Hello
Hello, and welcome! I'm Yeukai Tsikira and this space is rooted in healing, growth, and meaningful change. It’s an honour to walk alongside you as you navigate your journey toward clarity, connection, and personal strength.
My Story
Growing up in a family of eight, Yeukai witnessed firsthand how trauma doesn’t just impact one person. It affects entire families. Watching her mother navigate emotional pain from a young age sparked something deep within her. It gave her a profound understanding of how trauma can shape connection, safety, and identity. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in Canada, Yeukai immigrated with her family at just 10 months old. After living in Ontario, they settled in Montreal where she attended both French primary and high school. Navigating multiple cultures helped her develop a strong sense of empathy and adaptability.
She is trilingual, fluent in English, French, and Shona, which allows her to connect deeply with a diverse range of people. Yeukai has seen what it means to carry inherited pain and what it takes to begin breaking generational cycles. Through regular community volunteering and a strong commitment to healing work, she brings both lived experience and deep compassion to everything she does. She holds a special place in her heart for BIPOC communities and believes she has a calling to walk alongside others in their healing journeys, helping them feel seen, safe, and supported.
Therapy Philosophy:
Care is rooted in trauma-informed, culturally responsive practice. Support is collaborative and tailored to the needs of each client, integrating the emotional, relational, and systemic factors that shape mental health.
While Yeukai specializes in trauma recovery, her work also supports individuals facing anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and the impacts of systemic and generational harm.
Credentials and Experience:
Yeukai Tsikira is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO #18718) and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
Her clinical experience spans private practice, crisis response, shelters, and youth services. She is trained in EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Internal Family Systems, ACT, somatic trauma therapy, and more.
Her work is informed by values of restorative justice, decolonizing therapy, and advocacy for victims of violence and systemic oppression.
Mission:
To provide safe, inclusive, and transformative care for individuals and families navigating trauma and emotional pain. The mission is to support healing that empowers people to reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and strength.
