Mindset Toronto - Yasmeen Farrage, MA, RP

Description

Life's too short to spend another day at war with yourself! Life isn't always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life's more challenging problems. There are times when our path leads us off the course of happiness and fulfillment, and into some dark corners. "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading." - Lao Tzu. It is possible to get out of the dark places and direct your path back toward the sun. It is possible to be happy, to develop centeredness, calmness, self-love and openness, a positive outlook, to enhance your inner vision, to redefine your self-concept and cultivate mindfulness in your mind, body and soul. You can find happiness and allow it radiate in you and through you. You can build on your inherent strengths to overcome difficulties. You can develop a better mindset and become a better version of you! I seek to provide a safe atmosphere to deeply connect and collaboratively work with clients to evoke positive changes in their lives. At Mindset Toronto, I realize that no two people are the same and as such my therapeutic approach is personalized to the client, often utilizing combined modalities including empirically-supported techniques inherent in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic approaches.
