Do you often find yourself being strong for everyone else while your own needs go unseen? Clients often come feeling stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt, or navigating toxic relationships, shaped by childhood experiences, cultural pressures, or generational trauma. I bring a unique perspective, having worked with men and women in federal prisons across Ontario and facilitating a 12-week psycho-educational group for men charged with intimate partner violence (IPV). Many clients I work with are healing from generational trauma, emotional neglect, and complex family dynamics.

I am Preanka. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and I have completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I have a passion for mental health and helping others find ways to cope with the world around them. It is completely normal to feel unsure about therapy or even scared to open up to someone you just met. I want to create a safe space where clients can openly share without feeling judged or criticized. I understand that this is not an easy journey, but I am here to make therapy a smooth transition back to wellness.

I am the founder of Nuummite Psychotherapy and I support people who appear steady on the outside yet feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or lost beneath life’s demands. My work is trauma-informed and evidence-based, integrating EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, Gestalt, and psychosomatic approaches to explore how unresolved trauma, grief, and relational patterns live in both the mind and body. I also incorporate spiritually grounded and holistic practices, including sound therapy and mind–body work, to support deeper nervous-system regulation and healing. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, and teens.

Are you an emotionally intelligent, self-aware, highly sensitive woman who's read all the books, saved every therapy reel, knows her attachment style and love language, and is STILL stuck in the same patterns? You say yes when you mean no, you over-give to people who can't give it back, and there's a quiet voice underneath it all asking: why am I always the one who cares more? Your nervous system is stuck in a fawn response, your inner critic is relentless, and no matter how much journaling, breathwork, or self-care you do, the cycle keeps repeating. You've done the shadow work. You know your triggers. But nothing seems to stick

Do you find yourself to be very self-critical and worried about what other people think of you? You’re someone who puts yourself second to make sure other people are happy, but still find yourself anxious, feeling burnout, and thinking you're not “good enough”. You may be worried to change because you’re scared your friends and loved ones will stop liking you. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to set boundaries with those around you. You’re ready to stop ruminating on negative thoughts. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself and embrace your strengths and weaknesses. Sound familiar? I want to help you get there.

When helpful, I integrate mindfulness and somatic tools, to support mind-body awareness, strengthen coping skills, and foster meaningful, lasting change.
I'm glad you're here. Knowing firsthand how hard it can be to reach out, I commend you for taking this first step, for leading with courage and breaking the stigma around mental health. As a second-generation Sri Lankan Tamil woman in Toronto, I work from an understanding of acculturation stress, intergenerational dynamics, identity, and family relationships. I deeply respect the resilience people possess and consider it a privilege to support each of my clients as they reconnect with their strengths and move toward lives that feel more grounded, authentic, and aligned with who they are.

Since 2022, I've supported clients with a compassionate, evidence-based approach using somatic based therapy, emotion focused therapy and psychodynamic therapy.
Do you ever feel like you’re the strong one for everyone else, yet quietly exhausted inside? Maybe you overthink, second-guess yourself, or find it hard to feel truly secure in your relationships. You want to feel more grounded, more confident and more connected - not just cope better, but actually understand yourself on a deeper level. If you learned to push your own needs aside to keep the peace, therapy can be a space to slow down, feel genuinely seen and begin building a relationship with yourself that feels safe, steady, and real.

We know the universe is vast, yet we often overlook the vastness of the human mind. I have a passion and curiosity for exploring each person's mini-universe, where there are mysteries waiting to be unfolded, strength and resilience to be found, and the potential for real change.
While we all face adversities and uncertainty, each person's challenges are unique, and so I consider each client the expert on their own experience of their minds & bodies. I believe our minds can amplify our suffering at times, but I also believe we can learn to better understand and access our emotions, change our narratives, and build lasting solutions.
