Get to know Mariam (She/ Her)
​Mariam was born in Alexandria, Egypt before moving to Montreal, Quebec, where she was raised from an early age. Her culture was an integral part of her upbringing, leading her to experience and understand the challenges attached to balancing multiple languages, traditions, and beliefs. To this day, preserving her language and culture continues to be defining in her life.
The more she advanced in the field of psychology, the more she noticed the lack of representation for those from similar backgrounds as hers. She wishes to understand others through the commonalities of human experience and will do everything she can to help those invested in their well-being and betterment.
Mariam completed her Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Montreal in 2018. She is currently enrolled in the Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and will be completing her practicum placement from May- December 2024 at the Journey!
Mariam will offer sessions in English, French, and Egyptian Arabic.
In her free time, Mariam enjoys discovering the beautiful nature around her, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and rewatching her comfort shows on repeat.
