“It was my first time having a therapy session and she made me feel very comfortable to open up on what I was dealing with, and setting goals for our next session”

“I’ve never had therapy so I have nothing to compare it to. However she seems very empathetic, I appreciate the disclosure in the beginning about confidentiality and how it works. I appreciated the opening get to know you type questions and what would I like to focus on and if I’m open to different therapy forms. So far so good, I’m looking forward to my next session.”

Getting to know Mahawa Touray
Disclaimer: Providers at Canino Psychotherapy focus on therapy services and do not prescribe medication, as they are not psychiatrists.
You don't have to carry everything alone. I'm a trauma-informed therapist passionate about creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where children, teens, and adults can heal and grow. Blending talk therapy, mindfulness, and creative expression, I meet you where you are-helping you explore emotions, build understanding, and reconnect with your strengths at your own pace.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In therapy with me, you can expect warmth, honesty, and a bit of humor along the way. I believe healing happens in spaces where you feel safe to be yourself—messy moments and all. My approach blends trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and creative expression to help you reflect, process, and grow at your own pace. I’ll meet you where you are, gently challenge what’s keeping you stuck, and remind you to give yourself grace.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Because healing is ongoing, sessions flow with what you bring in. We’ll begin by checking in and naming what’s been on your mind, then use conversation, mindfulness, or creative tools to make sense of it together. Some days we might dig deeper; other days, we focus on small steps forward. My goal is to keep things flexible, realistic, and supportive of where you are right now
