About Me

Sanaria Hussain, RSW,
LMSW, CCTP

I'm an Iraqi-Canadian therapist and social worker. I've worked in the mental health and anti-violence field for the past 6 years, helping individuals cultivate a sense of inner safety, self-compassion, and growth. Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time in nature, singing, and cuddling with my two cats.

About Therapy

Healing and Growing

I'm passionate about helping individuals and romantic partners navigate emotional triggers, and improve their relationships with themselves and others.

Most of my experience lies in treating trauma, attachment/relationship issues, anxiety, and depression. I use various modalities, including Internal Family Systems and Somatic Attachment, to help clients tune into their inner experience, access deeper awareness, and cultivate compassion and healing for their past and present wounds.

My practice is rooted in values of anti-oppression; my goal is to provide a supportive space for folks who historically haven’t felt safe or affirmed in traditional therapy settings. You deserve a non-judgmental, accepting environment to explore your truest self.
