Hi, I’m Arshiya (Ari), a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I specialize in helping youth and adults navigate life’s challenges, whether it’s anxiety, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, trauma, or cultural identity struggles.

My journey into mental health began with a deep passion for understanding the mind and supporting others. I earned my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and my undergraduate degree in Neuroscience and Psychology from the University of Toronto. My early career in behavioural therapy gave me invaluable experience working with children, youth, and adults with developmental disorders, fostering emotional resilience and practical skills.

As someone who grew up in a South Asian immigrant family, I understand how difficult it can be to talk about mental health—especially when it feels taboo or misunderstood. That’s why I’m committed to breaking the stigma and creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward at your own pace.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your needs. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and culturally responsive techniques to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking for support, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to navigate your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
