Kindness Starts Here
Gentle, Caring, and Empathetic Therapy
Meet Saad (that rhymes with Todd)
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Hi. I'm Saad, a psychotherapist providing support to residents of Ontario, Canada. I create a compassionate and accepting environment where your story is heard and validated. My goal is to collaborate with you to identify the emotional patterns affecting your life and develop practical strategies to address your challenges directly. I frequently work with individuals navigating anger, anxiety, grief, narcissistic abuse, parenting difficulties, shame, and relationships.
I offer a kind, accepting, and validating space where your story can truly be held. With a background spanning four countries, corporate roles, stand-up comedy, and as a father of three, I bring a broad, empathetic, and grounded perspective to our work. I approach our sessions with curiosity, deep empathy, a non-judgmental stance, and often, a touch of humor, fostering a truly human connection. Together we'll explore your unique emotional patterns and develop strategies to address your specific challenges.
I offer a free, 50 minute first session, either online or in-person. In-person sessions are near mid-town Toronto, or near Square One in Mississauga, Ontario. If you're ready to explore how therapy can support your journey toward greater well-being, I invite you to reach out using the form below.
Why Psychotherapy?
It can help with
Anxiety
The constant strain of worry and apprehension takes a toll.
Grief
We can feel grief from the death of someone we care about, but also from the loss of a life we had or dreamed of.
Self-esteem
Where did your beliefs about yourself come from?
Relationships and families
Spouses, partners, family, friends, and even coworkers can cause us stress and trauma. Therapy gives us a chance to experience a new kind of relationship.
Shame
Shame can control us and how we interact with the rest of the world.
Anger
Anger can keep us safe, but also consume us. Resolve it to push beyond your limits.
