Psychotherapy and Counselling Services
Zarin Hakim-Griffith MA, RP, CCC
Therapy that feels real, safe, and like you can finally exhale.
Hello there!
Zarin Hakim-Griffith (she/her), MA, RP, CCC – psychotherapist, cat person, and new mom figuring it all out one day at a time.
If you've ever felt like you’re carrying too much—or like you don’t quite fit the mold—you’re not alone. I offer culturally affirming therapy for BIPOC and neurodivergent adults seeking safe, trauma-focused care. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported as your full self.
A little about me... and what I can do for you
I support adults (18+) seeking virtual psychotherapy across Ontario for trauma, ADHD, cultural identity, and self-worth. As a neurodivergent-friendly and BIPOC-affirming therapist, I offer a space for those often left out of traditional therapy models.
My practice is grounded in lived experience, and I provide therapy for those navigating masking, identity shifts, and inner child work—especially in racialized or neurodivergent bodies.
I blend psychodynamic, relational, somatic, ACT, DBT, and parts work in a collaborative, human-centered space. We might unpack boundaries, nervous system regulation, or inner child work—and sometimes, we’ll pull in metaphors from Marvel, anime, or whatever fandom makes your story click.
I know how complex identity and healing can be—especially as a racialized woman, cat lover, and new mom myself. I’m here to offer a space where you don’t have to mask, code-switch, or explain your basics. Just bring your whole self. We’ll start there.
