Deepak is a Master of Counselling Practicum and provides reduced rate counselling services for 10 and over. Her modalities of practice are CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Is it becoming harder to face life expectations related to getting married, having children, or buying a home? Is belonging to a particular social or economic bracket holding you from advancing in your life?

Managing the social and familial expectations between two cultures is overwhelming and can leave you feeling defeated, unsure about your future, and make you feel like giving up.

As a second-generation South Asian-Canadian, my lived experience of having navigated the values and norms of two distinct cultures uniquely positions my insight into the struggles and inner conflict silently endured.

Life transitions which include grief and loss or re-negotiating the changing nature of relationships such as separation and/or divorce, infertility, grief, motor vehicle accidents, assault (domestic violence, campus assault, rape), abuse (physical, emotional, spiritual, and/or financial), depression, and anxiety are my areas of counselling focus.

In your session with me, we will together take apart your story one event, one emotion, one thought at a time. Currently, my approach aligns with methods used in the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy although my therapeutic leanings are integrative.

Find your voice, one story at a time.

Fees are not covered under medical plans but are often covered under health spending accounts.

I work with individuals, children, youth and families. I have supported children, youth and their families navigating challenges of anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, abuse, and more. I have a strong background in child development and also integrate play based therapeutic modalities. Working together, I strive to empower individuals and families to recognize and work towards goals that better their lives by adding meaning and giving purposeful direction. As a parent of children that have benefited from accessing mental health supports to overcome difficulties, I enjoy the process of working side-by-side with family members to create lasting change.

I work from a client-centered, attachment-based approach that focusses on the individual and their relationships with others, their environment, and themselves. I work from a number of different therapeutic approaches including mindfulness-based practices, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, solution focused approaches, self-compassion, and play-based interventions. I have experience in facilitating psycho-educational and therapeutic groups for children, youth, and caregivers to serve clients as part of a collective that offers a different approach than that of individual counselling.

Every person deserves to be heard, respected, and feel connection that they can carry into their everyday lives and larger community. I work to create an environment that is warm and safe for each individual to foster their growth and progress.

I am a registered psychologist, assessment psychologist for adults and children including Autism and ADHD, a certified play therapist as well as a Clinical Supervisor for Provisional Psychologists. I work with children, youth, parents and immigrant women.

I began working as a Clinical Psychologist with children ten years ago in Brazil. In 2013, I immigrated to Canada to continue pursuing my career in psychology and work towards becoming a certified play therapist. This experience has given me insight into what children and families face when moving to a different country, such as struggles with cultural issues, racism and other related experience. For this reason, I integrate a multicultural approach during counselling sessions. I specialize in working with children aged 4 to 17 experiencing a range of social, emotional, and behavioural concerns such as anxiety, attachment issues, self-esteem, ADHD, autism, oppositional defiance, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), peer relationships, among other issues. I take a holistic approach when it comes to understanding and treating children’s mental health challenges by considering a child’s physical, personal, cultural, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being and their cognitive aspects when assessing their symptoms and making a treatment plan. When working with children my goal is to support your child, alongside yourself as their parent or caregiver, through a holistic and whole-person approach to meet the unique needs of the individual or family system. I work collaboratively with other professionals to ensure that each child and family are supported and connected to the resources needed to achieve their goals.
