Therapists in Oshawa, ON

Compassionate support is here! I have been of service to the community for over 20 years including working at a women's shelter, rape crisis centre, high schools, and hospices. I work with clients in the areas of couples, divorce/separation, policing/first responders, stress management, anxiety, depression, bereavement, blended/step-families, cross-cultural issues, and healthy relationships. I use solution focused techniques, somatic experiencing and mindfulness strategies to guide my clients to build their own "tool box" with skills to assist them through difficult emotions, situations and life events.

Are you struggling with troubling thoughts or feeling stuck in life? Looking for clarity through difficult past or present? Please feel free to reach out. I am a registered psychotherapist, and I believe in empowering my clients with new skills and perspectives so they can grow and realize their own potential. My approach is client centred, and rooted in the idea of cultivating love and kindness for one self. Within the safety of our sessions, together we can examine and work on areas of your life that need kind attention.

If you’re reading this, I believe there is a part of you that yearns for some positive change in your life. I also believe that I can help you get there; together. ​I have over 12 years of experience in community mental health through which I’ve encountered folks from all walks of life and I’m certain of one thing: we all want to feel heard and be seen. ​Our respective journeys can be full of all kinds of experiences which can often include trauma, stress, grief, anxiety, feelings of depression and cause us to question how to move forward.

Now accepting clients for phone/video! In life, we take many paths. Some paths are smooth and effortless, while others can be rough and challenging. Sometimes, on a particularly difficult path, we can lose sight of our goals, loved ones, and the connection to our inner selves. On the surface, it may feel like we do not have the strength to get through these hardships. But I believe that we can find it within ourselves to forge new pathways towards happiness. Therapy is empowering! By working through emotions, thoughts, and feelings, you can grow into the person you want to be, and achieve your full potential

Welcome to Rooh Therapy- where healing meets the soul! As a Social Worker with South Asian immigrant roots, I not only bring over 6 years of experience serving diverse communities but also deeply personal experiences navigating the complexities of my dual identities and the multiple hats I wear-as the eldest daughter, a woman, a person of colour and a 1.5 generation immigrant. My journey uniquely informs the compassionate care I offer to my clients of diverse backgrounds, enriching our therapeutic journey together.

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.

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.

Looking for the right therapist can be challenging and stressful. When I sit across from a client, I value and respect that I am being invited into important, personal situations, thoughts, and vulnerabilities. My philosophy to clinical work comes from my belief that you are trying to do the best you can and want support to do better. I will both accept you for where you are at, while helping you pushing toward the change you are looking for. I collaborate with my clients to then tailor the therapy I provide to the individual-pulling on my experience, trainings, and the understanding that we all are human.

Successful psychotherapy requires close cooperation between a client seeking change, and an experienced therapist/coach to facilitate that change. I work with individuals, couples, families and expatriates in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety and chemical dependency. I offer personalized treatment approaches from the fields of clinical counselling, organizational and occupational psychology as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. As a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, I also encourage lifestyle adjustments as part of a holistic treatment designed to help clients cope, and continue onto their path of recovery.

Your mental health is important, and I want to commend you for taking the first step towards seeking support. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression or simply seeking someone to talk to, I am here to listen, understand, and guide you towards emotional wellness. My firm belief is that when you gain a better understanding of your inner experiences you start to become ‘unstuck’. In a secure and encouraging space, you can uncover your true self, cope with stressors, make life changes, break free of patterns that no longer serve you and find meaning. We will work together as you uncover the life you want to live.

Problems are inevitable and normal in life, some can be small and some bigger than one can handle. At that time an extra set of hands surely help. I can be that extra set of hands to pick you up when you are down by listening to you without judging, guiding you to get back to the rhythm of life, and cheering you from side lines, using some time tested techniques that have helped many to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, addictions and grief, to name a few. I have helped many people in my 25 years of professional life in USA and Canada. I invite you to join me to explore your unending possibilities in life.

All of us experience stressors and struggles in our lives. Essentially, it is about how we process these situations that can leave long-lasting impacts. There is no right or wrong way in the processing of these events, rather there are healthy versus unhealthy coping skills. My role is to facilitate your emotional and mental health journey, to aid in building up resiliency so that you are better able to manage and work through those stressors.
