About Me
Meet Faizah Latif, MSW, RSW
I’m a Registered Social Worker licensed in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Alberta. I work with individuals and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, self-esteem, identity, and family dynamics. My approach blends clinical training with cultural and faith-based insight- so that you feel truly recognized and supported every step of the way.
My path to this work is personal. As a Muslim woman growing up in the West, I wrestled with questions of identity, belonging, and cultural expectations. Later, I faced difficult relationships that tested my sense of self. Through those experiences, I discovered resilience, the importance of boundaries, and the strength that comes from faith. These lessons now guide my practice; I know what it means to rebuild, and I walk alongside my clients as they do the same.
Recognition: In 2025, I was shortlisted for a National Mental Health Advocacy Award in the Peer Support Excellence category.

More About Me
Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with friends & family, and with my one-year-old cat, Nemo. I try to travel as much as I can. My favourite colour is teal. I also enjoy engaging in activties such as swimming, bike riding, and reading.
On a personal and professional level, it makes me content to see others rising to their full potential. In this way, I am fully passionate about the work that I do.
You might also find me enjoying a cup of coffee while rewatching The Office or Grey's Anatomy. These parts of me keep me grounded and remind me of the joy in everyday life!
