Meet Maor

Before private practice, I worked in crisis services, hospitals, and addiction treatment, supporting people through some of the most painful, misunderstood, and stigmatized experiences.

My connection to this work is both professional and personal. Some of the most painful human experiences are also among the most misunderstood and ignored. That’s the reason I became a therapist.

I know how important it is to be met by someone who listens to you. You should feel heard, have what you are going through taken seriously, and be seen beyond the visible symptoms.

Immigrating to Canada in my teens taught me what it can mean to adapt to a different life while trying to understand who you are and where you belong. My Jewish identity and my family’s history of the Holocaust have also given personal weight to questions of belonging, discrimination, survival, and generational trauma, and to the importance of seeing people within the full context of their lives.

I learn more from my clients, who have always been my most important teachers, than I do from any textbook or clinical research paper. I feel honoured by, and grateful to, every person who trusts me enough to sit across from me and share their most intensely painful and difficult feelings and experiences.
