ABOUT NEELAM

I'm Neelam, a therapist dedicated to providing empathic, collaborative, and client-centred care to support individuals in building and achieving their therapeutic goals. 

I specialize in working with young and emerging adults who may experience concerns with anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, self-esteem, cultural identity, and more. Life is full of highs and lows, and I can work with you to further explore your strengths and areas of growth to live a meaningful life on your terms.

We continue to enter an increasingly fast-paced world, often getting lost in the demands of work, school, relationships, and other responsibilities. Life can feel like it is on autopilot, leaving us with limited time to live in the present and care for ourselves. Uncertainty about the future and low motivation can result in the development of anxiety, periods of depression, poor life satisfaction, isolation, and burnout. In a non-judgmental, strengths-based environment, you can learn helpful mindfulness and coping skills to manage day-to-day stressors while ensuring you care for your mental health in a way that aligns with your values and desires.

As a South Asian woman raised in Canada, I recognize the challenges that may follow with managing the demands within a Western, individualistic culture that promotes independence and autonomy and a traditional, collectivistic culture that prioritizes the role of community and religious values in shaping how we live. Exploring different perspectives and values can be a helpful step toward discovering oneself and making meaningful change. I strive to use my experiences and expertise to support others struggling with conflicting thoughts and demands. As a team, we can explore your internal experiences and work together to guide you in living a rich and purposeful life.

In therapy, I believe that working collaboratively and making space for difficult and painful experiences can help one see the possibility of growth. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and solution-focused space that makes you feel comfortable, heard, and empowered.

Your now is not your forever, and we can discover this possibility together.
