Dana is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with more than 10 years of experience working in private practice, hospital, and community settings. She supports individuals and couples who are navigating challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, attachment, and relationship difficulties.

Dana’s approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centred. She believes that feeling safe, heard, and understood is an important part of the therapeutic process, and she strives to create a space where you can be yourself without judgment.

Dana’s work brings together psychoanalytic and cognitive approaches, drawing from Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) strategies. This allows you and Dana to explore deeper patterns and experiences while also developing practical tools to help you navigate everyday challenges and create meaningful change.

Dana also provides culturally sensitive care and welcome conversations around immigration, identity, and life transitions. Having built her own life and professional career in a new country, she understands that starting over and finding a sense of belonging can bring both challenges and opportunities for growth.

Dana offers counselling in English and Spanish and welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and identities.

Dana offers virtual services only.

Many of my clients are people who have learned to survive by being strong. They are professionals, caregivers, immigrants, partners, and high-functioning adults who carry trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, or the impact of gender-based violence, often without anyone truly seeing the weight they hold.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #25111) with advanced clinical experience in private practice and forensic mental health. I currently work within a Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) team with the Provincial Health Services Authority, supporting individuals with complex trauma, concurrent disorders, severe and persistent mental illness, and justice system involvement. My work has placed me at the intersection of trauma, addiction, violence, and systemic barriers, where stability, safety, and accountability must be rebuilt carefully and skillfully.

I specialize in trauma recovery, gender-based violence, concurrent disorders, emotional regulation, and attachment injuries. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and trauma-informed care. My work is structured, clinically grounded, and deeply relational.

As an immigrant, mother, and woman who rebuilt her professional life in a new country while pursuing advanced education, I understand resilience beyond theory. I bring cultural awareness, directness, and steady presence into the therapy room.

I provide counselling in English, Dari, and Farsi. Clients describe my approach as calm, grounded, and precise. Therapy with me is not about fixing you. It is about helping you move from survival mode into clarity, strength, and self-trust, with accountability, compassion, and real psychological tools that create lasting change.

Sahar offers both in person and virtual appointments.
