About me

My name is Nasim Mahin and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association providing psychotherapy services in Ottawa. I hold Bachelors degrees in Psychology and Film Studies from Carleton University, and a Masters degree in Counselling and Spirituality from Saint Paul University.

I have over five years of experience working with children, youth, adults, and families in a variety of therapeutic settings.

I work from a client-centred approach, and strive to create a calm and inviting environment that fosters open communication and expression, and allows for individuals to actualize their self-determined goals.

My unique educational background allows me to utilize films in therapeutic ways to help clients cope with and process their live events.  I also like to utilize play, music, and art therapy techniques to help clients work through some of their struggles.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy services in English, Farsi, and Azerbaijani Turkish.

I have experience in the following areas:

• Acculturation and Dual cultural identities
• Adoption and blended families
• Anger and domestic violence
• Anxiety
• Eating Disorders and disordered eating
• Family of origin dynamics
• Low mood and depressive symptoms
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD)

• Self-esteem and body image issues
• Sexual and physical trauma
• Special needs and dual diagnosis populations/ Caregivers and siblings
