Fatima Fatima, MSW Student
Student Therapist
I am a Master of Social Work (MSW) student with a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Youth Care. As a student therapist with Francis Psychotherapy, I work under the direct supervision of Roxanne Francis, Social Worker & Psychotherapist. My academic journey and field experience have equipped me with a strong foundation in trauma-informed and anti-oppressive practice. I have worked closely with newcomers and refugees, providing psychosocial support, resources, and guidance to help individuals and families adapt and thrive in new environments.
My placements in healthcare settings, schools, newcomer programs, and community organizations have deepened my commitment to equity, inclusion, and culturally responsive practice. I am passionate about supporting clients in ways that honour their lived experiences, strengths, and cultural identities.
Outside of work: I enjoy traveling to new places, reading a wide range of books, and experimenting with new recipes. I also deeply value spending time with family and friends, which helps me stay grounded and balanced in both my personal and professional life.

Areas of Speciality
Therapeutic Approach
It is okay to be where you are and feel what you are feeling. In these times, you may find comfort in having someone who will work with you to shift these perspectives. Using a practical and compassionate approach, I help you deal with the complexities of life.
I approach my work from a trauma-informed, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive lens, grounded in understanding and compassion to help you live your best life.
As a trained psychotherapist with more than 12 years of experience in the mental health field, I support individuals, couples, and families, including children, teens, and adults. My journey began as a social worker and social justice advocate, and over the years I have worked with people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and other life stressors.
