Masooma Zehra

I am toronto based muslim, compassionate, a team player, a positive
candidate, approachable, and flexible. I have a license to practice in Ontario from
CRPO. I speak English and Urdu fluently. I am available to work during days, evenings
and weekends. My future goals are to be continually
involved in professional development that enhances my skills and overall gives me
valuable experience. I am currently enrolled in learning about other modalities like
ACT, trauma-focused CBT and EMDR.
I have experience working with children and youth with diverse backgrounds having
mental health issues and facing barriers e.g. marginalized populations. I have obtained
a bachelor’s in child development, and my interest in counselling developed during my
graduate studies. During the early years of my studies, I realized how important it is to
bring mental health awareness to our community for the sake of the children. In
future, my focus will be increasing access to effective treatment, and making quality
mental health more accessible to those in need.
