Family Therapy in Scarborough, ON

Taking the first step toward self-care and healing can be intimidating! I understand, empathize, and welcome you to share your story within a safe, accepting, and non-judgemental space. Each person is an expert in the story of their own lives – no one knows you better than you know yourself. My role is to help facilitate change, promote positive growth, and foster healing. Using integrative approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the tools of mindfulness, I help adults and adolescents move past stuck feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

You find yourself asking how did you get here and where do you go now. You have had a monumental change in your life that has caused you to re-evaluate where you are. You have experienced trauma that has changed how you view the world. You find yourself unable to sleep or enjoy the things you used to in life because you're concerned about where you are and where you are going. Trauma and changes to the "normal" patters in our life can cause a person to feel lost and alone. If you are ready to start feeling like you did before this change or to forge a new path through this new normal, you are in the right place.

Anxiety and stress are inevitable in life. Dealing with our thoughts and emotions can lead to a better quality of life. My goal is to provide my clients with necessary tools and strategies to become their own therapist! I am a registered social worker with Masters degree specializing in Mental Health and Addictions from the prestigious university of Toronto. I am currently working as a full-time psychotherapist at a reputed hospital in GTA. I bring more than 9 years of counselling experience into my practice. I draw from extensive professional training to ensure you reach your desired outcome.

We are so happy to see you taking your first step to healing! Karkiu Psychotherapy and Counselling is here to help you feel more like yourself and to find peace in living life authentically. In this ever-changing world, it is easy to suddenly feel lost and stuck like the world is passing us by. Somehow, you don't feel quite like yourself anymore.

By unpacking your past experiences and exploring how they relate to your present life, we can create a future that is aligned with your values and aspirations.

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.

We both know that if you made your way here...then the pot is boiling over...sighh...the pressure is getting worser isn't it?.... You want to change some behaviours or thoughts of yourself, and yet you find yourself in this dark and heavy place that blocks you from the change or outcome that you deeply desire. - you might have even tried; yet the self-defeating behaviours seem to get you every time. Step into this safe space, and lean into me to gain insight, experience relatedness, gain effective tools, effective thought processing, be asked questions that tap into that deep space. Let's connect to begin that journey together.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. I work with clients to improve their resiliency and help to uncover their strengths. I use different modalities to meet the individual's needs. I use a client-centred approach that gives the client the ability to drive the sessions' goals. I help clients connect the dots between patterns that were established in their childhood and its manifestations in adult life. This aids in understanding the connection between the two and enables an exploration of ways to alter them.

Congratulations on taking the first step to open a new door for your life journey by finding a therapist here! Each of us has a unique journey in life where we encounter difficult situations and challenges. How we tackle and view these situations and challenges is influenced by our past experiences. While we cannot physically go back to change our past, we can begin writing and rewriting a new chapter of this story. Change has never been easy, and I am pleased to be your self-discovery ally to understand, empower and guide you toward your inner self and new possibilities.
