Sara Gharibi, M.Psy., R.P.
Maybe your life feels like a storm right now, and you’re just trying to navigate it, or find something to anchor yourself to. Therapy offers a space to pause, find steadier ground, and reconnect with your strengths. In our work together, we’ll take the time to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
My passion lies in supporting those who have felt small, overlooked, or minimized in their relationships, communities, work, or the world. Together, we will focus on reclaiming self-worth, asserting yourself effectively, and building connections that feel authentic and empowering.
Many of the people I work with find that the same patterns show up across different parts of life, in relationships, at work, and in how they relate to themselves. Areas of focus include:
- Relationship challenges: conflict, difficulty trusting others, communication struggles
- Self-esteem, social anxiety, and difficulty taking up space, speaking up, or setting boundaries
- Burnout and difficult workplace dynamics
- Anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma (including complex and long-term trauma)
I have a special commitment to working with multicultural identities, LGBTQ2S+ communities, and Indigenous peoples, with recognition of the importance of belonging, identity, and healing from trauma.
My approach is integrative and humanistic, tailored to each person’s unique needs. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and client-centred therapies, incorporating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) where helpful. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to take up the space you deserve.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) with a Master of Psychology from Adler Graduate Professional School, where I am also completing my Doctor of Psychology (PsyD).
I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional lands of Indigenous peoples. I strive to honour their resilience, histories, and healing traditions by grounding my work in respect, cultural humility, and an anti-oppressive framework, one that also informs how I support clients navigating multicultural identity and belonging.
I offer care in English, French, and Farsi, so you can express yourself in the language that feels most natural.
Which part of you is bringing you to therapy today; the part that believes change is possible?
In our work together, I will address that health-driven part of you, because it will guide you toward the answers you’re seeking.
