For years I couldn't fall asleep without replaying every conversation in my head. I went in expecting to be told to journal or breathe more. Niousha didn't try to fix me, she helped me see what was running underneath. The overthinking is still there sometimes, but it doesn't run me anymore.
As an Iranian woman, finding a therapist who understands my culture mattered. With Niousha I can switch to Farsi when there are no English words. I don't have to explain what taarof is or why certain things are hard. She just understands.
Honestly, I was very skeptical. Came in mostly because my partner pushed me. Four sessions in and I was crying about my dad and I haven't cried in maybe a decade. I don't know how she does it but she does.
I'd been calling it "just tired" for years. She was the first person who actually took that seriously.
I'd done therapy before, twice, and stopped both times. With Niousha I never felt analyzed. About eight months in, I noticed I had stopped flinching at sounds that used to set me off. I can't point to a single session where it shifted, but it shifted.
My partner and I had been having the same fight for two years. Two years!! Niousha never took sides, she just slowed it all down so we could actually hear what the other was saying. We still have the same fights but they end differently now.
FAQ
The consultation is a relaxed conversation, not a clinical intake. We talk about what's bringing you here, what you're hoping to work on, and whether we feel like a good fit. There is no pressure to book a follow-up. If we are a fit, we'll schedule your first full session together.
There isn't a threshold. People reach out with everything from "something feels off and I can't name it" to clear, long-standing patterns they're ready to work on. If you've been thinking about therapy at all, that's already worth taking seriously. The free consultation is a no-pressure way to figure out if working together makes sense for what you're dealing with.
Fit matters as much as method. Many people who felt therapy didn't work had a therapist who wasn't the right match, or an approach that didn't fit how they think and feel. Niousha works flexibly, drawing on mindfulness-based CBT, somatic work, and trauma-informed care depending on what's most useful for you. The consultation is where we figure out together whether this is likely to land differently.
All sessions are online, by secure video. You can attend from anywhere in Ontario. For couples work, both partners need to be physically located in Ontario at the time of the session. You'll receive a private video link before each appointment.
Standard sessions are 45 minutes. Most clients meet weekly to start, then move to bi-weekly or as-needed once the work has rhythm. The cadence is something we decide together based on what's most useful for you, not a fixed schedule.
Individual psychotherapy sessions are $180 CAD for 45 minutes. Couples therapy is $220 CAD for 45 minutes. The initial consultation is free, with no obligation to continue. Receipts are provided after each session for insurance reimbursement where applicable.
Yes. After each session, you'll receive a receipt with my CRPO registration number that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Most extended health plans in Ontario cover Registered Psychotherapy. Check with your insurer for plan-specific coverage and limits.
Yes. Therapy is confidential, with the limited exceptions Ontario law requires (risk of imminent harm to self or others, suspected abuse of a minor, or a court subpoena). We'll review confidentiality together in our first session and I'll answer any questions you have.
Life happens. I ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session without charge. Cancellations within 24 hours are billed at the full session fee. The free consultation can be rescheduled at any time, no fee.
