Online Therapist in Toronto and Calgary 

Life can be stressful and overwhelming at times.

 

You might be struggling with anxiety and are looking for some emotional support and coping strategies. Or you might be dealing with stress at work and thinking about going on a leave - or maybe you're already on a leave and are trying to figure out how you'll manage if and when you do go back to work.

 

There could be major life transitions looming ahead in your living situation, work, and relationships that are worrying you and it might help to talk about how to prepare for or deal with these transitions.

 

Or maybe you're dealing with difficulty in your family relationships or with your partner and want some support with setting boundaries, communicating more effectively, and managing your emotions.

​

Low self esteem could be an issue you've had ever since you can remember and you want to explore this further in counselling while also learning how to build your confidence.

 

You also could be seeking therapy because you have a new diagnosis of a physical disability or chronic illness and you are having difficulty adjusting to your new normal. Perhaps you need support navigating it all in terms of its impact on your mental health, job / career, and personal life and relationships.

 

If some of these challenges sound familiar and you are seeking support from a therapist who specializes in these areas, please reach out for a consult to see how I might be able to help you.​

​

You could also be looking for a South Asian therapist - a counsellor who understands the intersection of mental health and culture and want someone of a similar background who can help you deal with issues with your family relationships and/or your partner as well as complex emotions you may be experiencing such as anxiety, guilt, shame, resentment, and more.
