Hi, I’m Supriya — a psychotherapist offering a supportive space to work through anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or feeling stuck. I take a gentle, collaborative approach that honours your pace and lived experience. I also have training in ADHD and support with focus, emotional regulation, and navigating life’s ups and downs. You don’t have to figure it all out alone — let’s take the next step together.

Background

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns at a pace that feels right. My approach blends holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive care, with a focus on emotional wellness, boundaries, and self-understanding. I work with individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, self-worth, and family dynamics—especially those from collectivistic cultures who may struggle with expectations, identity, or being the “strong one.” If you’re looking for someone who sees the whole person—not just the symptoms—I’d be honoured to support you on your healing journey.

Your therapeutic experience with me

Sitting in session together often feels like taking a deep breath of release after carrying so much. It’s a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported without judgment or pressure. I ensure you feel safe enough to let down the masks we carry and show up as you are. My style is warm, collaborative, and curious. I’m here to help you slow down, tune in, and make sense of what’s beneath the surface. Whether we’re unpacking cultural expectations, navigating ADHD, or exploring suppressed emotions, I move at your pace while offering insight, structure, and tools. My hope is that you leave each session feeling lighter, more connected to yourself, and reminded that healing is possible.

Therapeutic approaches

Person-centered Therapy

At the core of my work is a belief that you are the expert of your own life. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where your experiences are deeply heard and respected. This approach allows us to move at your pace, with empathy, warmth, and unconditional positive regard guiding our work together.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

I acknowledge the influence of culture, family, and community in shaping who we are. I offer therapy that honours your cultural values, lived experiences, and the complexities that come with navigating two worlds. Together, we explore identity, belonging, and healing in a way that feels respectful and affirming.

Strength-based Approach

Rather than focusing only on what’s “wrong,” we look at what’s strong. I help you recognize your inner strengths, resilience, and personal wisdom—especially in spaces where those qualities may have been overlooked or dismissed. This approach supports empowerment and confidence-building.

Trauma-informed Therapy

I hold space gently, with deep respect for the ways your nervous system may be protecting you. Trauma-informed care means we move with safety and consent, and I help you understand how past experiences may be impacting your present without forcing you to revisit what you’re not ready for.

I also incorporate these evidence-based approaches when clinically appropriate:

Mindfulness-based Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)

FAQ

What can I expect in the first session?

Your first session is about getting to know you—your story, your goals, and what’s bringing you to therapy. We'll also review your intake and consent forms, talk about how I work, and begin creating a space that feels safe and supportive for you.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply curious about yourself—therapy might be a good place to start. You don’t need to have all the answers or a specific “problem” to begin. Therapy can help you process emotions, explore patterns, and build tools for navigating life more intentionally.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes, sessions are offered virtually to make therapy more accessible and flexible. You can attend from the comfort of your own space, as long as you’re located in Ontario.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

Yes, in-person sessions are available on a limited basis. There is currently a waitlist for these appointments—please contact me directly to learn more or to be added to the waitlist.

Are you covered by insurance?

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO. Many insurance plans in Ontario cover sessions with RP (Qualifying) therapists. I recommend checking with your provider directly to confirm your specific coverage.

What issues do you support clients with?

I support adults with emotional overwhelm, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and navigating cultural or identity-based stress. My work is holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive.
