More Than Just My Work

Outside of work, I love aerial hoop as both a creative and grounding outlet. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, skiing, doing puzzles, listening to true-crime podcasts, watching horror movies, and spending time with my two dogs.

Saba Sedighi, MA, RCC

Registered Clinical Counsellor

You may feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, or disconnected from yourself while trying to navigate trauma, burnout, chronic stress, or relationships that have left you doubting yourself. You may have spent years masking your struggles, feeling emotionally drained, misunderstood, or constantly trying to keep up with expectations that never felt sustainable. In our work together, we can focus on better understanding your nervous system, emotional experiences, and patterns with greater compassion and less shame.

As someone within the neurodivergent community, I understand how exhausting it can feel to navigate a world that was not designed with your nervous system in mind. My approach focuses on helping clients better understand themselves with greater compassion rather than feeling as though they are broken or need to be “fixed.” Together, we can work toward understanding patterns that may be keeping you stuck, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and creating a life that feels more manageable, grounded, and authentic to who you are.

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology. I provide trauma-informed and neurodiversity affirming therapy for youth and adults navigating ADHD, autism, trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and recovery from emotionally abusive or narcissistic relationships. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, accepted, and safe to show up fully as themselves without pressure to mask, minimize, or explain away their experiences.

“The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet.”

Drawing from somatic therapy, DBT, IFS, and polyvagal-informed work, I offer compassionate, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity affirming therapy. In our work together, we may focus on processing trauma, building self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and developing tools that feel supportive and sustainable in everyday life.
