Hello lovely people! Welcome!

My name is Nasim Mahin (She/Her). I am a Registered Psychotherapist working with children, youth, and adults. I identify as a POC immigrant settler who tries to practice therapy from a trauma-informed, feminist, intersectional, and anti-oppressive lens.

I’ve been in the therapeutic space, as a psychotherapist, since 2013, and have worked in other supportive capacities with children, youth and adults since 2009. I’m also currently a 2nd year medical student (outside Canada). I’m particularly interested in acknowledging and seeing people as whole and layered beings, and I want to unpack how this holistic lens plays out in the intersection between medicine and psychotherapy.

This podcast will contain a wide range of topics about therapy, medicine, life, and connection. Offering care to people is a multifaceted and often complex space to navigate; my hope is that this podcast will shed light on some of the intricacies of how to offer care in loving and compassionate ways.

From time to time, we will also be connecting with folks who work in a variety of different therapeutic spaces. Different perspectives can offer us the opportunity to learn and grow, and my hope for this little space is to create an inviting atmosphere that will allow us to challenge our biases, and support us in expanding our hearts and minds.

My desire is to create a community of gentleness and kindness where we can all find a soft place to land. Welcome to Garden of Compassion. Thank you for tuning in!
