My name is Arujuhna (Arjuna) and I am a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and I have a certificate in concurrent disorders.

I have over eight years of experience in both mental health and addictions in various community-based settings and most recently in the children and youth mental health sector. I practice from a client centered approach where therapy is not predetermined. Every individual is different, and I adapt my approach to the individual’s needs.

I specialize in areas of depression, anxiety, grief, stress, self-esteem, cultural and relationship issues. I am a strong believer that the therapeutic alliance (between client and therapist) is important indicator for positive change. Those that know me would say that I am empathetic, non-judgemental and good listener; qualities that are important in improving therapeutic alliance. As a therapist it is important for me to provide dignity and respect to those that I help. I am dedicated towards collaborative person centered approach to help you move forward.

My modalities include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Based Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Based Interventions, Cognitive Processing Therapy Protocol, And Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
