Who we are
Collaboration · Dialogue · Journey
We chose the name Canoa because of the special meaning it holds for us. The word has Indigenous origins and refers to a small boat used to cross a river. In a canoe, it is the collective effort that carries people from one place to another. A shared journey.
Canoa was founded on a guiding belief: psychotherapy can be a powerful path to transformation. Along the way, no one makes the journey alone. Through dialogue and collaboration, people can reach new places.
At Canoa, we believe:
01
Therapy is built in partnership
You know your own story. Our role as therapists is to listen carefully and draw on our knowledge of psychotherapy to help you understand what you are facing and find new ways forward.
02
Your story does not unfold in isolation
In each session, we seek to understand what you are going through in the context of your relationships, your culture, and the circumstances of your life. These dimensions help us reflect with you on what may make sense at this moment.
03
Dialogue is at the heart of our work
Therapy happens through conversation. We believe that questions and reflections informed by psychology can open up new understandings, which can in turn support practical changes toward a life that feels more meaningful and livable.
“Through others, we become ourselves” — Lev S. Vygotsky
01
You are navigating a major life transition
Immigration, motherhood, separation, loss, and other life transitions can change how you see yourself and where you feel you belong in the world.
"I finally achieved my dream of immigrating, but I feel empty and lost"
"I recently became a mother, and I feel like this experience is too much to handle"
"The life I knew has changed, and I'm still trying to figure out who I am now"
02
You have been feeling overwhelmed
Worries, responsibilities, and pressures can build up and make everyday life feel overwhelming.
"I've been holding everything together, but inside I feel like I'm at my limit."
"My mind never stops, even when I finally get to rest."
"I feel like I'm living on autopilot and have become disconnected from the person I want to be."
03
You are seeking new ways to connect in your relationships
Recurring conflicts, emotional distance, and difficulty expressing one's feelings can make important relationships more painful.
"We keep talking about the same things, but we never seem to get anywhere."
"I'm afraid to say how I feel and make things even worse."
"I want to stay in this relationship, but without loosing myself or pulling away."
04
You want to better understand your child
Intense emotions, changes in behavior, and disruptions to daily routines may indicate that the family needs support to understand one another and reconnect.
"I don't know how to help my child when their emotions run high."
"I've tried everything, but it seems like we're running out of ideas and patience."
"I want to set boundaries without losing the connection with my child."

Meet Canoa's founder
My name is Fabiana Nasciutti. I am a licensed psychotherapist in Canada, with a master’s degree in psychology and a Ph.D. in education. I have been working in the field of psychology for over 10 years, driven by a genuine passion for helping people navigate various challenges and life transitions.
My clinical practice is grounded in a relational approach that views each person in the context of their history, relationships, and life circumstances. My practice is informed primarily by Historical-Cultural Theory and Social Constructionism.
For me, therapy is a space where we can develop new understandings of life, strengthen our sense of identity, and discover new possibilities.
As the founder of Canoa, I lead our team of therapists and also provide supervision and professional training.
