Welcome to Calm Mind Therapy

Some days look “fine” on the outside—yet inside, everything feels loud. Your thoughts won’t slow down. Your chest stays tight. You keep functioning… but you don’t feel like you’re living.

Calm Mind Therapy is a space to exhale.
Not a space where you’re judged, fixed, or pushed to “be positive.”
A space where we make sense of what you’ve been carrying, gently and honestly—so life can start to feel lighter, clearer, and more yours again.

And here’s something I hold onto deeply in my work: even when things feel tangled, there is still a way through. There is a path back to inner peace—sometimes it’s not obvious at first, but it exists. We’ll find that path together, step by step, at a pace that feels safe for you.

Whether you’re facing anxiety, grief, burnout, relationship pain, or a major life transition, we’ll work together to move you from survival mode to steadiness—with practical tools, compassionate support, and real change you can feel.

Meet Maryam Rouzbahani

Maryam Rouzbahani, Registered Psychotherapist — Founder of Calm Mind Therapy in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Hi—I’m Maryam. If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’ve been strong for a long time. The kind of strong that looks impressive… and feels exhausting.

My style is warm, present, and grounded. I bring both clinical skill and real human care into the room. Therapy with me is not just talking in circles. It’s a thoughtful mix of:

• Deep emotional understanding (so you feel truly seen)

• Evidence-based tools (so you feel real change)

• A pace that respects you (so you don’t feel overwhelmed)

I’m also someone who genuinely believes this: when you feel stuck, it doesn’t mean you’re broken—it usually means you’ve been carrying too much alone, for too long. And almost always, there is a way forward. We work together to find the clearest path—back to calm, clarity, and the parts of you that feel like “you” again.

My Journey

Calm Mind Therapy didn’t start as a business idea—it started as a belief:

When people feel truly safe, they start telling the truth.
And when the truth has space to breathe, healing stops being a concept—and becomes something you can actually feel.

Over time, I noticed something in many clients: they weren’t lacking willpower or insight. They were carrying too much alone—too quietly, for too long. The anxious overthinking. The grief that never fully had a place to land. The pressure to perform. The emotional labour. The “I should be over this by now.”

I created Calm Mind Therapy for people who want more than surface-level coping. People who want to understand themselves—without being pathologized—and learn how to move through life with more steadiness and self-trust.

Because I’ve seen it again and again: even in the hardest seasons, there is still a way to build peace from the inside out. Not by forcing happiness—by gently clearing what blocks it. And when you can’t see the path alone, that’s where therapy becomes powerful: we find it together.

What It Feels Like to Work Together

Therapy here is a mix of softness and direction.

You can expect:

• A space that feels calm, confidential, and non-judgmental

• Questions that help you go deeper—without pushing you too fast

• Practical strategies you can use between sessions

• A therapist who is warm, but also honest and clear when it matters

Sometimes we’ll work on symptoms (anxiety, panic, overwhelm).
Sometimes we’ll work on patterns (people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional shutdown).
And often, we’ll work on something quieter and more powerful:

the part of you that has been trying to carry everything alone.

And through all of it, the goal isn’t to become a “perfect” version of yourself.
It’s to find your way back to inner calm, meaningful joy, and a life that feels steady and true.
That path looks different for everyone—but it exists, and we’ll find yours together.

A Note to You, Before We Begin

If you’ve been telling yourself:

• “I shouldn’t feel this way.”

• “Others have it worse.”

• “I’m too sensitive.”

• “I just need to try harder.”

…you’re not the only one.

But you also don’t have to keep living in that pressure.

If you’re here, something in you is already reaching for change—even quietly.
And I want you to know: there is hope that’s real—not generic. There is a way through what you’re facing. Let’s find the path that brings you back to peace—together.
