Hello, my name is Anada Treleven. I am a Black female therapist serving children, youth, young adults, and families across Ontario including Ottawa, Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), with in-person sessions available in North York.
I have over 20 years of experience in the social work and mental health field supporting individuals and families. My work focuses on working with clients to discover practical ways to care for their mental and emotional well-being so they can feel more like themselves even during the most challenging times.
My goal is to create a safe, empowering, and encouraging space where you can feel supported and understood to handle life with confidence and strength.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in group homes, schools, child welfare, and foster care, serving in roles including foster home assessor, supervisor, and child protection worker. These experiences have allowed me to support children, youth, adults, and families through times of crisis, helping them build resilience, strengthen relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence, compassion, and hope.
I have worked widely within the BIPOC community, helping to address systemic barriers across child welfare, education, and the criminal justice system. By organizing workshops and community initiatives, I have cultivated connection, resilience, and a stronger sense of community. Through my work with Agape Lens, I have supported children, youth, adults, and families experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, attachment challenges, and behavioural concerns, while also providing parent coaching to strengthen family relationships and promote healthy development.
I am especially passionate about supporting single parents as they navigate the challenges of raising children. My goal is to empower parents with practical tools and confidence while fostering positive parent-child relationships and healthy co-parenting dynamics that prioritize the child's well-being and emotional needs.
For me, this work has always been more than a profession, it is a calling. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals and families through life’s challenges, helping them recognize their strengths, and supporting them on their journey towards healing, resilience, and lasting growth.
