Rida Riaz, MSW, RSW

Provider information

Description

My approach centers on a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported, with humor when it helps. You may appear high-functioning but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or emotionally drained inside. I work with adults navigating perfectionism, neurodivergence, attachment wounds, and trauma rooted in early experiences. My style is trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming, and culturally inclusive, supporting self-compassion, regulation, and connection at your pace.

Summary

At LifeCycle Counselling we recognize how difficult it is to take the first step towards therapy, speak about your difficulties and explore uncomfortable emotions. We are a diverse group of therapists, many of whom have had our own mental health challenges and obstacles. We use client-centered approaches because we understand how important it is to meet you where you are. We respect differences, opinions, values, and attitudes. Many of our team members have extensive experience in dealing with a wide variety of issues and are familiar with various therapeutic modalities.
