Inside Out Therapy

Nadia is warm and compassionate, and takes pride in being able to make even the most nervous little ones (and their parents) feel comfort and safety during the therapeutic process. She knows how intimidating it can be to get started, and is so grateful you are considering including her in your family's wellness journey. She recognizes the vulnerability it takes to seek help and wants to reassure parents that their proactive efforts in seeking support and planning for their child’s care are profound acts of love and devotion. 

Nadia specializes in working with children ages 3 to 12 using play-based techniques. Nadia has an undergraduate degree in Psychology, a Master of Social Work, has completed many additional post-graduate trainings and is committed to ongoing professional development. 

Nadia uses a child-centred play therapy approach (CCPT). In child-centered play therapy, the therapist creates a safe and accepting environment where the child can freely express themselves through play. Child-centered play therapy has been proven to be an effective intervention for a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, promoting resilience and positive outcomes.

Nadia has over 15 years of experience working with children, youth and young adults. Prior to entering into private practice, Nadia has worked for agencies including Kidsability, Conestoga College, The Canadian Hearing Society, Lutherwood and more.
