Are you feeling anxious, stuck, or emotionally drained?
You may be supporting everyone around you—yet feel unseen, unheard, or exhausted yourself. Maybe past trauma is resurfacing, or relationships feel heavier than ever.
This is a space for you to slow down, feel safe, and reconnect—with yourself and with what truly matters.
You deserve support that’s compassionate, grounded, and tailored to you.
Meet Shima
Hi, I’m Shima Sartipi—Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Farsi-speaking therapist, and someone deeply passionate about creating safe, meaningful change.
I help individuals, couples, and families navigate a wide range of challenges including:
-
Anxiety, stress & panic attacks
-
Relationship issues & communication struggles
-
Trauma & PTSD
-
Depression & emotional overwhelm
-
Low self-worth or identity concerns
-
Parenting & family dynamics
With over 10 years of experience and advanced training in trauma-informed care, I blend evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, EFT, and culturally sensitive counselling to meet you where you are.
Whether you’re coping with a recent life transition or past wounds that still linger, I offer therapy in both English and Farsi—so you can express yourself in the language that feels most natural.
What I Value
Compassion. Clarity. Cultural Awareness.
I believe healing happens in a space where you feel safe to be your full self—without judgment, shame, or pressure.
As a therapist, I meet my clients with genuine warmth, clinical expertise, and an openness to your unique story. Whether you’re a newcomer navigating change or someone working through deep-rooted emotional pain, my goal is to support you with care and honesty.
My Approach
I use a blend of evidence-based practices tailored to your needs. These include:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to help manage negative thought patterns
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to build resilience and psychological flexibility
-
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) – to support emotional healing in individuals and couples
-
Culturally Sensitive & Trauma-Informed Therapy – honouring your background, values, and lived experience
Your sessions are collaborative—we’ll explore what’s working, what’s hurting, and how you want to grow.
