About NoorMinds

Three therapists. One idea about how healing works.

NoorMinds is a virtual psychotherapy practice serving all of Ontario, in English and Farsi. We work with individuals and couples, and we share one belief: that lasting change comes from genuinely understanding yourself, not from being told what to do.

The Name

What NoorMinds means

Noor (نور) is the Persian word for light: the warmth that guides you through uncertainty, and the clarity that emerges when you begin to truly understand yourself.

NoorMinds was built on the belief that this light already exists within you. Therapy is the process of uncovering it: moving from confusion and pain toward insight, connection, and a more grounded, authentic sense of who you are.

You are seen here. You are welcome here, in whatever language feels most like home.

From the Founder

Why I built this, and who I build it with.

I didn't want to build a clinic. I wanted a place where you could stop explaining yourself and start understanding yourself.

Most people arrive in therapy able to describe the problem precisely and still unable to change it. What I want for every client is the thing underneath that: to understand why you respond the way you do, and to find that the pattern has loosened its hold. Not coping better with the same life. Actually living a different one.

It is also why I am slow about who joins. I look for training I would trust with my own family, and for the part that cannot be taught: the willingness to sit with someone in the hardest chapter of their story without hurrying them out of it. Tina and Roya are here because they have both.
