Dr. Fatemeh Hamzaviabedi, PhD.

I am a psychologist who works with adults experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, stress, adjustment difficulties, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves and explore what they are going through. I work both in person and virtually and welcome clients from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. My approach to therapy is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-Based therapies. I believe that therapy is not only about managing symptoms, but also about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthening resilience, and creating a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique experiences, needs, and goals, and aim to help clients feel supported, empowered, and understood throughout the process. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading, and appreciating the small moments of calm and balance that everyday life can offer.
