Hi, I’m Sarah Yosra Azzam, a Registered Psychotherapist and founder of Nova Therapy.

You may know exactly what you would like support with, or you may simply know that something has been feeling difficult, overwhelming, or stuck. I work with individuals, youth, and couples experiencing concerns such as trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, life transitions, and substance use.

My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. I want therapy to feel like a conversation where you have a voice in what we focus on and how we work together. You are welcome to ask questions, let me know when something does not feel helpful, or tell me when you would like to slow down or approach something differently.

Depending on what you are experiencing and what feels useful, I may draw from approaches including EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Ego State Therapy, CBT, ACT, DBT-informed strategies, and Person-Centred Therapy. In couples therapy, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. You do not need to know which approach is right for you before starting — we can decide together.

You also do not need to arrive knowing exactly what to say. We can begin with what has been happening lately, what has been difficult, or what you would like to understand more clearly, and go from there at a pace that feels manageable.

I offer in-person psychotherapy in Toronto and Thornhill, with virtual sessions available across Ontario. A free 15-minute consultation is available if you would like to ask questions and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
