Are you tired of feeling trapped in a cycle of pain and exhaustion? Do you long for a sense of relief and hope in your life? If so, I'm here to extend a guiding hand on your journey toward healing and well-being. I am Sara Ahmadian, a compassionate BIPOC counsellor specializing in ADHD, chronic illness, and immigration. I'm dedicated to helping you break free from the burdens that weigh you down. In our sessions, I provide a safe and nurturing space for you to slow down, process your emotions, and make sense of your experiences. Together, let's pave the way for a brighter and more fulfilling life.

As an immigrant, woman of colour, and a neurodivergent individual with chronic illness, I deeply understand the negative impact of marginalization and institutional structures on mental health. In our sessions, we create a safe space to explore and address these influences, supporting your overall well-being.

Let's work collaboratively to explore your emotions, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies for positive change. Relief, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose are within your reach. Take that brave step forward and reach out to me today. I offer both in-person and virtual services.
