You don't have to keep surviving on autopilot. If the past still controls how you feel, how you sleep, or how close you let people get — therapy can help you reclaim your life. Schema-based trauma therapy in English or Farsi.
If you recognized yourself in any of these, you are not broken. These are normal responses to experiences that overwhelmed your capacity to cope.
Schema therapy goes beneath surface symptoms to address the deep emotional patterns trauma creates. This isn't about quick fixes — it's about understanding why you respond the way you do and changing those patterns from the root.
Trauma healing requires more than talking about what happened. Emotion-focused techniques help you process what's stored in your body and emotions, not just your thoughts. Every session is paced to what feels safe for you.
As an Iranian immigrant herself, Ghazal understands how culture, family systems, and migration shape the experience of trauma. Sessions in English and Farsi — because healing works best in the language your pain lives in.
Trained in both Iran (Kharazmi University) and Canada (Yorkville University), with over a decade of clinical experience. CRPO registered, with a verified Psychology Today profile.

Mississauga is a city built for ambition — Canada's seventh largest, packed with head offices, warehousing and the airport's constant pull, a place where a great many people are stretched thin between long work hours and the life waiting at home. It is also extremely diverse, with very large South Asian communities and significant Middle Eastern and newcomer populations, all chasing some version of a better future. In that forward motion, the past can be hard to feel until it interrupts: a sleepless night, a short fuse, a distance from the people you love that you can't quite close.
The commuter rhythm here doesn't leave much room for the inner life. You drive, you deliver, you hold it together for everyone counting on you, and the old wounds wait. Trauma is patient that way. It shapes how readily you trust, how safe you let yourself feel, how deeply you rest — and it does so quietly, often dressed up as just being tired or just being busy, until the day it can no longer pass for either.
Schema-based trauma therapy slows things down enough to see the patterns underneath. The vigilance, the bracing, the difficulty letting anyone fully in — these once protected you, and they can be understood and softened rather than carried forever. The aim isn't to erase your history but to keep it from running your present.
A fuller, steadier life is within reach, even from inside a busy schedule. Ghazal Sheikhtaheri, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), CRPO #21300, offers trauma therapy entirely online — to Mississauga and anywhere in Ontario, in both English and Farsi.
