As a passionate therapist, I take great joy in supporting individuals on their unique paths to healing. By cultivating a trusting and empathetic relationship, I aim to truly understand your inner world – the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that shape your journey. Your unique story, beliefs, and culture are not just respected but are essential components to shaping your treatment plan in your pursuit of healing and growth.

A bicultural identity allows me to view my clients through a culturally competent and diverse outlook. Being bilingual will give me the ability to communicate with my clients in their native tongue, whether that’s Urdu, Hindi or English. I work with a positive, mindful and compassionate approach. I understand that my clients are not defined by their struggles and together we can work through it all.

I am Mohammad Zafar, MSW, and my clients describe me as a great listener, insightful, non-judgmental, genuine, and kind. I came into therapy primarily motivated by many dismissive experiences I encountered growing up - both in public and private life. This is why I've always been interested in what I'd refer to as our “invisible voice” - the words we keep inside, too scared to share for fear of being judged, dismissed or ignored. Together, we will look to uncover your goals in therapy and work to address the issues close to you. We will take the time needed to help you along every step of the way.

I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where you can be your authentic self and feel fully accepted. In our work together, I see your strengths, gently encourage growth, and offer empathy and unconditional positive regard.
