Trauma lives in our bodies whether we recognize it or not. Although we might not know exactly what or how we are feeling, our bodies keep track. We’ve witnessed and experienced many things that have shaped us and how we perceive the world around us. As your therapist, I will hold a safe and confidential space for you to open up and unpack the trauma that is stored in your mind, body, and soul. As a first-generation Tamil Canadian, I recognize the impacts of intergenerational and racial trauma and how it affects the way we navigate different spaces and various relationships.
I have seen folks silencing their voices and stories because they fear being unheard or misunderstood. I will provide an empathetic, client centred, and confidential space where you will not feel judged. At vel psychotherapy we want to emulate your experience of talking to a close friend over a cup of tea while bringing in expert knowledge and interventions.
While it can be overwhelming to speak to someone and share your narrative, it is important not to bottle up how you feel. As your therapist, I will hold a nonjudgmental, safe space for you to feel comfortable while exploring yourself.
