Client Testimonial
“Working with Zareen has been truly life changing for me. I had worked with many different counsellors and therapists over the years; my connection with Zareen has transformed my relationship with myself and with others around me in a remarkably positive way. I started working with Zareen when she was still completing her practicum. Even though she was just starting to work with patients, she immediately understood my needs, made me feel comfortable and created a safe space where I could show up authentically. Parts work was exactly what I needed in order to understand myself fully and Zareen recognized this right away. I am beyond grateful that I was matched with Zareen through her practicum and have been able to stay her patient now that she is fully registered. I plan on continuing to work with her for the foreseeable future and cannot recommend her enough as a counsellor!” -C.H.
“I've worked with a handful of counselors over the years, but Zareen was the first counselor to utilize Internal Family Systems and help me learn somatic practices. These have really been game changers for my C-PTSD. IFS allows me to address long-held trauma wounds without re-triggering. And Zareen is a gentle and wise guide as we work through there practices together, knowing when we need to take a pause and rest, too. Working with Zareen has been so beneficial and I've had lots of breakthroughs and triumphs in the time we've worked together, even as I navigated some of the hardest circumstances of my life. I've learned so much about emotional regulation and self soothing and I've noticed huge benefits in my day-to-day life. I really look forward to continuing our work together.” -B.
“I started meeting with Zareen in September 2025. My goal for counselling was to focus on self-confidence, managing anxiety, and handling external pressures in my life. In the beginning, I was prone to covering my issues and experiences with white lies or misdirecting the conversation; I had little compassion for my feelings and had more baggage than I expected. Within the last year, I have made massive progress towards these goals - all thanks to Zareen. With the help of Zareen, I have been able to confront the issues in my life and make a plan for the future. We were able to discuss, process, and solve issues I had compartmentalized for years. Zareen provided tools for emotional regulation, audiobooks/books she found would help me, and consistently checked in when I needed. She is patient and kind and ensures you feel completely comfortable at all times. Zareen is extremely empathetic and talented. I would recommend her to anyone!” -E.M.
“After taking a few years of hiatus from therapy, I was feeling very hesitant about starting again and meeting a new therapist. I started my sessions with Zareen at a perfect and pivotal time in my life. Big changes were rocking my world. I knew I had met Zareen for a reason, and I felt connected to her instantly. Her genuine care, passion, and understanding makes every session easy, even the hard ones. Her approach and interest on somatic healing and parts work is what really kept me motivated to keep trying and not give up, as I noticed great changes take place for me in my inner and outer worlds because of this. She creates an extremely safe space for healing to take place, and I am so grateful to have her by my side along my lifelong journey.” -S.H.
"Zareen has helped me become a more resilient person, empowering me to approach the difficulties life throws my way with confidence. More than ever before, I show up for myself and others with kindness, open-mindedness, and compassion, and am very proud of who she has helped me become.” -J.B.
“Zareen is the first therapist I've had where I truly felt heard. She is an empathetic listener and takes a multi-disciplinary approach to find what works best for the individual! I highly recommend her to anyone who's been struggling to feel seen in their own experiences.” - S.C.
