Miriam Ismail is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, and periods of change.

 

She has a particular focus on supporting teens and students who are trying to manage the pressure of school while also navigating friendships, family expectations, self-esteem, and figuring out who they are. For some, this looks like constantly worrying about grades or the future. For others, it’s struggling with motivation, feeling behind, comparing themselves to everyone else, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everything they’re expected to manage.

 

Miriam also works with young adults and adults who feel stuck or unsure of what comes next. This can include adjusting to university or the workforce, changes in relationships or identity, grieving a loss, experiencing burnout, or going through a period where life just doesn’t feel like it used to.

 

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. She creates a non-judgmental space to talk openly about what’s going on, better understand the patterns contributing to how you feel, and develop strategies that can actually be used outside of therapy.

 

Miriam draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and tailors her approach to each client. She holds a double major undergraduate degree in Psychology and Health Sciences, with a minor in Disability Studies.

 

Whether you’re struggling with school, adjusting to a new stage of life, grieving a loss, or simply feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start, Miriam can help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and begin moving forward.
