Hi, I am Aqsa Javaid, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) providing affordable, sliding‑scale counselling ($20–$75) online anywhere in Ontario and in person in Vaughan/Woodbridge. Clients often find me by searching phrases like South Asian therapist Toronto, low‑cost trauma counselling Ontario, Urdu or Hindi‑speaking CBT therapist, or IFS therapy for people‑pleasing and perfectionism.

As a Pakistani immigrant woman, I understand the delicate balance between cultural expectations and personal well‑being. Whether you are wrestling with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, ADHD, intergenerational stress, or that relentless need to please, I weave together CBT, Somatic techniques, IFS, Emotion‑Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to create sessions tailored to who you are and where you hope to go. My background in crisis lines, non-profit work, children’s education, and mental health intake keeps therapy practical, down‑to‑earth, and culturally attuned.

You can expect a gentle, judgment‑free space to unpack tough emotions, learn body‑calming skills, and re‑author your story with actionable tools you can practice between sessions. Evening and weekend appointments are available, and receipts can be used for insurance reimbursement.

Beyond the therapy room, I recharge by baking new dessert recipes, exploring Ontario’s hiking trails, and laughing at the antics of my cats, Mika and Fifi. If you are ready to reclaim your voice and move from self‑doubt to confident, values‑aligned living, book your free 15‑minute consult today, let’s begin your path to healing together.
