Salima Shariff M.Sc, RSW, R.Psych

“As a psychiatrist I have known Ms. Shariff professionally for several years, including work in the most challenging mental health settings. Salima is one of the best counselors that i have worked with: Caring without being infantilizing: Firm without being detached; Smart without being arrogant; Confident enough not to take ownership of the client’s issues, thus avoiding dependency. This approach can be challenging for those not ready to take ownership; however it is very effective for the patient who is willing to look honestly at her or himself. She also has an excellent sense of humor. I feel fortunate to work with Salima, and I would sincerely recommend Salima to my patients.”
