Our Calgary Psychologists That Are Options for Clients With VAC Veterans Affairs Canada Insurance
As a Provisional Registered Psychologist, I enjoy working with young adults from (ages 18-40) helping them through challenges related to stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I also address trauma, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. I am dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. Currently pursuing my Doctorate (Psy.D) in Clinical Psychology, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Informed Therapy. My approach emphasizes resilience, confidence, and the development of effective coping strategies.

I recognize that cultural...
As a Registered Provisional Psychologist, I bring both lived experience and over a decade of work in social services into the therapy room. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect for the unique paths that shape each client’s story. I work collaboratively with clients—honouring that they are the experts of their own lives—while gently guiding them using evidence-based practices within a trauma-informed, culturally responsive framework. Born and raised in Calgary, I come from a South Asian background and understand first-hand the complexities of navigating multiple identities, generational expectations, and the unspoken grief that can accompany cultural transitions. My parents immigrated from India in the early 80s, and growing up in a bicultural environment shaped my deep appreciation for resilience, compassion, and the power of community. These values have guided my path into mental health and continue to inform my work today. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege...
