it hard to believe that I make a living doing something I enjoy so much. My therapy style is dynamic, person-centred, strength-based and collaborative. To date, I can confidently state that I have not yet had a client from whom I haven’t learned, and this is what makes my job really fun and interesting. I look forward to this new journey

Are there challenges in your life that have you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from yourself and others around you? Do you feel like you don’t quite have the words to describe how you feel? Perhaps you are looking for a person to listen, while working through your thoughts and feelings? As human beings, I believe we come with our unique experiences and nuance differences that make us who we are. We all come with special strengths and abilities that must be acknowledged and celebrated. In my practice, I use a blend of techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Narrative Therapy. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, person-centred, and holistic. I follow a Culturally Responsive and Social-Justice (CRSJ) lens and believe that our social environments are factors that can have profound value and impact on our daily lives. In our session together, we will explore and reflect the way your individuality, community, and identified intersections are woven together to influence the life you live. I believe my role in your journey is to meet you where you are and to cultivate a space that feels safe, compassionate, empowering, and non- judgemental. Therapy is a time and place for you to be vulnerable, self-discover, explore, process, and reflect at your own pace. Whether this is your first, second, or third time seeking support, searching for a therapist is a vulnerable position to be in. I believe the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is sacred, and the trust and bond are foundational to your therapeutic experience.
