Mariyam Zaidi, MSW, RSW, MES
Trauma Therapist 

Mariyam is a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist providing online counselling across Ontario to teen girls (14+), women, couples, and families impacted by sexual abuse and sexual assault

​

Trauma can affect how we see ourselves, connect with others, and experience safety. Its impact may show up as anxiety, depression, shame, difficulty trusting, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself or those around you

.

Mariyam offers a warm, compassionate, and trauma-informed space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. She understands that every person’s experience is different and takes a collaborative approach to ensure counselling reflects each client’s needs, strengths, and goals.

​

Mariyam is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Narrative Therapy. She thoughtfully integrates these approaches to support clients in understanding their experiences, developing effective coping strategies, and creating meaningful change.
