AVIN SAGGAFI MSW, RSW, Registered EMDRIA Therapist

With over 17 years of experience, I have learned the power of counselling and its ability to help individuals from all walks of life. Counselling allows you to explore options, find solutions, develop coping strategies, identify strengths, while inducing self-empowerment and resiliency.

My practice is guided by providing you a safe, judgement free environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings with ease. Together we can cultivate coping strategies and solutions tailored to your needs and strengths. 

I work with most challenges that bring someone to counselling including stress, anxiety, co-parenting, teen issues, identity, addiction, women's issues, and any obstacles that might arise during the life course. I provide counselling to children, youth, individuals, couples, and families. If you are feeling stuck and overwhelmed, we might be a good fit.

Using a strength-based, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach, I work collaboratively with my client's primarily from a solution focused therapy model while pulling knowledge from other modalities like CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Emotion Focused Therapy, and Adaptive Information Processing (AIP). 

In addition to being a registered social worker and EMDR therapist, I regularly facilitate workshops, and engage in professional development opportunities. 

In my spare time you can find me with my daughter, spending time with family, and enjoying nature. 

I am verified by Psychology Today and EMDRIA Approved Therapist
