Built From
lived experience,
Grounded in care.
Rubiks Counselling Services was born out of a shared mission: to provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy for individuals and families who deserve to be understood without explanation.
Born From lived experience.
Rubiks was founded by Wala'a Farahat and Samiyah Zawawi after years of working in traditional mental health settings where cultural background, migration history, and systemic barriers were often overlooked or misunderstood.
As Registered Psychotherapists who navigate bicultural identities themselves, they recognized the urgent need for a space where clients don't have to translate their cultural values or minimize their lived realities to receive quality care.
"You're not standard — so why should your care be?"
Every individual comes with a unique tapestry of culture, heritage, and lived experience that shapes their path to healing.
