We are a team of BIPOC, trauma-informed Regd. Clinical Counsellors, Art Therapists and other health practitioners, experienced in working with teens, youth and adults braving a range of mental health challenges. We offer Individual, Relationship, Group and Online Counselling. We hold an affirming, non-pathologizing, culturally-safe and harm-reduction lens in our practice. I (Shivani Agarwal) hold a Narrative Therapy approach and often blend it with art therapy. I have found that this way, even the people with awkward hide-and-seek relationships with their mental health make consistent progress, despite the resistance.
Areas: Anxiety - Social & Social Media Anxiety, Acculturation Stress (adjusting in a new culture), Overcoming "Creative Block" & burnout. Trauma- Grief & Loss, Abuse and/or assault. Identity Exploration - Developing understanding and acceptance of self, expression, gender, body image, personality, values, sexual orientation. Relationships & sexual concerns.
Accepting that you or your relationships need help is not always easy. Asking for help doesn’t mean you (or your relationships) are weak, it means that you want to remain strong. As tough as it might be, it reflects your wisdom of your own resiliency and when you need to nurture it. I urge you to connect with me so we can take one step at a time- together.
