About Emad Awadalla:
School pressure. Family conflict. A teenager who won’t talk. A parent who doesn’t know what else to try.
A couple going in circles. Someone who can’t shake the weight of their past. A person who looks fine on the outside but feels anything but.
A young adult who feels lost. Not sure what they want, where they are headed, or why nothing seems to hold their interest anymore.
If any of that sounds familiar, Emad has been in that room.
With over 30 years of experience working with people through some of life’s most difficult moments, Emad brings a rare combination of credentials to his practice. As both an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), he has a gift for taking complex emotional experiences and making them easier to understand and work through, without jargon, without judgment, and without rushing the process.
He works with individuals, couples, and families dealing with:
Emad uses several approaches depending on what each client needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and shift the thought patterns that keep them stuck. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) builds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples and families understand the deeper feelings driving
conflict and disconnect. Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people make sense of the different, sometimes conflicting, parts of themselves.
His work is also shaped by an understanding of trauma and how early or difficult experiences can quietly influence how we think, feel, and relate to others today.
Emad works at a pace that fits each person. Some clients want tools they can use right away. Others need space to process something they have been carrying for a long time. Most need both.
Emad works with young adults, individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds and offers sessions in English, French, and Arabic.

A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through a variety of therapeutic approaches. In 2007, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) defined psychotherapists in Ontario as “regulated health professionals,” which means that all psychotherapists in Ontario need to be licensed members of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and to utilize the formal title of “Registered Psychotherapist (RP).”
A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) holistically believes that your relationships with others (for example, with your family members) represent an essential aspect of your life and personal well-being and that your counselling process is more effective if he or she fully considers all of your relationships within her or her treatment plan for you. A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is a Pre-Clinical Fellow within the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT).
A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through numerous therapeutic modalities. A psychologist may work in a variety of possible roles, from teaching psychology courses in universities and engaging in academic research to counselling clients and administering advanced psychological assessments. A psychiatrist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment (mainly through psychotropic medication) of mental or psychiatric disorders. A social worker helps people to resolve issues of everyday life (including through counselling services) and to access government and community resources.
