Therapists in M1B

Welcome, I am so pleased you landed here. Maybe you're exploring your identity, feeling stuck in an unhelpful behaviour pattern, or feeling anxious or down; maybe you're experiencing unresolved memories or feelings coming up; or maybe you don't quite feel how you would like to feel about yourself at this point in your life. I can help you to make sense of these experiences and make the changes you want. While I work with clients on a range of concerns, I have extensive experience working with people who have endured abuse or neglect, as well as with people of transgender experience and LGB folks.

Difficult times are a part of everyone's life, and during such times, people may feel stuck, broken, or in need of someone to talk to. Therapy offers a secure environment where you can share your story, regain your confidence, and reconnect with your true self. By acknowledging your experiences, we can delve into your thoughts and emotions linked to current life challenges in a gentle manner, with the aim of discovering your inner strength and personalized path towards progress. My approach is collaborative, and I work with you at your pace to help you achieve your life objectives with positivity and support.

Growing up as a first-generation Canadian of South Asian descent and as a woman of color, she journeyed through the maze of identity, facing the challenges that come with navigating intersecting cultures.Through her own trials and triumphs, she's come to intimately understand the rollercoaster of emotions, the uncertainty, and the longing for someone who truly gets it. This journey has shaped not only who she is, but also how she approaches therapy. It's instilled in her a profound empathy and authenticity – a genuine understanding of the struggles you may be facing.

If you need help recovering from difficult childhood experiences, sexual abuse, or other forms of trauma, contact me to get the help that you or your child need. Together, we will work on building your strengths, gaining insights, and building the coping skills that help you build a better life.

Hello, and welcome to my profile. I am experienced in helping people process various life events and mental health challenges. I encourage people to take ownership of their healing through education and building mind-body awareness to respond to life in a way that is mindfully aligned.

I believe that no single experience defines us entirely and that we’re all capable of building resilience and fostering change. Whether you're feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward, unmotivated and struggling to feel accomplished, or feeling alone and seeking meaningful change, together we can navigate a compassionate process of untangling the knots to pave the way for longstanding healing and growth.

I provide personalized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals, offering empathetic support to navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness, trauma, negative thoughts, anger, and grief. In couples therapy, I utilize the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for improved communication and to address issues such as infidelity, trust-building, premarital preparation, conflict resolution, parenting concerns, and guiding couples away from divorce with empathy and understanding.

Niyamma Therapy is accepting new clients! If you are feeling lost, in the need for support or guidance, or simply want to better your existing circumstances, Niyamma Therapy can help! Niyamma is a play on the Sanskrit word “Niyam”, which means “principle”. Everyone comes from a different walk of life, different circumstances, and that is why the “principles” which they follow for fulfillment, enlightenment, and happiness vary. At Niyamma Therapy, a variety of modalities and approaches are used. I personally am trained in DBT , but also incorporate CBT, Narrative, Client Focused Therapy, and other approaches.

Are you looking to understand your experiences and create a new path forward? Maybe you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship troubles? Perhaps something needs to change but you're not sure where to start or what change could look like. I'm a psychotherapist that's passionate about providing a supportive therapy space where teens and young adults can unpack their experiences and learn more about themselves.

Marriage or trauma, depression or anxiety; seeking help when you are feeling stuck is difficult but necessary in your first step towards change. By equipping yourself with tools that you can add to your "toolbox" of life, you will find ways to overcome difficult situations which can guide you to growth, change or healing. As a registered psychotherapist (RP), my specialty is working with those who have experienced trauma, couples who are experiencing marital difficulties, and individuals that are struggling through mental health issues, especially youth.

Are you struggling to cope with the relentless burden of stress and anxiety? I specialize in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), aimed at helping you regain control and find peace. As a seasoned psychotherapist, my expertise extends to understanding the unique challenges faced by individuals from the South Asian community, making me well-equipped to provide a nurturing and empathetic space for clients dealing with a range of issues, including anxiety disorders, stress management, emotional turmoil, cultural adaptation, and more.

Sometimes life’s challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, helpless, or stressed. I am here to support you in finding your path while building on your strengths as an individual. I believe it is important to embrace one’s individuality and help you discover your true ability to overcome difficult situations. I aim to provide an empathetic, non-judgemental and safe space where you feel heard. I follow person-centered and strengths-based approaches, where I draw from various modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based interventions.

You might be here because you are searching for someone to help you with how you're feeling. You may feel anxious, depressed, stressed, like you don't measure up, or stuck and are hoping to find a compassionate listener. Perhaps you're dealing with big life transitions, issues between you and your partner(s), marginalization, interpersonal conflict, finding your purpose, or competing priorities. Bringing any of this to therapy can be scary. There is profound healing power in being courageous, listened to, validated, and encouraged.

A lot of my clients find themselves juggling cultural expectations, keeping family secrets, and trying to stay strong even when life gets tough. It can feel like you’re walking a tightrope between what’s expected of you and what you really need for your mental well-being. But here’s the deal: you don’t have to do it alone. My approach to therapy is laid-back and genuine, with a dash of humour because I believe therapy should be a space where you can truly be yourself.
