My name is Pooja, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I believe everyone has strengths, support, and a desire for growth. Such support needs to encompass unconditional positive regard and understanding. It is important to meet clients where they are and strive towards their goals with compassion, while gently challenging beliefs. I believe all clients have a unique perspective of their situation rooted in their identity, values, and culture.

I have a Master of Science in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with a major in Psychology, both from the University of Calgary. My approach to counseling is client-centred, strengths-based, evidence-based, and culturally responsive to meet client needs. I draw from Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Previously, I have worked with disadvantaged populations who struggled with systematic barriers impacting their employment and housing, which then affected their mental health and relationships with friends and family. I also worked closely with clients, supporting them in their grief journey. These experiences taught me that the challenges individuals face are contextualized to their sociocultural positionality, identity, and relationship dynamics.

Let’s discover your strength and resilience together to get closer to your goals. I recognize client outcomes are associated with a good fit between the therapist and client. Therefore, I offer a 15-minute, no-cost phone consultation so we can get to know each other before a session. I offer therapy in English and Punjabi.
