Do you find yourself worrying about situations that may or could happen in life and socially? Do you feel low, unmotivated, or hopeless? Do you find it difficult to cope with stress or cope with distress through avoidance or substances? If so, you may be in the right place at the right time; let's connect! My specialty is working with males, females, and unspecified youth and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, OCD, & stress. I have extensive experience working with people of colour. You deserve to live your best life, free from the weight of anxiety, depression, and the weight of others' misunderstandings.
I offer in-person sessions in Mississauga and virtual sessions across Ontario. As a South Asian Therapist, I provide culturally-adapted and trauma-focused services under the cognitive-behavioural framework, with the ability to integrate mindfulness and DBT as needed to cultivate positive outcomes in the sessions (MI for behavioural/substance addictions).
Together, we will embark on a transformative journey by challenging negative beliefs, developing healthier habits, and prioritizing our mental health. I am fluent in English, Urdu, and Hindi. Free consultations are offered, with coverage from most insurance companies for ongoing sessions. Looking forward to meeting you (or e-meeting you).
