About Me
Hi, I'm Sifate Zaman, a Registered Psychotherapist providing virtual therapy across Ontario virtually and in-person in the West End of Ottawa
My path to becoming a psychotherapist wasn’t a straight line—but it’s one that ultimately led me to work I deeply value.
I began my career in medicine, completing my medical training and working as a physician before moving to Canada. While I initially pursued a family medicine residency here, I eventually discovered psychotherapy and realized it was where my strengths and interests truly aligned.
Today, I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, with a background that bridges both medical and psychological care. Resume My experience includes working with individuals facing anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, post-concussion symptoms, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Resume
I believe therapy should feel collaborative, compassionate, and practical. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood and supported while we work together toward meaningful change.
What I find most rewarding about this work is seeing clients reconnect with themselves—whether that means finding relief from long-standing symptoms or experiencing the confidence that comes from achieving something that once felt impossible.
It’s truly an honour to be part of that process.
My work is trauma-informed, relational, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based approaches including psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, EMDR, and cognitive processing therapy to tailor treatment to each individual
