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.

NoorMinds provides virtual trauma therapy to residents throughout Ontario. Select your city to learn more:
Newmarket keeps a small-town heart — a historic Main Street, a quieter pace in northern York Region — even as commuters head south into the GTA and the population grows more diverse with each passing year. There's comfort in that gentler rhythm, but quiet places have their own particular loneliness. When the town feels settled and ordinary and you are still wrestling with an old wound, the contrast can make the wound feel even more invisible.
Life here turns on retail, healthcare and local services, with many residents making the commute toward Toronto and back. A steady, family-oriented existence can coexist with a past that refuses to stay in the past — surfacing as sleep that won't hold, as a wariness that keeps people at a careful distance, as reactions that seem to come from nowhere, as a feeling of being subtly on guard in a place that is, by every outward measure, safe. Trauma is like that. It doesn't need a dramatic life to keep shaping a quiet one.
Schema-based trauma therapy turns toward the early patterns underneath — the ways you once learned to protect yourself that still run beneath your present. Seen clearly and unhurriedly, they begin to release their grip, and daily life starts to feel more like your own. There is real hope in this work, and it does not require you to revisit the worst of what you carry in order to set some of it down.
Distance from the city is no distance from good care. Ghazal Sheikhtaheri, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), CRPO #21300, offers trauma therapy entirely online — to Newmarket and anywhere in Ontario, in both English and Farsi.
