How she works
Her approach is grounded mainly in emotion-focused therapy and attachment-based psychotherapy, drawing on trauma-informed, CBT-informed and existential approaches as each person needs.
She sees therapy as a chance to go beyond managing symptoms and understand the emotions, relationships and experiences underneath them. She's especially interested in how early relationships, attachment, culture, identity and major life experiences shape how we see ourselves and connect with others.
Her experience
Sumia's clinical experience includes work within CAMH, Scarborough Health Network and Lakeridge Health, supporting people with trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship and attachment difficulties, substance use, identity concerns and major life transitions.
Her background in spiritual care lets her explore faith, spirituality, culture and questions of meaning with care, when they matter to you.

Teens (12 to 17) and adults, for individual therapy, in English, Urdu or Hindi. She's accepting new clients and is available every day except Thursday.
