ADAM MASOOD

As a clinical social worker, I have dedicated my career to making a positive difference in people’s lives. I believe therapy is a supportive journey through which change and healing are always possible. You will find me to be compassionate and understanding as we work to help you navigate life’s challenges.

I welcome you.

I have over eight years of experience training and working in hospitals and mental health settings in different countries.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages, youth 13+, and couples to manage life stressors and transitions and build resiliency.

I am experienced in tackling various clinical issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, PTSD, anger, interpersonal difficulties, drug and alcohol challenges, men’s issues, relationship issues and disability management.

I also have experience in counselling patients and families in coping with changes in emotions and behaviours that sometimes result from brain injury.

In my work, I draw on techniques from various evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, DBT skills training, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I tailor my approach to each client as I believe everyone is unique.

In addition to English, I speak Pashto, Urdu, Hindi and limited Persian. I’m committed to providing inclusive services for people of all backgrounds and social identities. I strive to practice in a culturally sensitive manner, welcoming clients of all genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, and religions. Our work together will be a supportive journey to discover and heal whatever is causing you disharmony in your life.

In addition to my Masters degree in Social Work, I have the following additional Professional training:

• Family-Based Treatment for Eating Disorders Certification from the University of Chicago

• Advancing Interprofessional Management of Substance Use Disorders from the University of Saskatchewan

• Complex training in DBT for Complex Disorders

• Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, spending time outdoors, hanging out with my family and enjoying a good coffee.

I work with Adults, Couples and Youth 13+.
