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!

Hi, I’m Taylor, a registered psychotherapist (qualifying), daughter, sister, friend, partner, and mental health advocate. I offer a space to feel safe, reflect, and process the difficult experiences that life can bring. My goal is to provide modern, inclusive, and relatable therapeutic support to your unique mental health journey. I believe in empowering the capacity that we all have to heal and grow.

I specialize in grief and bereavement counselling for adults and children. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress management, life transitions, and trauma. I honour a client-centered, strengths-based, holistic approach using a wide range of evidence-based modalities, including CBT, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and more. Drawing from these different approaches helps to create a therapy experience that is tailored to each individual’s unique journey and needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. I make it a priority to collaborate with clients to create treatment plans and goals that are attainable and meaningful. I meet you where you are.

My background in psychology and disability services has inspired my pursuit of providing psychotherapy. I graduated from King’s University College with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and criminology and from Yorkville University with a master’s degree in counselling psychology. I continue to strive for lifelong education and the expansion of knowledge through professional development and interactions with clients.

My own personal experiences with mental health have contributed to growth, humility, and a “practice what you preach” mentality. I am also dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for every individual to feel safe, validated, and accepted. Hate and judgment have no place here.
