My name is Haleh Samimi. I am a mental health counsellor with over 20 years of experience.
My practice centres on a simple idea:
The answers to life’s questions, problems, and challenges lie within ourselves. However, when we experience upheaval—emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual—we can become alienated and disconnected from ourselves.
My clients include children, youth and adults. The areas of challenges I have worked with include symptoms of:
Anxiety
Grief and Loss
Depression
Addictions
Generational Trauma
Suicidal Ideation and Behavior
Family Issues
Phobias
Post Traumatic Stress symptoms
Obsessive Compulsive symptoms
Performance Anxiety
Victimization/Poor Self Image
Victimization/Sexual Abuse
Relationship Issues/Infidelity
Codependency
Job Related Stress
Pain Management
Memory Enhancement
I work with people by asking questions and exploring new and innovative ways of looking at oneself, our ever-changing world, and the relationships in our lives. My clients have experienced life-long results, with a high rate of success. I believe this to be true because my method focuses on empowering people to heal themselves.
Education & Qualifications

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and certified in advanced Accelerated Resolution Therapy ®, Motivational Psychology®, Violence Threat Risk Assessment® (from CCTATR), Focus on Integrated Treatment® (from Hazelden), Trust Technique®, Suicide Prevention, Mediation and Conflict Resolution.
