Alina Naim

Registered Social Worker in Barrie, Ontario • Children, Teens, Adults & Families • Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions

Life has a way of changing us. Sometimes it's through parenthood, caring for others, unexpected health challenges, or simply trying to hold everything together while supporting everyone else. Those experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward.

I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

As a mother of three and a breast cancer survivor, I understand firsthand how deeply life's challenges can impact every part of our wellbeing. Those experiences, alongside nearly two decades working in mental health and education, have shaped the therapist I am today. They remind me that healing isn't about having all the answers—it's about having someone beside you who listens without judgment, helps you make sense of what you're experiencing, and supports you as you move forward.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, parenting, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. My background in education also gives me a unique understanding of the school system, allowing me to support children, adolescents, and families through academic, emotional, and social challenges.

At Evergreen, I value taking a collaborative approach to care, recognizing the connection between mental and physical wellbeing. My hope is that every person who walks into my office feels safe, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change in their life.
