Sonia Nasri

Hello, I'm Sonia and I am a mental health therapist, registered social worker and a mother. As a trauma survivor myself, I intimately understand the profound impact that trauma can have on all aspects of a person's life. Trauma, whether it stems from abuse, neglect, violence, or loss, can leave lasting scars on our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Because I understand the impact of trauma, I believe that we need to start earlier in life with children and young people who have experienced traumatic events. Research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) highlights the far-reaching consequences of traumatic events on young children, which can have lifelong impacts, affecting not only their individual development and well-being but also their relationships. 

This personal experience, coupled with a deep commitment to helping others, has driven me to become a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals in their healing process. I have had the privilege of supporting clients  from diverse backgrounds, including refugees, war survivors, and families, as well as children and adolescents involved in the foster care system. I have also worked extensively with survivors of child sexual abuse, witnessing firsthand the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of immense pain.

Through my own healing journey and my work with others, I have come to deeply value the power of love, healing, authenticity, and connection. These values guide my therapeutic approach, fostering a safe and caring space where people  can explore their experiences, process their emotions, and reclaim their lives after trauma.

Healing from trauma is a deeply personal and relational journey! We are not meant to heal alone but in genuine and caring relationships.
