Nasim Hosseiny

Post Practicum Intern

Born and raised in Iran, she moved to Canada three years ago in search of a place that truly felt like home. Her academic path began in dentistry, a field where she never felt she belonged, yet remained for years without a clear vision of where her heart resided. Living in an oppressive context, with limited access to the wider world, she struggled to nurture her passions within the academic system of her country. Still, she completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology before immigrating.

Born and raised in Iran, she moved to Canada three years ago in search of a place that truly felt like home. Her academic path began in dentistry, a field where she never felt she belonged, yet remained for years without a clear vision of where her heart resided. Living in an oppressive context, with limited access to the wider world, she struggled to nurture her passions within the academic system of her country. Still, she completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology before immigrating.

With two years of perseverance after her move to Canada, she found her way into the field of counselling, a path that now feels like home.

One certain thing about her: she is a multitude. Beyond therapy, she reads philosophy, watches experimental films, paints, and writes poetry. Among these passions, writing and speaking stand out most vividly. She published a collection of poems in Iran and is now working on its translation.

Nasim supports clients with immigration and acculturation, life transitions and attachment concerns, as well as boundaries, perfectionism, complex trauma and relationship concerns, including affair recovery.
