Psychotherapy: A Path to Self-Discovery

Psychotherapy, also known as therapy, can help you manage a variety of mental health concerns using evidence-based approaches. Therapy is not focused on fixing you or fixing a problem, but rather a process to help you uncover your strengths and live the life you want to live.

Through collaborative exploration with a trained professional, you can gain insights into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This journey of self-discovery enables you to develop coping strategies, enhance emotional regulation, and foster resilience.

Stigma around therapy exists everywhere but specifically in ethnic or South Asian communities. Recognizing that ignoring or pretending like mental health doesn’t exist only invalidates your experiences and your desire to pursue therapy is something you can control.

I draw from a variety of modalities in my work, there is no one approach fits all model. I tend to draw a variety from modalities, experiences and trainings that benefit my clients and their concerns.

Modalities are the techniques therapists use to help their clients. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment based therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused-Therapy, Narrative therapy and more. My work is more focused on creating a safe environment to help you see the change you are seeking.

I work with with Individuals aged 13+ so that includes, adults, adolescents, teenagers and youth.

My experience includes working with individuals, teens and young adults, with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, family conflict, relationship issues, self esteem, life transition and emotional regulation with added specializations in neurodivergence, learning disabilities and ADHD.

My services are covered under many benefit programs and extended health plans. Please verify with your insurance provider whether counselling or psychotherapy services offered by Registered Psychotherapists are covered

No, you do not need any kind of referral to be in therapy or access services here.
