I'm Rahim Thawer.
I'm a registered social worker, psychotherapist, educator, and writer based in Toronto. My work spans clinical consultation, organizational consulting, teaching, public speaking, publishing, and resource development.
Across all of it, I'm interested in how people make sense of distress, how institutions shape care, and how practice can become more accountable to the realities people are living in.
