Hi, I’m Kavita, a South Asian therapist with 15+ years of experience supporting youth, adults, couples, and families. I help clients heal from trauma, navigate life’s challenges, and build resilience using a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed approach. Have you been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in old patterns, struggling in relationships, or unsure how to balance cultural expectations with your needs? I provide warm, collaborative support to help you find clarity, balance, and meaningful growth.
I help with managing anxiety, stress, and difficult emotions, improving communication and setting boundaries in relationships, and processing trauma or grief. With a strong background in supporting caregivers, parents, and seniors, I help individuals and families foster resilience, self-awareness, and lasting emotional balance for meaningful growth.
My counselling is personalized to meet your unique needs, promoting meaningful change at your pace. I use mindfulness, grounding, DBT, psychodynamic approaches, and IFS for deeper insight, integrating a trauma-informed lens and exploring childhood experiences, while considering cultural and spiritual perspectives through a holistic, collaborative framework.
