Hi I’m Lama Ghazzo
My approach to therapy is collaborative, thoughtful and compassionate. Together, we would work on identifying any roadblocks that are preventing you from being where you want to be. Depending on what your goals are for therapy, whether that is developing a deeper level of self-awareness, navigating specific life changes/challenges, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for healing, growth and self-expression.
A Little more about me...
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME…
I realized I wanted to become a Psychotherapist in my prior career as a Child and Youth Worker. I’ve always had a passion for working with young people but recognized I wanted to dive deeper into what they were experiencing in order to help them achieve their goals and overcome any challenges they face.
I have over 8 years of experience as a Child and Youth Worker working in various settings such as the school board and community. I understand the challenges young people face today and my goal is to provide a safe space to be able to explore these experiences further and provide support where needed. My master’s degree is in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and prior to this, Child and Youth Care from Toronto Metropolitan University.
When working with me, I will always prioritize your comfort level and desired pace. I will often incorporate strategies from Emotion Focussed Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT) and attachment theory.
