Shema Hassan

My name is Shema Hassan and I practice from a compassionate client-centred lens. I strongly believe my clients are the authors of their lives, and I will be there to guide them every step of the way. We have all gone through trials, fallen off course, and felt lost at one point or another. If you are reading this, that means you have taken the first step in changing your life. I will be there to help you navigate through these obstacles. I will walk alongside you and help you adapt better coping mechanisms and work with you to formulate a plan on the road to healing.

 As a Registered Social Worker with a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Ryerson University and a Masters of Social Work degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. I specialize in teens, adults, grief counselling and life coaching, I also provide counselling for individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, self-limiting beliefs, feeling stuck relationship issues and burnout. The theoretical approaches I implement are based on my client’s unique needs and include CBT, strength-based and solution-focused therapy. I practice from a culturally sensitive lens and offer faith-based therapy, utilizing an anti-oppression framework. 

With over 10 years of professional experience, I have worked with a diverse range of clients both in person and virtually. I have experienced overcoming grief, intergenerational trauma and post postpartum anxiety. I was able to work through these issues and learn new coping mechanisms, change my negative habits, and rewire my brain to become the best version of myself. We are all broken in some way or another. However, we do not have to stay broken. Due to my personal and professional experience, I have been able to help countless individuals like yourself transform, heal and grow. I am committed to helping you do the same
