Michael Sa'd, Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist at Toronto Talk Therapy. Over decade of experience in the mental health service sector working at the Centre of Mental Health and Addictions, York University, and Health Canada.

Your Mental Health is Important!

With over a decade of experience as a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist specializing in tailored individual and couples counselling, I have worked with over 10,000+ clients, helping them solution their personal, professional, mental health goals.

Working in respected institutions in the Toronto area, such as the Centre for Addiction & Mental Health (CAMH)York University, and Health Canada, has given me a deep understanding of individuals' mental health and life transition challenges and their diverse and complex needs and helping to get there.

My philosophy is rooted in empathy and commitment to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your unique and important concerns and work toward meaningful and lasting change.

Approach 

My approach is trauma-informed and integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to support clients facing a wide range of challenges. In our work, we can help you with practical strategies and skills to manage overwhelming emotions and regain balance. We may address your trauma and past experiences affecting your current relationships and life. Together, we will work towards identifying your specific goals and achieving practical solutions.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward emotional well-being, I invite you to schedule a Free 15-minute Initial Consultation today.
