Shahed Tawfeeq, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) (ON)

Hi, and welcome. I know reaching out for support can feel like a big, vulnerable step, and I want to honor the courage it takes to be here. This is your space—one where you don’t have to carry everything alone, where you’ll be met with compassion, curiosity, and care. My hope is that you can take a breath and know you’re not navigating this journey by yourself.

背景

Hi, I'm Shahed! I became a therapist out of a deep belief that healing happens in safe, compassionate connection. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I’ve learned that every person holds an incredible capacity for resilience and growth. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I draw from CBT, EFT, MBCT, ACT, Narrative, Solution-Focused, IFS, and Psychodynamic approaches—always tailoring our work to what feels most supportive for you. Above all, I value authenticity and empathy, creating a space where you feel truly seen and understood.

与我经历治疗的体验

Working with me means stepping into a space where you can exhale and show up as you are. Clients often describe me as calm, straightforward, and encouraging. Our work will be collaborative: you bring your lived experience, and I bring my training and perspective. Sometimes that looks like slowing down and exploring emotions with care; other times it’s building practical tools to help you feel steadier in daily life. My role is not to “fix,” but to walk alongside you—listening, reflecting, and supporting you in finding clarity and meaningful change.

治疗手法

这些是我主要的治疗手法，均接受过专业训练或有丰富临床经验：

以人为本的疗法 (Person-centered Therapy)

At the core of my work is a person-centered approach, which means I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is to create a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

认知行为疗法 (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT))

I regularly integrate CBT techniques to bring awareness to the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we’ll notice unhelpful patterns, challenge limiting beliefs, and practice new ways of coping that support your goals. Clients appreciate the balance of practical tools.

正念与身体实践 (Mindfullness & Somatic Practices)

I draw on grounding techniques and body awareness to help regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and bring a sense of calm into the present moment.

叙事疗法 (Narrative Therapy)

I support clients in exploring and re-authoring the stories they tell about themselves, opening up space for new perspectives, healing, and personal empowerment.

当临床上适用时，我也能灵活应用这些实证为本的治疗手法：

情绪聚焦疗法 (Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT))

常见问题

How do I pay for sessions?

Upon booking your first session, you will complete a client intake form which stores your credit card information. After your session, the stored card will be automatically charged, and an insurance receipt will be sent to your email. I offer a 20-minute FREE consultation video call to see about fit.

Are my sessions covered by my insurance?

If you have extended coverage (benefits) for Registered Psychotherapists, your sessions should be covered!

What can I expect in our first session?

Our first session is about getting to know each other. I’ll ask some questions to better understand what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’re hoping for. There’s no pressure to dive too deep right away—we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Do I need to have everything figured out?

Not at all. Many people come to therapy feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear goal—we’ll figure things out together.

How long does therapy take?

It really depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some people come for a few months, others stay longer. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy continues to feel useful and aligned with your needs.

How long are the sessions?

All sessions are 50-minutes.

Where do the sessions take place?

Sessions occur over secure HIPPA-compliant video. They are 100% confidential and privacy protected.

您知道吗？

The little things bring me the most joy — a good cup of coffee, a new book or playlist, or finding a sun spot to curl up in.

I’m a creative at heart — I love watching movies, photography, and just playing around with ideas in whatever form feels fun that day.
