Counselling and psychotherapy for individuals

You are the expert of your experience...

Andrea Zahra MSW, RSW

Finding a therapist who gets you can be a daunting and exhausting task.  Whether you have worked with a therapist in the past, or are starting out for the very first time, I am so happy that you are here.  Although it may be uncomfortable at first, therapy can be a powerful tool to understand yourself, build confidence, improve your relationships and live a more fulfilling life.   


In my work, I practice from an anti-oppressive, client-focused, strength-based  framework. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and that you are the expert of your experience.    My approach is eclectic, drawing from a variety of evidence-based practices including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), trauma informed therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness practice, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.    My goal as a practitioner is to help you reach your goals in a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental environment.
