Virtual Sessions

Practicing since 2019, Tahir is a registered psychologist who has worked in trauma treatment, supporting adjustment issues, identity development, intergenerational pressures, and interpersonal therapy.

A note from Tahir:

I work with patients navigating identity, belonging, relationships, and life pressures.

My style is relational, reflective, and insight-oriented while also incorporating practical tools for regulating emotions and restructuring thought patterns.

As someone raised between cultures of Kenya, India and Canada, I integrate evidence-based approaches from cognitive therapy to dynamic treatment from eastern and western frameworks with curiosity about the stories that create our complex life. Welcome.

Mental Health Concerns

You may be coming to therapy feeling anxious, burned out, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in unrealized relationship patterns. Others may come in because there is a sense of disconnection between their world and themselves. As we say, the outside doesn’t match the inside.

Psychotherapy is more than reducing "symptoms." Together, through regular sessions, therapy can explore the patterns, relationships, and emotional roles that shaped how you move through the world today.

Anxiety

Identify the root cause of your anxiety, develop resilience and learn to cope with your generalized anxiety, social anxiety, performance anxiety, OCD, panic attacks or phobias so you can lead a fulfilling life.

Depression

Identify, understand, and work through the experiences, thoughts, and feelings that are making you feel depressed and learn effective coping strategies to help you overcome them to live a happier life.

Trauma & PTSD

Understand, process, and work through the difficult emotions and memories that are causing you pain after the traumatic experience in a safe and non-judgmental environment to help you recover and heal.

Childhood Trauma

If you have experienced trauma as a child, counselling can help you understand, process and heal from what has happened to you so that you can move on with confidence, strength and resilience.

Self Esteem

Reframe your thoughts and experiences to challenge the unhelpful beliefs that harm your self-image so that you can start to feel good about yourself and live your life with confidence and self-love.

Emotion Regulation

Develop the skills necessary to regulate your emotions by learning how to rethink situations to reduce anger or depression, identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patters, and be mindful to reduce anxiety and stress.

First Responders

Counselling provides a safe outlet for the feeling you have to suppress while in the front lines, help you manage stress, and heal from anxiety and trauma.

Couples Issues

Work together to get through rough patches, improve communication, nurture intimacy, rebuild trust, set boundaries, make parenting decisions, and handle separation or divorce constructively.

Conflict Resolution

Learn how to resolve conflicts in a healthy and productive way without compromising your own values, integrity, boundaries or self-respect so that everyone involved feels heard and respected.

Codependency

Identify and change the patterns of behaviour that make it difficult for you to make decisions, ask for help, set boundaries, be alone, or stop yourself from feeling responsible for other people’s behaviours.

Grief and Loss

Grieve your loss at your pace in a caring and supportive environment as you move through the different stages of grief and begin to take the steps to move on from your loss and heal.

Personality Disorders

Get a better understanding of your personality disorder and learn how to better cope with the feelings and behaviours that come with it, improve relationships, and build a greater self-worth.

Anger

Regain control in your life and learn how to control your anger by improving communication skills, expressing yourself in healthy ways, learning to relax, reframing your thoughts, and practicing gratitude.

Gender and Sexuality

Feel supported in a safe and accepting space for you to explore your sexuality and gender identity, process and heal from discrimination, and gain the strength to come out and be your authentic self.
