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.

Hi, my name is Shirin!

I hold an Honours Bachelor of Science (BSc Hons) in Psychology from York University. My academic background has provided me with a strong foundation in the scientific study of human behaviour, mental health, and evidence-based psychological principles.
