Hello, I am currently accepting new clients for counseling, as well as for AD/HD and ASD assessments I offer an individualized approach to therapy to support you in achieving your goals. I integrate several psychotherapeutic modalities including Family Systems therapy, CBT, and Mindfulness practices. I have several years of experience working with adults, children, and families. I specialize in helping individuals improve symptoms of anxiety, OCD, AD/HD, ASD, and supporting families with children with complex behavioural concerns.  

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.  

My work begins with you. For over two decades, in different locations I have set out to use the power of the spoken word to help those who struggle with psychological and emotional issues. I have not perfected the art of therapy as yet -still trying! I promise to always deploy the best thinking and scientific research in behavior change, and brain support dynamics and technologies to help you to optimize your potential and live your best emotional life.  

Virtual Practice Ontario and Alberta: I have over a decade of experience helping people navigate relationship challenges including communication, sex and intimacy, low desire, sexual performance pressure or feeling absolutely NOT on the same team. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be entirely real. Real change happens when we stop blaming ourselves and start understanding our patterns, which is why my approach is completely down-to-earth and focused on what actually works for you. I show up to this work as both deeply compassionate and completely honest. I’m not afraid to be a straight shooter when it’s helpful, but that directness is always wrapped in genuine care and respect for exactly where you are at. I'm here to help you get to the root of your reactions so you can make sense of them and finally have the clarity to do things differently. While the work we do is deeply meaningful, I don’t think therapy has to be heavy all the time. When it fits, I bring a bit of humor into the room to help break the tension and remind us that there is still room to breathe. When we work together, you get a genuine partner who is right there in the trenches with you—and occasionally, a quiet appearance from my dog or cat in the background to keep our sessions grounded :)  

I have Master's Degrees in Clinical Psychology and Counselling. In addition to professional training and experiences in psychotherapy and treatment, behavioral intervention, and neuropsychological assessments, I use my previous PhD and current doctoral studies to supplement my clinical practice using both clinical-scientist and scientist-practitioner models.  

As a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, I provide a compassionate, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, helping individuals heal from childhood trauma, addiction, self-esteem issues, and relationship challenges. Using a holistic and integrative approach, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Attachment Therapy to support personal growth and emotional healing. I create a safe, inclusive space for individuals and couples, with a special focus on marginalized communities and the LGBTQ2+ community. I believe in the mind-body connection, empowering clients to rewrite their stories, build resilience, and lead fulfilling lives. If you're ready to take the next step in your healing journey, reach out today.  

Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.  

Life is full of transitions, challenges, and opportunities for growth. Whether you're navigating personal struggles, feeling overwhelmed, or seeking positive change, I'm here to support you. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel truly seen and heard. Together, we'll work toward helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.  

I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapist, working online via Zoom with clients around the world. I specialise in the subconscious patterns underneath anxiety, imposter syndrome and self-doubt in otherwise capable adults. The people I work with are usually intelligent and self-aware. They understand their patterns. They have read the books. And still the pattern keeps showing up. That is the gap RTT was built for. I have been where you are. I know what it is like to feel trapped by anxiety, self-doubt or patterns that seem impossible to break. I also know what it feels like to finally feel free. That is why I do this work.  

I know how scary it can be to face our struggles and open up to a new person—I’ve been in therapy myself for many years. It’s not easy work! That's why I’m focused on building trust and staying curious about who you are and how you’re experiencing the process. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling cared for, understood, accepted, and connected with. Clients find that this experience builds self-understanding, a sense of worth, and a growing agency they carry into the rest of their lives. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who practices psychodynamic, relational therapy. This approach understands our struggles as stemming from difficulties in relationships, past and present. Maybe you haven’t received the kinds of connections, supports, and understanding you’ve needed and it’s impacted how you relate to yourself and others. Perhaps bad experiences have made it hard to navigate daily life or build new dynamics. You might be navigating loss, abandonment, harm, guilt, or conflict and need support with this. We’re nearly all impacted by cultures of disconnection, over-work, domination, and hyper-individualism. Relational therapy can be a space to notice all of this and experience something new—a more connected and fulfilling inner and outer life. I’m dedicated to practicing from a client-led and trauma-informed perspective that understands the deeply traumatic impacts of white supremacy, colonialism, cishetero-patriarchy, ableism, and other oppressions. I will hold curiosity for how systems, culture, and identity impact your life, relationships, and our work together. But in all of this, we only go as deep and as wide as you want to—I make sure we’re following your pace and attending to what feels most urgent. I won't tell you what healing looks like for you, but I'll be excited to figure that out together.  

Everyone's challenges are unique to the person. I like to try identify causes of symptoms that present rather than try and treat symptoms. As such, in our appointments we will try to make them specific to your needs and I willing accept feedback for what clients wish to focus on rather than follow a fixed agenda.  

Life as a woman in your 20s and 30s can feel EXHAUSTING, like no matter how hard you try, you're spinning your wheels and can't seem to catch a break. You're tired, anxious, overwhelmed, and questioning how you even got here. Maybe a big change recently flipped your world upside down, like a breakup, move, job shift, or family situation that brought everything to the surface. Or maybe it's been building for a while. You’re feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled, and noticing the same patterns repeating themselves again and again. You’re ready for something different. You're ready to dig deeper, understand yourself on a new level, and start creating patterns that actually move you forward. We’re here to help you do just that. Visit our website or reach out to book a free consultation with one of our therapists! We’d love to support you.  

Something feels off, and maybe you've been pushing through it for a while now. Anxiety that won't quiet down. A relationship that's started to feel more like work than connection. Questions about who you are, what you want, or what you actually need, that you haven't had space to sit with. That's what therapy with me is for. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, identity, and sexuality, relationship challenges like communication challenges, trust issues, conflict, and repair, and intimacy and sexual concerns that often go unspoken. I'm not here to hand you a protocol. I'm here to help you understand what's actually happening for you and move through it in a way that fits your real life. If you've been waiting for a space that's honest, real, affirming, and doesn't feel clinical or preachy, this is it.  

[EN] Maybe you already understand where your reactions come from — and still find yourself repeating them: anxiety, pulling away when closeness becomes difficult, adapting so much to others that you lose track of what you actually want. I’m a Relational and Somatic Therapist, and my work looks at what is happening today — in your thoughts, emotions, body, and relationships — not only at the story behind it. I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute connection call to see if this way of working could be a good fit. —— [FR] Peut-être que tu comprends déjà d’où viennent certaines de tes réactions — et pourtant, elles reviennent : l’anxiété, le besoin de te retirer lorsque la proximité devient difficile, ou une tendance à t’adapter aux autres au point de perdre de vue ce que tu veux vraiment. Je suis thérapeute relationnel et somatique, et mon travail porte sur ce qui se passe aujourd’hui — dans tes pensées, tes émotions, ton corps et tes relations — pas seulement sur l’histoire derrière. Je t’invite à réserver un appel de connexion gratuit de 20 minutes pour voir si cette façon de travailler pourrait te convenir.  

My work as a therapist is informed by the core principles with which I live my life. As a publicly out person of Kink, I am a staunch supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights, have participated in and presented at events for the Kink and Alt-Sex community, and teach workshops on the complexity and importance of positive consent practices and compassionate communication. I believe Sex Work is Work. I believe Black Lives Matter. I believe Trans Rights are Human Rights. I have a deep and abiding awareness of my own particular privilege and advantages and will approach any work with you with these principles held strongly in mind.  

Ilana strives to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered to reconnect with their authentic selves, strengthen relationships, and move toward greater fulfillment and purpose.  

*Accepting New Clients* I understand that therapy can feel overwhelming, that it can be hard and demanding work that requires vulnerability when facing and feeling emotions that are difficult to cope with. My goal as a therapist, is to tailor my approach to ease this process by creating an open, compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where we will work to help you better understand internal self, your values, and your relationship to yourself and to others. I work with individuals, couples, families, children (6+) and youth and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit for your journey.

We Are Drawn To Our Natural Rhythms As someone who has had their own continuous journey with sleep, restfulness and dreams—I’m not leading you anywhere into the depths of the night that I haven’t been. I come with a satchel full of useful tools and a humble curiosity about what it means to rest well, and try again. I work best with clients who are looking to cultivate a better understanding with themselves with curiosity, compassion, and creativity. In our work together my biggest intention to assist you in building your own, personalized roadmap to rest. Through my scientific, theraputic, and land-based training, I also know that sleep, stress, rest, and dreams change seasonally. I do my best to tailor our work together to fit the changing seasons in our lives—both internal and external.
