Hello and welcome! I am currently accepting new clients in-person in Dartmouth/Halifax, NS or online via secure video call anywhere in Canada. I help adult clients navigate issues including anxiety, stress, burnout, men’s issues, identity, purpose, relationships, processing a new diagnosis or new recognition of your neurodivergence, parenting (especially parenting as a neurodivergent person), social connections, or generally struggling to cope with a life that is asking too much of you. You do not need a diagnosis to access therapy with me and I will believe you as the expert in your own lived experiences.

I am a registered social worker (MSW) with an eclectic skill set who practices from an anti-oppressive perspective. I’ve completed training in Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Therapy, Expressive Arts Practice, Non-Violent-Compassionate Communication, mindfulness-based practices and use the primary masculine archetypes to support transformation in the lives of men of all sexual orientations. I provide therapy for individuals of all genders who are seeking greater vitality. I have experience supporting individuals recovering from trauma, problematic substance use, mental health issues and relationship or workplace issues. My skills provide an eclectic palate through which to engage the individual in creative processes of transformation.

Rim Yassine

I work with adults—particularly men and queer/trans clients—who feel exhausted by coping alone, disconnected from themselves or others, or under pressure to “hold it together.”
My therapeutic approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from somatic therapy, attachment‑based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches.
Sessions are paced collaboratively, with close attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and consent. Rather than pushing for insight or change before readiness, the work unfolds in a grounded and steady way that supports lasting integration and deeper self‑trust.
I offer remote therapy across British Columbia and Ontario.
