Hi! I am Sedi Mina Asrar, a registered psychotherapist, and I am here to support you on your healing journey. I am a trauma specialist with a master’s degree in psychology and a bachelor’s degree in clinical psychology. I am the founder and director of Dream Wellness Psych. & Counselling Services.

In the complex tapestry of life, challenges often arise when we are disconnected from both our authentic selves and the world that surrounds us. This dissonance can manifest in a loss of enjoyment, emotional numbness, an anxious feeling, or a fear of losing control. We may experience a gradual erosion of our genuine selves, leading to a sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction. Simultaneously, we may feel estranged from the world around us, and that may intricately affect the nature of relationships.

Rediscovering a sense of connection is possible, and that involves a journey inward and a process of self-reflection and self-discovery. I am here to support you in regaining your connection with your authentic self and others and to empower you to take control of your feelings and life.

Together, we can work through overwhelming emotions and break free from the cycle of distress and fear. My goal is to create a safe and understanding space where you can freely express yourself and explore your path to recovery. I am dedicated to helping you find answers to the questions that may be weighing you down, such as the “why” and “how” of your situation.

With a professional background working with diverse client populations, including first responders, individuals with complex trauma, families, couples, and those recovering from motor vehicle accident injuries, I bring an eclectic therapeutic approach to my practice. My aim is to create a genuine, safe, and empathetic space for each client.

I am specialized in burnout treatment, compassion fatigue, complex trauma, and couple and marriage therapy. Together, we will work collaboratively to establish personalized goals that align with your unique aspirations.

I use an integrative approach, drawing from a diverse range of modalities tailored to address your specific needs. By customizing my approach, I ensure that our sessions are effective and meaningful for your individual journey.

Take your first step towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life by scheduling a meeting today!

I am so glad you are here. It takes courage to step into your journey to self-exploration and growth. If there is one assurance I can offer you, it is that there is no judgement here. You will always be met with compassion and understanding when you arrive at your session with me. Why? Because life is not as simple as black and white. Rather, it can be quite complex. So I am here to walk alongside you as we explore the many shades of life together. Oftentimes, we confront challenges alone, staying in isolation for longer than we should. I want to gently encourage you to let me into your world, to share the weight of your burdens in a safe and compassionate space. I recognize that it is not an easy decision, which is why I am honoured to accompany each one of my clients on their journey. I embrace a client-centred and relational approach as I prioritize establishing deep connections with my clients and understanding their world from their perspective. I am passionate about relationship and couples’ work and often use an Emotionally Focused approach and may draw from the Gottman Methods as well. As a South Asian individual, I understand the cultural stigma that can surround mental health. I want to assure my clients that I honour each individual’s unique experience, values, and goals, and I am committed to providing an inclusive space for clients from diverse backgrounds. In my personal time, I find joy in both relaxation and continuous learning, as well as spending time with my loved ones. I am passionate about travelling and immersing myself in nature. Indulging in delicious desserts and pasta dishes is another one of my joys in life.
