Counselling
Hi, I’m Mia, a Persian-Canadian Psychotherapist who believes that healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy. In our work together, I create a warm, supportive space where you’re free to explore your experiences—through words, creativity, and even a little laughter when it’s needed most. I bring a trauma-informed, client-centered approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based practices while also integrating art, metaphor, and moments of lightness. I’ve seen how creativity can unlock insight when words fall short, and how a genuine laugh can bring relief, connection, and perspective in the middle of deep work. As someone who understands the complexities of holding multiple identities, I offer a culturally aware and inclusive space where all parts of you are welcome—especially the ones you’re still getting to know. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, identity, intergenerational trauma, relationships or life transitions, I’ll meet you with empathy, curiosity, and care. I currently offer virtual sessions for individuals. If you’re feeling ready—or even just curious—I’d be honoured to connect with you.
My Journey
Why did I start this Journey?
Fruitful Thoughts Counselling Services was born out of my deep passion for a holistic, patient-centered approach to mental wellness. I saw a need for honest, compassionate conversations—where things are said as they are, with heart. I created a space where growth, challenge, and even moments of joy come together in the healing journey.
