Hi, I’m Muna Haji Egeh. I was born and raised in Abu Dhabi, immigrated to Ottawa at 12 years old, and carry with me my East African heritage, an Arabic-speaking childhood of the 80s and 90s before I ever spoke English, and the experience of moving between cultures. These different worlds shaped my love for people, stories, and the freedom to explore life in authentic ways. My curiosity led me to a university semester abroad, where travel became a lasting passion.
Before becoming a psychotherapist and a coach, I spent over a decade working in the federal government. While the work was steady, over time I felt mismatched, drained by burnout and the lack of freedom to live in a way that felt aligned. After years of listening to that quiet inner pull, I finally took the plunge into work that speaks to my heart: becoming a psychotherapist. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and am licensed with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and as a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) in Colorado.
In my practice, I use the Deep Care Therapy Model, a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and spiritually grounded approach to healing. I work with individuals who feel exhausted from surviving on the outside while carrying overwhelm or disconnection on the inside. Through nervous system regulation and emotional integration, I help you understand how protective patterns formed and how they can gently shift. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes. It is about creating enough safety for emotions to be processed without shame so you can reconnect with steadiness, clarity, and a way of living that feels aligned and whole.
Outside of work, I find joy in being an amateur chef and in early morning wakeups, when the world is at its quietest. Those quiet hours give me space to reflect, to wonder about the beauty and complexity of life, and to feel grounded before the day begins. In recent years, I’ve fallen in love with Korean dramas. One of my favourites, My Liberation Notes, beautifully explores the themes of longing, healing, and rediscovering freedom in the everyday lives of office workers. These interests keep me connected to creativity and remind me that healing often comes through simple, meaningful moments.
