Azin Heydarirad, M.ACP.

Provider information

Description

I provide virtual and in-person counselling in downtown Toronto for adults who have experienced relational trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or the end of significant relationships. These experiences can impact mental health and future interactions, leading to feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, and trust issues.

In our sessions, we'll create a safe therapeutic environment focused on self-compassion and inner work. This approach helps you understand concepts of safety and self-regulation, empowering you to transform you are relationships through a deep sense of understanding of the self.

Summary

Taking on a trauma-informed, feminist, and progressive approach emphasizing the role of self-compassion, reparenting, and reframing of thoughts in attaining relief of symptoms and self-efficacy both during and beyond sessions. 

With particular attention given to how our body and nervous system store and sustain the negative impacts of trauma, as well as how our narratives and perspectives about our experiences shape or hinder our capacity to heal. 

Specialty in trauma-informed, BIPOC and Culturally-Sensitive care.
