Professional Background

Greetings,
Palak completed her Master’s in Counselling Psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University. Her journey in mental health began seven years ago at a Neuro-Psychiatry hospital, where she acquired invaluable experience. This foundation, combined with her Doctoral studies, highlights her deep understanding of the human mind and her ability to address a wide range of mental health challenges. From India to Canada, Palak’s professional journey reflects her adaptability and passion for continuous learning.

Philosophy of Practice

In my therapeutic approach, I resonate deeply with the wisdom encapsulated in Dan Millman’s words: “The Secret of Change Is to Focus All of Your Energy, Not on Fighting the Old, But on Building the New.” This quote serves as a catalyst for holistic transformation—mind, body, and soul—which underpins my commitment to supporting clients in therapy.

What Sets Me Apart?

I wholeheartedly embrace the ethos embodied by the saying, “It takes a village.” My objective is to meet you precisely where you are and assist you in untangling the complexities of your life that may feel overwhelming or stagnant. I firmly believe in the inherent capacity for growth and self-improvement within each individual. During our sessions, I am dedicated to nurturing self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth. Together, we will explore your unique strengths, values, and aspirations, empowering you to cultivate a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Drawing from my personal journey as an immigrant, I intimately understand the challenges of navigating life-altering decisions alone. My areas of specialization encompass anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, emotional regulation, life transitions (including immigration and grief), stress/burnout, relational issues, intolerance of uncertainty, school and work-related stressors, pet bereavement, post-adoption, postpartum challenges, family conflict, performance anxiety, and gambling issues.

I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds, including couples, families, adults, teens, tweens, and children. Regardless of where you find yourself on your journey, I am here to provide support, guidance, and a compassionate presence to help you navigate life’s trials and embrace transformative growth.

Your Partner in Healing, Growth, and Balance.
