Sofian Ayyad
I provide psychotherapy to adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and challenges related to career, relationships, and life transitions. Together, we will explore the issues you are facing by focusing on your unique experience including your present thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. We will work collaboratively to help you better understand your emotions, gain new insight into your behaviours, consider new perspectives, and build the skills and resilience you need to make meaningful, positive changes.
I also support the psychological assessment services at Renew Psychotherapy, assisting our clinical psychologists with assessments for first responders, injured workers, and personal injury claimants. I bring over a decade of experience in mental health, including extensive work with culturally diverse populations, which informs my attention to linguistic, cultural, and contextual factors in both therapy and assessment support.
In addition, I provide clinical supervision to practicum students completing their counselling psychology training and to psychotherapists working toward autonomous practice.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate University. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a PhD Candidate completing doctoral training in Clinical Psychology at Fielding Graduate University, an APA-accredited program.
