I’m Shaista Ahmaddi, a Registered Social Worker and the founder of Lumina Therapy, providing compassionate, judgment-free support for adults in Ontario.
I started Lumina with the belief that therapy should feel human, real, and supportive — not distant or theoretical. With all of life’s pressures and transitions, it’s easy to feel like you have to carry it all on your own. Therapy offers a space to set the weight down, reflect on your story, and discover ways forward that feel right.
My style is warm, honest, and collaborative. I show up as myself, and I invite you to do the same. Together, we explore the patterns holding you back and work toward clarity, resilience, and self-trust.
I support people through challenges like anxiety, self-esteem struggles, relationship dynamics, parenting, and major life changes. What I have learned is that you don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. You just need a space where your story is heard and growth feels possible.
If you’re ready to reflect, reconnect, and build a more aligned life, support is available. I would be honored to walk alongside you.
