WHO WE HELP

Psychotherapy in Toronto & Thornhill

Nova Therapy offers compassionate, trauma-informed psychotherapy in Toronto and Thornhill, with virtual therapy available across Ontario. I work with individuals, youth, and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other experiences that may be affecting daily life.

Couples Therapy

A place to talk through what has been feeling difficult, understand patterns, and work toward changes that feel meaningful to you.

Support for communication, conflict, trust, connection, and recurring patterns that can be hard to work through together.

Sarah Yosra Azzam

Registered Psychotherapist & Founder of Nova Therapy

Hi, I’m Sarah. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, respected, and able to be yourself.

My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma informed, and culturally sensitive. I work with you at a pace that feels manageable, creating space to understand what you’re carrying, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and move toward meaningful change.

You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what to say or where to begin. Therapy can start with simply having a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe enough to explore what matters to you.
