Psychotherapy
Welcome. My name is Anand and I’m located in Toronto, Ontario. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists Of Ontario (CRPO).
Psychotherapy offers a space to slow down, turn toward what is present, and become curious about the parts of ourselves asking for our attention.
My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity and respect for your lived experience. Together, we explore what has shaped you, what you may be carrying, and what might become possible through a deeper relationship with yourself.
Anand (he/him), Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Approach & Focus
I am a Certified IFS Therapist and deeply passionate about Internal Family Systems (IFS), or ‘parts work.’ I currently serve as a Program Assistant with IFS trainings through the IFS Institute.
My work is relational, experiential and often somatic. I work primarily from an IFS approach. I often find IFS and EMDR go well together and can be potent in healing. I’m also trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Somatic) and Art Therapy, and I integrate these approaches if helpful through collaboration.
At the heart of my practice is our therapeutic relationship and a deep respect for your lived experience. Therapy is a co-created space where healing can unfold through connection, curiosity and compassion.
