I’m Sarra Rashid, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) offering in-person therapy in Ottawa and virtual therapy for adults across Ontario.
I work with adults navigating complex trauma (C-PTSD), PTSD, attachment and relational trauma, anxiety, ADHD, emotion regulation, self-esteem, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. Many of the people I work with have spent years feeling like they need to hold everything together while struggling with people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, or feeling disconnected from themselves after living in survival mode.
I believe therapy is most effective when it feels safe, collaborative, and authentic. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to justify your experiences or emotions, and where every part of you is met with curiosity, compassion, and respect.
My approach is integrative and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from attachment-based therapy, relational psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed approaches, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Polyvagal Theory, and somatic-informed practices. I also provide neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming, and culturally responsive care, recognizing the important role that identity, relationships, and lived experience play in mental health.
Whether you’re looking to understand long-standing patterns, heal from trauma, improve your relationships, or reconnect with yourself, therapy can offer a place to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and begin creating meaningful change.
If you’re looking for a trauma therapist, ADHD therapist, or attachment-focused therapist in Ottawa or anywhere in Ontario through virtual therapy, I’d be happy to connect for a free 30-minute consultation to explore whether we’re a good fit.
