About Nesrine:
I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, including grief, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and religious trauma. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring that each session is uniquely tailored to your needs.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a technique designed to help reprocess traumatic memories. Additionally, I integrate various therapeutic approaches to meet your specific needs, including Person-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy and collaboration; Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which highlights your strengths and focuses on practical solutions; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which explores the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps align actions with values while embracing emotions; and Narrative Therapy (NT), which empowers you by reframing the stories you tell about yourself.
As an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) with 20 years of experience in education, I have developed a profound understanding of growth, resilience, and the power of connection. These experiences, alongside my personal journey through trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety, equip me with a unique blend of empathy and professional expertise.
I am passionate about supporting adolescents, adults, and educators. I aim to provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. I believe in the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of hope. No matter how difficult your current path may feel, we can work together to uncover new ways forward, build clarity and strength, and create a more fulfilling life.
I offer both in-person and online sessions to accommodate your needs. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, playing squash, and swimming—activities that bring me balance and joy.
If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be honored to support you. Let’s begin this journey together.

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.
No, your therapist is not a medical doctor and cannot prescribe medication. To obtain a prescription for medication, please speak with your family doctor or request a referral for an appointment with a psychiatrist.
