Hi, and welcome to Dream Wellness. I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable and even overwhelming. If you’re here, it likely means that something within you is ready for change, healing, or simply a space to breathe. I want you to know—whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.

I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults who are navigating life’s challenges—whether it’s anxiety, self-doubt, difficult transitions, relationship stress, or unresolved experiences that still echo in the present. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. But above all, I strive to offer a space where you feel safe to be fully yourself—a space where your thoughts, emotions, and stories are met with empathy, curiosity, and care.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about walking alongside you as you reconnect with your strengths, make sense of your experiences, and create room for more clarity, self-compassion, and meaning in your life.

If you’re unsure about where to start, that’s okay. The first step is simply reaching out. I’d be honoured to support you, wherever you are on your journey.

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!

From a very young age, I’ve been deeply interested in human behavior and perspectives. As I grew older, I realized that psychology was the right path for me. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in psychology, but my learning never stops. As I trained in different psychotherapy approaches, I continuously explored different psychotherapy approaches because every individual has unique needs. I strongly believe that psychotherapy is my passion, it’s a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. In therapy, feeling safe and building trust are essential. You cannot fully embark on this journey unless you feel secure. I have extensive experience leading group therapy sessions for various age groups, including individuals facing illnesses such as cancer, MS, and diabetes. Witnessing people grow, moment by moment, is truly inspiring. My experience also extends to working with community-based organizations, supporting diverse groups in different settings. In our sessions, I am committed to creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I am always learning, always growing, just like you.

Hello, I’m Alexandra, and I want you to know that you’re not alone in your journey. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a proud member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP), my commitment is to meet you exactly where you are. I embrace a client-centered approach that sees you as an equal partner in our therapeutic relationship.

My aim is to create an environment that is safe, supportive, and completely free of judgment. In this nurturing space, we can tap into your innate capacity for growth and transformation. Life’s challenges may sometimes obscure this potential within us, but together, we can uncover your personal strengths and nurture your aspirations for positive change.

My background is rooted in psychotherapy and spiritual care, which complements my earlier education in psychology and health sciences. Through my experiences, I’ve addressed a wide range of concerns, from major life transitions to depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, trauma, addiction, identity issues, and the application of an emotion-focused approach in couples therapy.

Much like a well-oiled machine, I believe that spiritual, physical, and mental health are interconnected and crucial to the healing process. In our therapy sessions, we can explore questions like, “How can I come closer to living a more fulfilling, meaningful life?” To do this, I draw from a diverse array of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, existential therapy, narrative therapy, and CBT, all of which are evidence-based and adaptable to various challenges. I’m also able to provide services in Macedonian and offer culturally sensitive support for individuals from this background.

If you’re considering therapy or have questions about the process, I warmly encourage you to schedule a free consultation. Remember, the journey to healing begins with one small step forward. You’re taking that step, and I’m here to walk with you.

Hi there, my name is Niloufar Niaz and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I offer individual and couples talk therapy to adults, bringing warmth, empathy and patience into each interaction. My aim is to make therapy a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental space where the healing process can take place. Multiculturalism is a key point in my practice. I also practice through a strengths-based lens, tailoring my approach to fit each individual’s diverse background. I integrate various evidence-based treatments to support my patients in developing better self- awareness, feeling “unstuck” and learning new skills (e.g. cognitive behavioural therapy, emotional focused therapy, attachment theory and mindfulness techniques). As a relationship therapist I help couples and individuals navigate relationship conflict so they feel more connected. Our conversations will provide you with opportunities to identify and shift negative and painful cycles, explore and understand the impact of the past on your current relationship, and find new ways to communicate with your partner.

Hi! I am Aaron Peters, a Registered Psychotherapist (Q), I am here to support you on your healing journey. With a strong passion for listening, empathizing, and guiding individuals, I find immense joy in partnering with people to help them discover their true selves.

In the journey of life, we often face challenges when we feel disconnected from our authentic selves and the world around us.

Specializing in working with teens and young adults, I assist those struggling to find meaning in their lives and live confidently. While I particularly enjoy working with youth at a pivotal stage of self-discovery, I am eager to assist anyone committed to exploring their authentic selves. Together, we can work through overwhelming emotions and break free from the cycle of distress and fear.

When I’m not assisting clients on their journey to healing, I enjoy indulging in personal hobbies. You can often find me immersed in a good book, engaging in sports activities, or reconnecting with nature through camping and fishing. Taking occasional restful days is also an essential part of maintaining a healthy balance in life.
