Kamar Raad

Counselor

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying in Ontario) and Counselor, I am passionate about Emotion-Focused Therapy, as well as humanistic and existential approaches, I work from a holistic perspective—honouring each client’s inner wisdom and unique journey. I believe that every person inherently knows what is best for them; my role is to guide and support them in discovering their own answers and finding authentic, meaningful solutions. I understand the diverse challenges life presents at different stages. I also believe that our identities evolve naturally, shaped by life experiences and transitions. My approach is grounded in the understanding that the body, mind, and soul are deeply interconnected. Often, our symptoms serve as signals, inviting us to pay closer attention to areas in need of care and healing. In addition, I have a special interest in supporting individuals living with chronic pain and chronic health conditions. I understand how ongoing physical challenges can impact not only the body, but also one’s emotions, relationships, identity, and sense of purpose. In my work, I help clients navigate the emotional toll of pain and illness, address feelings of loss or isolation, and reconnect with a life of meaning and value despite health limitations. In my practice, I integrate Emotion-Focused Therapy, somatic therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Pain reprocessing psychotherapy (PRT), narrative therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support individuals, couples, and families. Whether navigating personal growth, relational dynamics, or life transitions, I help clients connect more deeply with themselves and those around them—fostering resilience, healing, and lasting change.
