ABOUT RIFFAT

"I am passionate about my work in the field of Psychotherapy, and I take pride in providing compassionate, empathetic, non-judgemental and trusting therapeutic relationship throughout the process."

My aim is providing a compassionate, empathetic, non-judgmental, and trusting therapeutic relationship to my clients. I strive to empower you to overcome your personal emotional barriers to improve overall mental health, develop life skills and inner strength, and move on successfully. My work is client centered using a variety of modalities such as CBT, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness and Hypnotherapy, either individually or in combination according to your unique needs. I have experience working outside of Canada with a diverse clientele presenting with a variety of issues.

In my work experience with children, teens and adolescents who have faced traumatic events including childhood emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, I help my clients to get over the trauma and anxiety arising because of abuse and become positive and resilient in their lives. I have also been working with young adults struggling with relationship issues, and individuals looking to gain more understanding of themselves and be more productive.

I understand children and youth can express their fears, sadness, anxiety or stress as acting out behaviours, aggression, anger or hyperactivity. I help children express their emotions and feelings through play therapy combined with talk therapy. I work with families and parents as partners in the treatment process. I offer child and youth therapy to refugee claimant children who may have experienced trauma or witnessed violence prior to arriving in Canada.

I have had the privilege of coming from a different country and occupying different jobs that allowed me to experience meaningful engagement with many people from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds, abilities, and life stages. Interacting with diverse cultures has profoundly enhanced my compassion and humility for all humanity. This invaluable experience has shaped my personal journey towards helping others seek clarity and direction, finding balance and a deeper understanding of oneself.

In my free time, I love to read books, enjoy cooking and experiment with new recipes, socializing with friends and going on drives around town to explore hidden natural beauties in and around Ottawa.
