ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

Hi there! I sincerely applaud you for taking this leap, considering therapy is a courageous decision. From my own experience, I understand the difficulty in reaching out for support. I would also share how beneficial this experience was and is. I hope this for you too.

My name is Tatum Bedard; I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I hold a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, sexuality, sexual challenges and daily life stressors. As a client-centered therapist, I value a collaborative and authentic connection with you, as you are the expert of your life. I use a variety of therapeutic frameworks and interventions, including, CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and ACT. I value meeting clients where they are at in their life, drawing on the past if necessary for what is coming up in the present. Together we can explore your needs to continue building self-awareness, coping strategies, and healing. 

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, running, reading, spending time with my friends and family, and watching movies!

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

Hello! If you’re reading this; chances are you deserve a self high-five because you have taken a difficult leap. Seeking help is the first win in your journey.  My intention in therapy is to create genuine connection, where you feel safe and learn to carry the heavy loads of life in a more strategic way. 

I hold a Masters in counselling psychology (qualifying) , as well as a post-graduate certificate in Addictions and Mental health. My experience has been working with individuals managing anxiety, depression, life stresses, among other mental health challenges and their impacts on daily life/relationships. 

Other than a therapist, I am a mom of a little girl. My passions include, spending time with family, yoga, baking/cooking,animals and getting in touch with my spiritual side. Many people put travel in their bio and although I love the beach and occasionally travelling, I am more of a homebody. There is no better feeling to me than coming home from a trip.

My name is Vandya Puri, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and member in good standing with the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP). I hold a Master’s Degree in Applied Counselling Psychology from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, India. 

I am an individual who believes in supporting someone in their journey towards self-awareness and better mental health. I like to meet clients where they are in their journey and work though it with them in a collaborative manner. I chose to become a Psychotherapist because it gives me the opportunity to learn from another human being at a deeper and more conscious level. There are a lot of unpleasant life experiences one goes through in their life. As a Psychotherapist I feel I get the opportunity to help them have a smooth transition into the different roads of their journey. As a client centred practitioner I use varied forms of therapy including, CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness based practises in an integrated manner. I have an experience of working with a varied range if population including, children, adolescents, young adults, older adults and families. I use my knowledge of therapeutic skills, and clients concerns to tailor their individual sessions. 

My experience entails working with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem and awareness, life transitions, grief, work-related stresses, and working on own development. Using my authentic and empathic self, I choose to create a safe space for my clients. I practise in English, Hindi and Punjabi.

In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, spending quality time with my family and friends. I enjoy doing yoga and going for walks by myself. It helps me rejuvenate and introspect.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS 

I believe mental health is an ever-changing journey and sometimes we need a guide for support. I consider it an honour to be your guide, as we work together to consider the whole person. In collaboration, we can explore your unique needs and the experiences that shape who you are. 

I have worked in mental health for 10-years predominately with children, youth, young adults, families, and those within the 2SLGBTQIA+ population. I specialize in these populations with a focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, stress, suicidal thought, and self-harm. 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, growing my plant collection, reading, cooking, traveling to new places, and binging my favourite shows.
