Shiwan Ibrahim
Registered Psychotherapist
Committing to Psychotherapy and Counseling services is a powerful way to improve your mental health. Whether you’re struggling with couples or marriage issues, or seeking help for anxiety, managing ADHD, therapy helps strengthen family relationships and supports healthier communication.
Hello! My name is Shiwan Ibrahim, and I am a registered psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My journey as a therapist began with a profound commitment to helping those in need, particularly immigrants and refugees. This early experience enriched my trauma-informed approach and ignited my passion for supporting individuals facing mental health challenges.
In every aspect of my work, I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and understood. I believe that healing starts with a compassionate and respectful therapeutic relationship. By allowing clients to guide our sessions, I ensure that their unique experiences and perspectives shape our collaborative efforts toward achieving their goals.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, grief-informed therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Gottman-informed therapy. Each method is tailored to meet the specific needs of my clients, ensuring a personalized and holistic experience.
Beyond individual therapy, I am dedicated to supporting clients in various areas:
Family Therapy:
I work with families to foster better communication, resolve conflicts, and build stronger, more supportive relationships. My goal is to create a harmonious and loving family environment where everyone feels valued.
