Who This Work Is For
This site brings together the different branches of my work. Some visitors are looking for a speaker, consultant, or collaborator. Others are looking for tools they can use in practice, books they can teach from, or resources they can return to over time. Others are simply trying to find the right therapist or a more affirming place to begin. The through line is the same: mental health work does not happen outside power, culture, institutions, or lived experience. I’m interested in work that is more rigorous, more politically honest, and more useful to the people it is meant to serve.
I’m Rahim Thawer.
I’m Rahim Thawer, 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. This site is where those strands come together.

Looking for Therapy?
I’m not seeing psychotherapy clients at this time. If you need a therapist, please consult the CQTT directory for queer- and trans-affirming clinicians or check the community resources listed elsewhere on this site.
If you’d like me to join as a speaker, consultant, or collaborator, please schedule a collaboration meeting as the next step.
