inner oasis
Welcome to your
Nisrine Maktabi, M.S.
Registered Psychotherapist
Welcome to my site! My name is Nisrine and I am a Registered Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in the field of trauma therapy.
After graduating with a Masters of Science from Bristol University, London, I worked in Montreal, Canada in women and youth shelters, and an ex-psychiatric facility. After that, I worked at a trailblazer community and multicultural health center focused on helping newcomers to Toronto, including refugees and LGBTQs.
I was a supervisor at two major universities — York University and the Toronto Metropolitan University.

“I was born to do this work.”
My practice is focused on helping my clients find joy through reconnecting with their authentic self. They come from all cultures and backgrounds. I have over 15 years of experience in trauma and addiction healing, helping my clients understand and transcend challenges connected to their multicultural heritage, sexual identity, & relationships. While my work is universal and extends beyond labels & cultural differences, I offer special support to those who identify as war refugees, LGBTQ+, Middle-Eastern, Arab, and Muslim. I offer my services in English, Arabic, and French.
What is your inner oasis?
An oasis is a small, fertile, green area with water, plants, and fruitful trees in the midst of a dry, barren landscape such as a desert.
Your inner oasis is a place of safety and sanctuary within yourself. It is a place inside that refreshes both physically and spiritually. It provides privacy and protection.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it, and embrace them. ”
— Rumi
How I can help you
I offer virtual and in person sessions that help you develop the following:
Joy in your relationships
I help my clients understand their attachment style, how it was forged, and how it may still be influencing their lives. They gain understanding, clarity, and feel empowered to transform the relationships in your life.
Peace in your body
Many of our mental health conditions stem from traumatic events in our past that can get trapped in the physical body. I teach my clients how to safely process and release these memories to regain peace and freedom.
Harmony in your being
At the core of our being, the root cause of all discord is our wounded inner child. As we hold and heal them, we restore balance and harmony within the self.
“What you seek is seeking you.”
Rumi
Remember who you are and how you were always meant to feel — compassionate, loving, confident.
