Rabia is a Registered Social Worker, having graduated with a Master of Social Work degree from Wilfred Laurier University in 2010. She is a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. She uses a mix of therapeutic methods including Mindfulness, Trauma Release, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Inner Child Therapy.
She works together with clients, getting to understand them and their experiences, both internal and external. She believes that giving ourselves the opportunity to get to know ourselves better leads to finding themes and common threads, as well as strengths and abilities that come to the surface.
In therapy an emphasis is placed on not just the mental body, but also the physical and emotional bodies, learning to understand how they work together and impact one another. While our physical body can be in only one place at a time, our emotions and mind are not confined in such a way. They can travel, sometimes to pain from our past, or worries about the future. This ability of our mind to wander can at times cause us suffering. But it is also this very vastness of our minds which is a Powerhouse of Healing.
