Hello, my name is Tamanna Alam. Thank you for taking the time to read more about me.​

I am a dedicated, compassionate practitioner who integrates a trauma-informed care approach, fostering healing and transformation. With a solid academic background in psychology and neuroscience from the University of Toronto, along with ongoing pursuit of a Masters in Psychology, I deeply appreciate the intricate connection between the mind and body.

As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, cultural humility is extremely important to me. I recognize the diversity of experiences and backgrounds that shape each individual’s journey. I am dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive space where cultural nuances are honoured and respected throughout the therapeutic process. With an unwavering dedication to my client’s well-being, I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment where individuals can explore their experiences, discover inner wisdom, and find growth and transformation. By centering therapy around the needs and goals of each client, I empower them to embark on a healing journey with trust, understanding, and empowerment as guiding forces.

My therapeutic style is rooted in a strength-based, client-centred approach that emphasizes collaboration and empowerment. By creating a safe and nurturing space, I guide individuals on a profound journey toward healing, inspired by the insightful words of Rumi: “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” I believe that true healing arises from within and employ tailored interventions and empathetic listening to support clients in unlocking their inner resilience and navigating their unique paths to healing.

At my core, I exemplify a commitment to the philosophy that healing and transformation are attainable for every individual. Through my expertise and empathetic guidance, I recognize that our wounds are not just sources of pain but also gateways to self- discovery, inner strength, and the light that can illuminate our lives.

To assist clients in achieving their goals, I utilize an integrative approach that combines various evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Adlerian psychotherapy. This comprehensive strategy allows me to tailor the treatment to individual needs and enhance the overall therapeutic process for my clients.
