Hi! My name is Sukhi and I'm the owner of Abyss Psychotherapy, a virtual practice. Does it feel like your emotions control you? Do you have people in your life telling you "you need therapy"? Do you fight to keep it together until you're alone and then finally break down? Does it feel like you're on a spiral downwards and can't stop? If you need a space to breathe, to wonder "why", to express heavy emotions, I can hold that space for you. If you need tangible skills, I can teach, practice with you, and provide homework. If you need release from trauma, I can help you work with the body and unlearn what the trauma has taught.

It takes incredible strength to reach out for help, and if you are reading this, I applaud you for taking that first step.

My ideal client is someone who feels weighed down by the demands of life, constantly carrying a heavy load without the space to put it down. This could be an athlete struggling with performance pressure or a new parent adjusting to the changes and challenges of parenthood, feeling disconnected, and anxious. The goal is to manage stress, strengthen connections, and rediscover a grounded sense of self.

Working within a clinical setting on a trauma and neurosurgery unit has provided me with extensive experience helping individuals navigate the complexities of trauma, grief, and recovery. I understand the deep connection between mental health and the psychosocial impact it has on a personal's health and how it can impact overall well-being. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, gain insight, and develop tools for lasting change. Using an integrative approach I help clients build resilience, and move toward healing and personal growth both individually and in group settings.

Life can be challenging, leaving us feeling stuck, overwhelmed and pushed beyond our limits. From daily stresses and struggles to unexpected problems, we may not be aware of how these challenges impact us. In these moments, you may be in search of support, relief, change, growth or something different. Connecting with the right therapist to explore your needs is essential, and the relationship you develop is the most crucial aspect of therapy. I strive to offer you a safe, supportive, positive space to work through your challenges, understand your concerns and help you overcome the obstacles that come your way.

We all have our moments when we feel that we are in a rut, or feelings of anxiety and depression overwhelm us. Trauma, lack of self-confidence and trouble in relationships can also lead to stressors affecting our day to day life. As a South Asian immigrant, I not only understand these issues, but I am also able to comprehend the cultural complexities that surround them. Therapy may be an unfamiliar or overwhelming tool to use, keeping this in mind, I offer a judgement free and empathetic environment to feel safe in.

I’m incredibly passionate about intersectionality and the ways in which our held identities inform how we navigate relationships, health & well-being, trauma, and the world as a whole. I recognize how challenging it can be to find safe and affirming spaces that take these identities into account, especially when working towards personal growth, self-exploration, and healing. I root my work in intersectionality and feminism, preferring an integrative process using different aspects of multiple theories and approaches.

For the last 7 years, I have worked with survivors of trauma - including sexual violence, familial violence, racial trauma, homophobia, among others - to address and process their experiences. My approach to therapy is warm, responsive, playful and transparent. I believe that every person benefits from learning about themselves, and that understanding the process of therapy helps with learning about the self. I meet you where you are (literally, in some ways, as I am offering digital therapy), and believe we can move from there. I want therapy to be useful, and welcome honesty, feedback, and laughter in session.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.

Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.

Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
