Feeling stuck? You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Hi, I’m Sogol Shams, Ph.D., RCC, and I’m here to support you. Whether you’re an adult struggling with relationship challenges, past trauma, or adjusting to life in a new country, or you’re the parent of a youth who is struggling with emotional regulation at home or school, you deserve a safe space to explore your emotions and find a path forward.

With a Ph.D. in Psychology and years of hands-on experience with CBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, and Play Therapy, I specialize in working with youth struggling with anxiety, ADHD, anger management, bullying, and more, as well as adults facing anxiety, substance abuse, self-sabotaging behaviour, trauma, self-esteem, grief and loss, and much more. 

My approach is warm, compassionate, and deeply insightful—I’m here to help you uncover patterns, heal past wounds, and develop the tools you need to move forward with confidence.

As an immigrant myself, I understand the unique struggles of adapting to a new culture. If you or your family are navigating these challenges, I provide culturally sensitive and affordable counselling to help you feel more at home in your life.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Let’s connect—book a free 20-minute consultation today, and let’s take the first step together.
