About Dua Therapy
Welcome—Dua Therapy was created from the spaces in between - between cultures, identities, and moments of becoming.
At Dua Therapy, we believe that meaningful change happens when care is both evidence-based and deeply human.
Whether you’re looking to untangle long-standing patterns or seeking relief from immediate stress, we offer care that meets you where you are.
We draw on trauma-informed, strength-based approaches to foster resilience with a holistic understanding of the mind, body, and emotions.
Rooted in cultural humility, we offer care that is respectful, affirming, and responsive to your cultural background.

About the Founder,
I am Maheema Dua, a Registered Psychotherapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from McGill University.
I support individuals in navigating heartbreak, attachment, and relationship patterns, including the inner conflicts of feeling “too much” or “not enough.”
I also work with ADHD, anxiety, complex trauma, chronic illness, and acculturative stress.
I use a person-centred, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach, grounded in compassionate relational work.
My goal is to offer you support that empowers you in creating a life that feels healthy, purposeful, and joyful.
