My Associates
Khoshrooz (Rooz) Kazemi, Master’s Counselling Psychology Student, Ph.D. (Civil Engineering).
I am currently a Registered Psychotherapist at the Qualifying level and in the final stages of completing my master’s degree in counselling and psychotherapy through Yorkville University. I am also a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Additionally, I hold a Ph.D. in civil engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Drawing on my extensive background as a researcher, engineer, and immigrant, I bring a unique perspective to my role as a counselor. My years of conducting research have honed my analytical skills, enabling me to navigate the complexities of individuals’ experiences with a keen eye for detail. As an engineer, I’ve cultivated a problem-solving mindset that complements my approach to helping clients unravel their own challenges. Additionally, my personal journey as an immigrant equips me with a profound understanding of cultural nuances, the complexities of adaptation, and the importance of fostering a sense of belonging. I leverage these diverse experiences to listen empathically, supportively, and without judgment, creating an atmosphere of comfort, warmth, togetherness, and trust. Beyond my counseling role, I have seamlessly integrated my experiences into my career, much like the threads of a tapestry, weaving together a rich and comprehensive approach to supporting those on their path to well-being.
Therapy Areas:
My primary area of interest lies in trauma and its potential sequelae, such as depression, anxiety, personality issues, self-esteem challenges, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, and parenting challenges. I approach therapy with a client-centered, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally sensitive lens. Drawing from therapeutic modalities such as CBT, ACT, and EFT, I tailor my approach to meet everyone's unique needs.
I am multilingual and can provide therapies to my clients in English, Persian (Farsi), Azeri and Turkish.
I look forward to meeting you and working together with you.
Thanks,
Rooz,
Khoshrooz
