About Me
Hi, my name is Chitra.
I specialize in supporting adults navigating emotional overwhelm, difficult family dynamics, and grief. My work is especially focused on those who have spent much of their lives being strong for others — and are now ready to understand themselves more deeply and create space for their own needs.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Inner child and trauma-informed work
-
Emotional regulation tools
-
A strong focus on empathy, validation, and safety
I believe healing doesn’t come from “fixing” yourself — but from understanding, processing, and reconnecting with yourself.
Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone anymore. I also offer discounted rate therapy for a limited time so if you are struggling with financial commitments, please get in touch about the rates.

“I felt truly heard and supported from the beginning. Chitra helped me break out of a toxic mental cycle and guided me toward a healthier space. I’m not fully ‘there’ yet, but I’ve made meaningful progress and feel less alone.”
