Roots To Bloom Counselling

I design each therapeutic session with a deep focus on the individual, their family, and their unique needs.

about the Therapist

Tara YazdanI

(SHe/Her)
Tara has long been captivated by the power and magic of childhood relationships and their vital role in nurturing growth and development across the lifespan. This enduring curiosity continues to shape the foundation of her work with children and their families. Whether exploring one’s relationship with the self or with loved ones, Tara believes that everyone has the capacity to find a path forward—and she is honoured to walk alongside clients on that journey.
With over 12 years of experience in community mental health, Tara has consistently witnessed the positive impact of her therapeutic approaches. She has supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences, including abuse, as well as those facing relationship-based and interpersonal challenges.
Grounded in a feminist, anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and intersectional lens, Tara welcomes clients of all gender identities and sexual orientations. Having immigrated to Canada with her family as a child, she brings a deep commitment to honoring each person’s unique cultural and religious background. No matter where someone begins, Tara is dedicated to ensuring that their therapeutic experience is personalized and responsive to their individual needs.

Outside of Work

When I'm not working, you can often find me with my community, friends, and family. I love to experience new places, foods and cultures. I always look for opportunities to expand my knowledge and learning of this world we live in. My most treasured activity is being outdoors in nature with my family; I find this to be my happy place.
