Your Questions, Answered

The first session is a 15 minute free consultation call. It’s a welcoming, no-pressure conversation where you can share why you’re here. While our practice has a special focus on supporting Black, Muslim, and racialized women, we welcome anyone who feels that our approach is a good fit for them. What matters most is that you feel safe and supported here.

Yes. All sessions are available virtually via secure video call, phone, or a hybrid format. We serve clients across Ontario, including Toronto, Ajax, Brampton, Mississauga, Scarborough, and the Greater Toronto Area.

Culturally responsive therapy means your therapist understands that your mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum; it's shaped by your culture, your community, your faith, and your lived experience. At Ebla, you won't have to spend your session explaining your background or defending your values. That context is already built into how we work.

Absolutely. Faith and spirituality are welcome in every session. For many of our clients, their relationship with God or their spiritual practice is a central part of who they are and that belongs in the therapy room too. We work in a way that integrates rather than compartmentalizes.

Sessions are $160. A sliding scale is available starting at $100, and $125 for students. We believe cost shouldn't be the reason someone can't access care; reach out before booking if you'd like to discuss options.

Yes. Everything you share in therapy is private and confidential, with the exception of rare situations required by law to protect your safety or the safety of others. I’ll review this with you in your first session so you feel comfortable and informed.

Yes. If you’d like, I can integrate faith and spirituality into our sessions. If that’s not something you want, we’ll focus on a more secular approach. The direction is always guided by your preferences.

Your first session is simply a chance to connect. You'll share a little about what's brought you to therapy and what you're hoping for. There's no pressure to have it figured out. We go at your pace. Before your session, you'll receive a short intake form to help us make the most of our time together.

Hodan draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. These evidence-based approaches are always adapted to your cultural context, your goals, and what actually resonates for you.

Services are offered in English, with Somali available for additional support as needed.
