About Surman

Pronouns: She / Her

Hello! I’m a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student currently completing my psychotherapy internship. I bring 7+ years of experience supporting children and youth in live-in and day treatment mental health settings, where I have worked closely with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self-harm.

My background as a frontline worker in community mental health has provided me with strong skills in crisis intervention, safety planning, and facilitating therapeutic skills groups, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I approach therapy with warmth, empathy, and a strong commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space. My work is grounded in building genuine, trusting relationships where clients feel safe to express themselves openly. As a child of immigrants, I bring a personal understanding of navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and systemic barriers, which further informs my commitment to culturally responsive and inclusive care.

As I continue to grow in my clinical practice, I am committed to learning alongside my clients and providing thoughtful, compassionate care that meets each person where they are.

Note: Surman is currently a student intern. Her work is supervised by Katherine Hall, MSW RSW.

Practicum Starts May 2026
