Hello! I’m Sophia
Sophia Dahan, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), BA, MACP
I’m a registered psychotherapist offering therapy for women, couples and youth—virtually or in-person at my Kanata office. My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based practices like Emotion-Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Solution-Focused work. This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you reconnect with your needs, process what’s heavy, and create space to move forward with more clarity and calm.

Are you reeling from betrayal or infidelity?
