ADAM MASOOD

As a clinical social worker, I have dedicated my career to making a positive and meaningful difference in people’s lives. I firmly believe that therapy is a supportive and collaborative journey where healing, growth, and lasting change are always possible. You will find me compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental as we work together to navigate life’s challenges and discover your unique strengths.

I warmly welcome clients from all walks of life and am deeply committed to practicing with cultural humility and sensitivity. Understanding the importance of Indigenous worldviews, healing traditions, and intergenerational impacts, I strive to create a safe and respectful space that honours your cultural identity and lived experiences.

With over nine years of clinical experience across diverse hospital and mental health settings internationally and nationally, I bring a broad clinical skillset and an open heart to my work. I enjoy supporting individuals and couples through life stressors, transitions, and resilience-building.

My clinical expertise includes a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, PTSD, anger management, interpersonal challenges, substance use, men’s issues, relationship difficulties, and disability management. I also have specialized experience counselling individuals and families coping with emotional and behavioural changes related to brain injury.

In my therapeutic practice, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills training, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Each treatment plan is tailored to fit your individual needs, honouring your unique story and strengths.

I am fluent in Pashto, Urdu, Hindi, and have conversational skills in Persian, which enables me to connect with clients from varied cultural backgrounds. I am committed to offering inclusive services that respect all genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, religions, and social identities.

Alongside my Master’s degree in Social Work, I have pursued additional professional training, including:

• Family-Based Treatment for Eating Disorders Certification (University of Chicago)

• Advancing Interprofessional Management of Substance Use Disorders (University of Saskatchewan)

• Advanced training in DBT for Complex Disorders

• Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, spending time outdoors, connecting with my family, and savouring a good cup of coffee.

I work primarily with Adults, Couples, and Youth aged 13 and older, and I am honoured to walk alongside you on your path toward healing and wellbeing.
