About Mahsima
Their own wordsEducation & Training
Mahsima is a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Toronto. She is trained in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Emotion Focused-Family Therapy (EFFT) and Emotion Focused Therapy for Youth (EFT-Y), and primarily works from an emotion-focused lens, helping clients process difficult emotions.

Theoretical Approach
Believing that clients are experts in their own lives, Mahsima fosters a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy. She offers a supportive, neurodiversity-affirming, and LGBTQ+-affirming space, providing non-judgmental care to help clients meet their treatment goals and navigate challenging emotions. With a background in social work, Mahsima is particularly interested in how individuals’ intersecting identities shape their experiences within personal and broader societal contexts.
Her focus is on helping clients process emotions in the present moment to promote healing and lasting change. Mahsima draws from various theoretical orientations to suit each client’s goals, including:
- Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and Emotion Focused Therapy for Youth (EFT-Y)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Mindfulness
Mahsima works with children and youth (ages 9+), adults, and parents (including those who do the work of parenting within diverse family structures). She has experience supporting clients with a wide range of concerns, including:
- Parenting challenges
- Emotion dysregulation and processing challenging emotions (e.g., anger, shame, sadness)
- Interpersonal concerns and conflicts
- Self-esteem and self-worth
- Life transitions
- Symptoms of depression and anxiety
- ADHD and executive functioning concerns
- Learning Disabilities

Personal Background
Mahsima is a first-generation Iranian-Canadian. Navigating her upbringing in Toronto allowed Mahsima to both witness and experience how one’s identity(ies), whether defined through culture, race, gender, neurodiversity, socioeconomic status, etc., shapes their stories and impacts their worldview and emotional expression. This informs her therapeutic practice. Mahsima believes having the platform to be witness to a client’s story, and all the intricacies involved in being a human living within multiple systems is a privilege. She endeavours to support clients by collaborating with them and amplifying their voice as they undergo personal growth. Mahsima recognizes her responsibility to offer a safe, open, non-judgmental and supportive space for clients to explore their treatment goals, and feel more equipped to work through hard-to-feel emotions.
