Raheel Rahman

Raheel has worked as a Child and Youth Mental Health Clinician for over four years in rural and urban communities, providing mental health services to children and youth suffering from serious emotional, psychological, behavioural, and psychiatric illnesses. He has a great commitment to providing the highest standard of quality care to individuals, families, and communities, contributing positive mental health services that can improve the quality of life of his clients.

He uses his knowledge of neurodevelopmental conditions to support children and youth diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). He works closely with children, youth, and parents on developing skills of social interaction, self-regulation, emotional expression, and perspective-taking.

Raheel has completed training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Early Psychosis Intervention, Trauma-Informed Approach to Practice, and Complex Care Intervention. He has co-facilitated ADHD groups for parents, DBT groups for teens, and anxiety groups for children and teens.

Raheel integrates his background to focus on the mind-body connection when working with adults dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, life stress, and accepting times of change and transition. Raheel has a passion for helping clients and considers it a great honour and privilege when clients share their lives with him and allow him to walk with them on their personal journey.

Raheel offers family counselling, children’s counselling, group counselling, individual counselling, and couples counselling. His areas of practice include supporting clients through acute trauma, ADHD and ADD, anxiety, depression, complex trauma, birth trauma, and anger management.

To support this range of concerns, Raheel draws on complex trauma therapy and OEI when working through past trauma and often turns to emotionally focused therapy or EMDR for deeper emotional processing. For building day-to-day coping skills, he frequently uses DBT and CBT, adapting his approach to whatever fits each client best.

Raheel sees clients in person at our Surrey Newton, King George/74th Ave location, as well as through virtual care sessions for clients anywhere in BC.
