how Haifa is transforming mental health care
Haifa Behbahani is a holistic, client-centered therapist who creates a supportive space where individuals can navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and self-trust. She supports adults in understanding what’s keeping them stuck, identifying patterns, and developing strategies for sustainable change.
Haifa integrates Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Solutions-Focused Therapy (SFT), and mindfulness practices to tailor sessions to each client’s unique needs. She helps clients reconnect with their inner strength while navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and a variety of life challenges.
Haifa is fluent in English and Farsi and offers virtual therapy sessions across Ontario, Alberta, and other locations in Canada.
her therapy approach
On the outside, you may feel like you’re “just fine,” but inside you might be exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. Tension may appear in relationships, work may feel draining, or a life transition may leave you second-guessing yourself. Haifa provides a space where therapy is supportive, collaborative, and paced to your needs—without judgment or pressure.
She believes therapy is not about being “fixed.” Instead, it is a space to explore, learn, and grow. Breakthrough moments often feel like quiet shifts of awareness, when clarity replaces confusion, and a sense of inner calm emerges.
Haifa often brings mindfulness, breathwork, reframing, and creative tools into sessions to help clients deepen self-awareness and cultivate resilience. She emphasizes reconnecting with the body, mind, and spirit for a holistic experience of healing.
Haifa supports individuals and couples with a wide range of challenges, including:
Anxiety, depression, and stress
Emotional regulation and self-esteem
Family conflict and relationship challenges
Work, school, and life transitions
Burnout, ADHD, and women’s issues
Codependency and personal development
Spirituality, career guidance, and coping skills
She is most passionate about helping clients rediscover resilience, find joy and peace, and reconnect with their inner strengths.

what to expect in therapy with Haifa
Haifa believes that healing means reconnecting with yourself—mind, body, and spirit. She draws inspiration from the quiet courage of her clients and finds fulfillment in witnessing moments when clients begin to trust themselves again and experience hope and empowerment.
Outside of therapy, Haifa recharges through moments of stillness, walks outdoors, time with loved ones, sunlight, nature, and music—simple practices that ground her in the midst of life’s busyness.
