Therapists in V1Z

Hello! I am so glad that you found me. My name is Sarada and I am an experienced therapist holding a Masters in Social Work degree. I work with individuals, couples, families and organizations to identify their values and create greater alignment with their purpose and vision. I believe that my role is to support you to remember and act upon your truest and most authentic Self. What would your life look like when you live the life of your dreams and fullest potential? What is the one step that you can take today to remember and live out that inner spark that we all have?

Do you struggle with depression or anxiety? Are you unsure of what to do from here? Let's untangle those moments to help you see your true self, which includes your strengths, struggles and life transitions. When we see ourselves through a different lens, we may recognize a more authentic self, creating self-acceptance and self-love. Let’s work together to create a relationship based on trust, genuineness and acceptance. I have daytime and evening availability.

The journey is not easy, but developing a sense of well-being is possible!

My mission in life is to help people grow and thrive in their environments. Life can be difficult and hard to navigate. Whether you're dealing with pain from the loss of a loved one. Or a recent job loss or career change. The family dynamics that can be a surprise. The feelings that can come from being lonely or afraid. The crippling anxiety that can come from something new and strange happening in your life. Our passion is to help people maneuver through all of the obstacles with compassion and empathy in an open and calm setting. Being open to help people in all age groups is something we all strive for.

We all tell ourselves stories about who we are and how we fit into the world. Sometimes, these ways we have of talking to ourselves can become problematic and affect our internal wellbeing, anxiety, relationships, and emotional health. I have a special interest in working with you to explore your internal narratives and identities to help you find ways to create a more positive and cohesive sense of self. I am also uniquely invested in working with teens and young adults. My focus is in the areas of identity formation and trauma recovery including sexual, religious, childhood, and physical traumas.

By all appearances you have a rather functional life, but on the inside you feel weighed down by past experiences. You feel the lingering impact of past wounds on your present-day life - perhaps persistent anxiety, intrusive memories, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others. Maybe it feels hard to let people in or to connect emotionally. Maybe emotions actually get so big they've become scary to feel. You're ready to start taking a look inside (with my support and guidance), to get curious about how your previous lived experiences are perhaps connected to present-day blocks and pain.

As a neurodivergent mom with two kiddos, I understand the many challenges of navigating a neurotypical world. People with ADHD, Autism, and/or Learning Disabilities can struggle with balancing the demands of work, school, relationships, parenting, our own wellbeing, or even just everyday tasks. Our nervous systems often become used to chronic states of overwhelm, which can lead us to engage in old patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that keep us feeling stuck. My goal as a therapist is to empower you to understand how your neurodivergent brain works so that you can access your truest potential.
