Therapeutic Approach & Areas of Practice
Insiya is a Neurofeedback Technician at NuVista Mental Health, where she delivers the neurofeedback protocols developed by our clinicians for clients across the lifespan. With a background in neuroscience and mental health, Insiya is fascinated by the relationship between the brain and behaviour, and by how neurofeedback makes that relationship something clients can see and work with.
Insiya brings consistency and care to every session, tracking each client’s response over time and making sure they feel informed and supported at every stage of their protocol.
Professional & Academic Background
Insiya completed her Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Mental Health Studies at the University of Toronto. She will continue her training in the MA/PhD Clinical Developmental program at York University, with a focus in neuropsychology. This path reflects a long-standing interest in how brain function shapes development, behaviour, and mental health across the lifespan.
Why They Chose This Work
I’ve always been drawn to the relationship between the brain and behaviour, and how something measurable can explain so much about how a person feels, thinks, and moves through the world. Neurofeedback is what made that connection tangible for me. Watching someone see their own brain activity, understand what it means, and start to shift it is a genuinely powerful thing to be part of. Getting to do that with clients at every stage of life, from kids to older adults, keeps pulling me deeper into this field, and it’s what I’ll carry with me into my graduate training in neuropsychology.
Outside the Office
Outside of the clinic, I play soccer, and I’m almost always in the middle of a book. I love trying out new recipes on the people around me, and I cat-sit whenever I can. Most of all, I value the time I spend making meaningful memories with my family and friends!
