Meet the Team

Nabeel Rahman, M.A., R.S.W.

I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers  with a Master's in Immigration and Settlement focusing on development of  counselling and community resources for undeserved and racialized communities. 

 

My career as a Counsellor, Anger Management Facilitator, Youth Worker, and Community Development Specialist equips me with a combination of non-judgmental and empathy driven focus to develop effective counselling goals. Throughout the course of my experience, I have facilitated thousands of therapy sessions and workshops in mental health, community engagement, intercultural understanding and leadership. Working with equity deserving communities for over 15 years in Toronto, Mississauga, Scarborough, and Oakville endows me with a unique skill set to design culturally sensitive counselling sessions for clients.


I offer counselling services in English, Hindi, Urdu and Bengali. 


My lived experience as a racialized person with modest means for most of my life has made me understand the systemic marginalization of people of colour and its impact on our day to day lives. Factors well beyond our control often impact our ability to find material success. Such experiences create challenges that make life overwhelming and situations where we experience more barriers than opportunities.


If anything, what I have learned is not to shy away from the realities of life and recognize that material success does not always bring about happiness. Contentment can come about through focusing on our thoughts, feelings and behaviours and advocating for change through collective effort. 


To get a better idea of my personal  journey, check out my Tedx Talk on a sense of belonging for people of colour.
