**IN-PERSON SESSIONS NOW AVAILABLE** I believe that therapy should be approachable and accessible and often describe my style as, "not your mother's therapist". Sessions will focus on understanding how the events of your life have created a roadmap for how you view yourself, others, and the world. Therapy will allow you to redraw your map, repair the potholes, and create healthy relationships. This exploration, along with new coping strategies, communication skills, and emotional regulation will allow you to experience short-term relief and make long-term changes.  

I work with individuals, couples, and business professionals who are often managing high expectations, demanding careers, and important relationships, while also trying to stay connected to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and move toward greater clarity and alignment, while not losing sight of the goals. Clients often come to me for support with relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, burnout, identity questions, and intercultural dynamics. I bring a relational and collaborative approach, meaning we work together in a way that feels thoughtful, honest, and tailored to your needs- not one-size-fits-all. At the heart of my work is a belief that meaningful change happens when people feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment. I aim to offer that kind of space, where you can explore what’s not working, strengthen what matters most, and build relationships, with yourself and others that feel more connected and fulfilling.  

I offer compassionate, trauma-informed online therapy for individuals seeking healing, clarity, and meaningful change. My practice is rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapy, and I am certified in Compassionate Inquiry®, a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that supports deep emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Clients often reach out when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or ready to move beyond survival patterns related to anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, grief, or trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and grounded in safety, helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build lasting emotional resilience.  

Hello, my name is Rosetta and in last 30 years I have had extensive experience of working with children, adolescents, families and autistic individuals of all ages.

My ongoing work has included: ASD, ADHD, OCD, Childhood Trauma, Attachment, Transgender Teens, 2SLGBTQI+, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Dysmorphia, Social & Emotional Regulation, Communication, & Relationship Skills, Learning Disabilities, and Executive Functioning Skills.

What moves us forward is often done with support, and the courage to take the first step.

Therapy can be tough. Often it's not fun - exploring the painful parts of ourselves, confronting our beliefs that keep us stuck, challenging our behaviors that keep us from fulling being present in our lives, learning new ways to be with our emotions, and setting goals that will probably be difficult to do. This is what sets therapy apart from a conversation with a good friend. My role is to provide a space for you to show up, exactly how you are, open up, be seen, and have a professional with years of experience guide you in how to navigate the maze that mental health problems create.  

Feeling out of place or disconnected—no matter how hard you try to adapt—can be exhausting. If you're overwhelmed by life’s changes and struggling to feel at home in yourself or your surroundings, you’re not alone. My practice is grounded in helping people like you find clarity, connection, and a true sense of belonging. Together, we’ll create a space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported—so you can begin to feel grounded and whole again.  

My goal is to help a person move toward wellness, one compassionate step at a time. Finding balance in the face of anxiety, grief, or ADHD can feel overwhelming. My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy should be a collaborative, client-centered partnership. With years of experience—including a deep background at Western University’s Psychological Services—I blend evidence-based techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with the restorative power of mindfulness and self-compassion. Whether you’re visiting me in Whitby or connecting online, my goal is to provide you with a practical toolkit to manage panic and loss while building a life that feels authentic to you.  

Seeking support is an act of strength. If you are experiencing anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, or are recovering from narcissistic abuse, you do not have to face it alone. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand emotional and relational patterns, and heal unresolved wounds through approaches such as inner child work and reparenting. I specialize in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and high-conflict, emotionally abusive relationships. I support men, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals, as well as individuals who have been in narcissistic relationships, to engage in rebuilding self-trust, restoring boundaries, and recovering from chronic invalidation, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation. My work also focuses on trauma, personality dynamics, anxiety, mood disorders, and attachment wounds. My therapeutic approach integrates CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Relational Therapy, ACT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused approaches, offering a supportive space for those who often feel misunderstood or overlooked. I also provide free virtual psychotherapy for refugees, asylum seekers, and protected persons covered under IFHP. Services are trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, supporting individuals impacted by war, displacement, adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, and resettlement stress. Psychotherapy is available in English and Farsi. Your diagnosis or past experiences do not define you. Healing and growth are possible, and your story matters.  

Welcome. You may be coming to therapy with questions that feel hard to identify - why certain types of relationships repeat, why you feel disconnected, or why familiar patterns keep pulling you back even when you want something different. You might sense that past experiences shape how you respond or protect yourself. Often, the goal isn’t a quick fix, but a deeper understanding of these patterns that shape how you relate, cope, and move through the world. My approach is intuitive and psychodynamic, with a strong focus on attachment and trauma-informed therapy. In my work with individuals, we slow things down and listen closely.

Join me in a virtual weekly support group for adults with ADHD or in an individual coaching session where we implement skills, tools, and strategies to support you in overcoming obstacles while reaching your goals and learning to thrive with ADHD. My own journey with an ADHD diagnosis, combined with my therapeutic expertise and specialized training in ADHD, has equipped me with valuable insights and tools to empower others to thrive amidst challenges. In addition to my proficiency in CBT and DBT, I draw inspiration from IFS and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My diverse background, encompassing holistic nutrition and yoga teacher training, significantly influences my approach, emphasizing the integral role of a healthy lifestyle in ADHD treatment.

I work closely with newcomers, first- and second-generation Canadians. Having lived in multiple countries, I have a deep understanding of the challenges of cultural adjustment and integration.

Very little about human experience surprises me anymore — yet people continue to move and inspire me. I am deeply open-minded, curious, and grounded in a strong sense of relational and community responsibility. My work is shaped by decades of clinical practice and by a lived understanding of complexity, resilience, and care under pressure. I bring steadiness, intuition, and a thoughtful sense of humour into the therapeutic space, creating an environment where people can feel safe enough to speak honestly and begin to heal. ​ I am also attentive to the spiritual, cultural, and meaning-making dimensions of people's lives, including experiences of spiritual or religious harm, loss of community, and the search to rebuild identity after trauma. Therapy is not about fixing what is broken, but about creating space for integration, dignity, safety, and renewed choice. ​ Professionally, I have worked within provincial mental health and welfare systems and continue to support charitable and community-based initiatives focused on intimate partner violence. I have also been involved in a federally funded research project examining coercive control and the challenges faced by culturally insular communities, work that informs my clinical and supervisory practice. ​​ My therapeutic approach is integrative, relational and responsive to each person's inner world and culture. I draw primarily from psychodynamic and relational traditions, alongside somatic and trauma-informed approaches, adapting therapy to the pace, needs and lived experience of the individual. This includes support for individuals affected by intimate partner violence, spiritual abuse, and trauma within religious or culturally insular communities.
