Who I Help

I support men, youth, athletes, and professionals who want to strengthen their mental health, improve emotional resilience, and gain clarity during challenging life transitions. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Mississauga, I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, trauma, anger, burnout, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and workplace stress.

I also work with athletes and high-performing professionals who want to improve mental performance, manage pressure, and develop stronger emotional regulation skills. My work includes supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse, or gender-based violence, providing trauma-informed therapy in a safe and respectful environment.

I offer in-person therapy in Mississauga and virtual therapy across Ontario, making counselling accessible for clients seeking professional mental health support from the comfort of their home.

How I Help

My approach combines psychotherapy with mental performance coaching to help clients build both emotional wellbeing and practical life skills. As a therapist in Mississauga, I use evidence-based therapies to help clients understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours while developing strategies to manage stress, improve relationships, and increase confidence.

My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). I also incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, narrative therapy, attachment-based approaches, and person-centred therapy to create an individualized treatment plan for each client.

Through trauma-informed care and strength-based therapy, I help clients develop emotional regulation skills, improve self-awareness, and build resilience. Therapy may include strategies for stress management, confidence building, habit development, communication skills, and mental performance training for sports, work, and everyday life.

What Makes My Practice Different?

My practice combines psychotherapy with mental performance coaching, allowing clients to work not only on emotional healing but also on developing practical skills for success in everyday life. My background as a competitive athlete gives me a unique understanding of high-pressure environments and the mental challenges that can arise in sports, careers, and personal development.

I take a collaborative and culturally responsive approach to therapy, creating a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe exploring difficult emotions and experiences. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and focuses on helping clients develop practical tools they can apply outside of therapy.

I have experience working with diverse populations, including youth and caregivers affected by human trafficking, individuals with high-functioning autism, clients living with chronic pain, and men navigating issues related to identity, confidence, relationships, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients develop insight, emotional resilience, and the practical skills needed to move forward with clarity and purpose.

Who I Help

I work with children (ages 4+), teens, adults, couples, and families who are navigating emotional, behavioural, and relationship challenges. As a Registered Social Worker in Mississauga, I support clients experiencing concerns such as trauma, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, emotional regulation difficulties, and relationship conflict. I have experience working with children and youth with developmental differences, autism spectrum disorder, mild intellectual disabilities, and oppositional behaviours.

I also work with individuals seeking support for trauma recovery, stress, and life transitions. I am passionate about providing LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and creating a safe, inclusive space where clients feel supported as they explore their experiences, relationships, and personal growth.

How I Help

My therapeutic approach is person-centred, collaborative, and strength-based. I believe that every individual is unique and that therapy should be tailored to each person’s needs, goals, and life experiences. As an EMDR therapist in Mississauga, I help clients process traumatic or distressing experiences and reduce the emotional impact of past events so they can move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

I integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Polyvagal Theory-informed therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy. These approaches help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and physical responses, while developing practical coping strategies for everyday life. My work also includes ADHD-informed therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, helping clients improve focus, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.

Together, we focus on realistic goal setting, building resilience, and developing tools that support long-term emotional well-being and healthier relationships.

What Makes My Practice Different?

What sets my practice apart is my integrative and trauma-informed approach to therapy. I combine traditional psychotherapy techniques with nervous system–focused approaches that help clients understand how trauma and stress affect both the mind and body. By addressing both emotional and physiological responses, therapy can support deeper and more sustainable healing.

My professional experience working in hospital, legal, and educational settings allows me to support a diverse range of clients, including children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I am especially passionate about working with children and adolescents, individuals with ADHD, couples navigating relationship challenges, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapeutic space where clients feel safe to explore challenges and work toward meaningful change.

Urdu, Hindi & Punjabi Speaking Therapist in Mississauga.

Who I Help

I support adolescents, young adults, and adults in Mississauga and across Ontario who are seeking psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, emotional overwhelm, low mood, self-esteem concerns, chronic stress, grief and loss, and life transitions.

Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck in emotional patterns that are difficult to understand or change on their own. I also work with individuals navigating relationship challenges, family conflict, burnout, and the emotional impact of trauma, including gender-based violence and long-standing relational stress.

I offer psychotherapy in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, supporting South Asian and multicultural communities across Mississauga, the Greater Toronto Area, and Ontario. Being able to speak in your preferred language can support greater emotional clarity, comfort, and depth in the therapeutic process.

How I Help

I offer psychotherapy in Mississauga and affordable online therapy across Ontario through a collaborative, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approach. Sessions are structured to support both emotional understanding and practical coping in daily life.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), psychodynamic therapy, Narrative Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, and Polyvagal Theory.

Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and nervous system responses. Many clients benefit from exploring recurring emotional cycles, stress responses, and relationship dynamics, while also developing tools for emotional regulation and coping. The goal of therapy is to support meaningful psychological change over time, helping clients develop greater emotional awareness and a more balanced relationship with internal experiences.

Background

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University. I provide in-person sessions at Inner Wellness Psychotherapy in Mississauga and virtual therapy across Ontario. I bring genuine care, cultural awareness, and a strong foundation in evidence-based practice to every client relationship.

What Makes Me Different

What I bring into sessions is more than technique. I pay attention to how distress shows up beneath the surface, through the nervous system, through relational patterns, through experiences that have not yet found words. I also offer therapy in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, which for many clients shifts therapy from something that feels filtered into something that feels genuinely their own.

I offer affordable therapy in Mississauga and online across Ontario, because I believe that cost should not be a barrier to quality mental health support. If you are looking for a therapist in Mississauga who will meet you where you are, I would be glad to connect.

Your Partner in Safety, Healing, Growth, and Balance.

Children, Youth & Family Trauma Therapist in Mississauga.

**Accepting New Clients Virtual and In-Person Appointments.**

Who I Help

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families in Mississauga and across Ontario who are navigating anxiety, emotional dysregulation, depression, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, behavioural difficulties, school-related stress, family conflict, parenting stress, and relationship concerns.

Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or caught in patterns that continue across home, school, and relationships. I also support parents and caregivers who want to better understand their child’s emotional and behavioural needs while strengthening communication, connection, and relationships within the family.

Areas I Help With

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, behavioural concerns, school stress, family conflict, parenting stress, relationship difficulties, and challenges related to major life transitions.

My work with children and youth may include support with emotional regulation, coping, behaviour, school-related stress, relationships, and experiences that have affected their sense of safety or wellbeing.

I also work with families and couples experiencing communication difficulties, conflict, parenting challenges, emotional distance, and relationship patterns that have become difficult to change.

My Approach to Therapy

I take a structured, trauma-informed, collaborative, and strength-based approach to psychotherapy. I recognize that emotional and behavioural concerns rarely exist in isolation, particularly for children and youth. Our work may consider the individual, family, school, relationships, and other environments that shape their experiences.

My approach may incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET).

Depending on your needs, therapy may focus on understanding emotional and behavioural patterns, strengthening regulation and coping skills, improving communication, reducing distress, and developing practical strategies that can be used in everyday life.

Education, Training & Professional Background

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and am completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University. I also bring nearly 10 years of experience as an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT), working directly with children, youth, and families within school settings across Ontario.

My background in education gives me a practical understanding of how emotional, behavioural, academic, and relational challenges can intersect. It also allows me to consider how difficulties may appear differently at school, at home, and within relationships.

What You Can Expect From Therapy With Me

I aim to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

With children and youth, I recognize that therapy may look different from adult therapy. Building trust, creating a sense of safety, and finding ways for young clients to communicate and engage are important parts of the therapeutic process.

With parents and caregivers, our work may involve understanding what a child’s behaviour may be communicating, identifying patterns that contribute to distress, and developing practical ways to strengthen connection and communication.

With adults, couples, and families, I provide space to explore the experiences and relationship patterns contributing to current difficulties while working toward meaningful and practical change.

My goal is to help clients develop greater awareness, strengthen their existing abilities, and build tools that can support them beyond the therapy room.

Who I Help

I work with children, teens, adults, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, burnout, compassion fatigue, emotional regulation challenges, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, and the lasting impacts of gender-based violence, including intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and family violence. I support individuals from a wide range of cultural and gender identities who may be struggling with stress, emotional overwhelm, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, academic pressure, and the emotional impact of difficult life experiences. I’m committed to creating an inclusive and affirming therapeutic environments for all clients, including members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community, newcomers, and individuals with unique lived experiences.

How I Help

My approach is integrative and client-centred, combining multiple modalities (including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Trauma-Informed Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Strengths-Based), psychoeducation, and reflection to support client in achieving meaningful change. Each treatment plan is uniquely tailored to clients’ individual needs, based on the client’s goals.

Background

I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and currently hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts Degree (Psychology and Sociology), and a Social Services Worker Diploma. My professional background includes experience in working with families displaced due to family violence, individuals navigating the Criminal Justice System, survivors of family, partner, and sexual trauma (including sex trafficking), and individuals navigating the stressors and challenges within academic settings. I integrate foundational practices under the Human Rights Code, acknowledging how systemic oppression contributes and intersects with individual trauma. This experience along with lived experiences and a culturally sensitive approach has allowed me to support individuals navigating complex emotional experiences while fostering an environment prioritizing healing and personal growth.

What Makes Me Different

What sets me apart as a therapist is the combination of my extensive professional background, lived understanding of complex emotional experiences, and my deeply compassionate, relational approach to therapy. With 20+ years of combined academic and professional experience in mental health, advocacy, post-secondary environments, and social justice work, I bring both clinical knowledge and real-world understanding into the therapeutic space. My work has allowed me to support individuals navigating trauma, emotional dysregulation, burnout, grief, identity exploration, relationship challenges, academic stress, and experiences of gender-based violence with empathy, curiosity, and authenticity.

I recognize that healing does not happen in a “one size fits all” environment. My approach balances evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, strengths-based, and narrative approaches with warmth, humour, emotional regulation, and authenticity. I believe therapy should feel human, not clinical or performative.

Consultations virtuelles, téléphoniques et en personne

Pour qui j’aide

J’accompagne les enfants, les adolescents, les adultes et les familles confrontés à des traumatismes, à l’anxiété, à la dépression, au deuil, à l’épuisement professionnel, à la fatigue de compassion, aux difficultés de régulation émotionnelle, aux problèmes relationnels, à la question de l’identité et aux séquelles durables des violences sexistes, notamment les violences conjugales, sexuelles et familiales. J’accompagne des personnes de toutes origines culturelles et identités de genre qui peuvent éprouver des difficultés liées au stress, à une surcharge émotionnelle, à une faible estime de soi, aux transitions de vie, à la pression scolaire et aux répercussions émotionnelles d’expériences de vie difficiles. Je m’engage à créer un environnement thérapeutique inclusif et bienveillant pour tous mes clients, y compris les personnes 2SLGBTQI+, les nouveaux arrivants et les personnes ayant des expériences de vie uniques.

Comment j’aide

Mon approche est intégrative et axée sur le client. Elle combine différentes modalités thérapeutiques (dont la désensibilisation et le retraitement par les mouvements oculaires, la thérapie brève axée sur les solutions, la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale axée sur les traumatismes, la thérapie comportementale dialectique axée sur les traumatismes, la thérapie cognitive basée sur la pleine conscience, la thérapie narrative et l’approche axée sur les forces), la psychoéducation et la réflexion afin d’aider le client à réaliser un changement significatif. Chaque plan de traitement est personnalisé en fonction des besoins et des objectifs du client.

Formation

Je suis inscrite à l’Ordre des psychothérapeutes agréés de l’Ontario à titre de psychothérapeute agréée (qualifiante). Je suis actuellement titulaire d’une maîtrise en psychologie du counseling, d’un baccalauréat ès arts (psychologie et sociologie) et d’un diplôme de travailleuse sociale. Mon parcours professionnel comprend une expérience auprès de familles déplacées par la violence familiale, de personnes confrontées au système de justice pénale, de survivants de traumatismes familiaux, conjugaux et sexuels (y compris la traite des personnes à des fins d’exploitation sexuelle), et de personnes surmontant le stress et les difficultés du milieu universitaire. J’intègre les principes fondamentaux du Code des droits de la personne, reconnaissant comment l’oppression systémique contribue aux traumatismes individuels et s’y mêle. Cette expérience, combinée à mon vécu et à une approche sensible aux différences culturelles, me permet d’accompagner les personnes vivant des expériences émotionnelles complexes, tout en favorisant un environnement propice à la guérison et à l’épanouissement personnel.

Ce qui me distingue

Ce qui me distingue en tant que thérapeute, c’est la combinaison de mon expérience professionnelle approfondie, de ma compréhension vécue des expériences émotionnelles complexes et de mon approche thérapeutique profondément empathique et relationnelle. Forte de plus de 20 ans d’expérience combinée dans les domaines de la santé mentale, de la défense des droits, de l’enseignement supérieur et de la justice sociale, j’apporte à la fois des connaissances cliniques et une compréhension concrète du monde réel dans le cadre thérapeutique. Mon travail m’a permis d’accompagner avec empathie, curiosité et authenticité des personnes confrontées à des traumatismes, des troubles émotionnels, l’épuisement professionnel, le deuil, une quête identitaire, des difficultés relationnelles, le stress scolaire et des expériences de violence sexiste.

Je suis convaincue que la guérison ne se fait pas selon une approche standardisée. Mon approche combine des modalités thérapeutiques éprouvées, telles que les thérapies cognitivo-comportementales (TCC), la thérapie comportementale dialectique (TCD), EMDR, la pleine conscience, les approches axées sur les forces et les approches narratives, à la chaleur humaine, l’humour, la régulation émotionnelle et l’authenticité. Je crois que la thérapie doit être vécue comme une expérience humaine, pas comme un acte clinique ou artificiel.

Votre partenaire pour un cheminement vers la sécurité, la guérison, l’épanouissement et l’équilibre.

Registered Psychotherapist I Trauma, Women’s Mental Health, Relationship and Family Therapist in Mississauga.

**Accepting New Clients In-Person & Online Across Ontario**

Who I Work With

I work with children from ages 5, tweens, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating emotional, relational, behavioural, and life challenges. My work is grounded in the belief that therapy should meet you where you are while creating space to understand where you have been and where you want to go.

I support clients from diverse cultural, family, and faith backgrounds, including individuals who want their Christian faith or spirituality respectfully incorporated into therapy. I also work with clients navigating identity, relationships, immigration, family changes, adoption, grief, and other significant life transitions.

Areas I Help With

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual abuse, borderline personality disorder (BPD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), relationship OCD, ADHD, autism, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, medical and health anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, addiction-related concerns, self-harm, gambling concerns, school and work stress, burnout, performance anxiety, and life transitions.

I support children and young people who have experienced online bullying, online exploitation, or other difficult experiences in digital spaces, providing a safe and supportive environment to process what has happened and develop healthy ways of coping and moving forward.

I also work with relational concerns including family conflict, codependency, infidelity, trust, communication, sexual intimacy, and relationship difficulties. I support clients navigating grief and pet bereavement, as well as experiences related to postpartum adjustment and post-adoption.

My Approach to Therapy

I take an integrative, trauma-informed, person-centred approach to psychotherapy. Rather than believing that one therapeutic approach fits everyone, I draw from evidence-informed modalities based on your experiences, needs, values, goals, and stage of life.

My work may incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Schema Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Gottman Method, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Self-Compassion-Based Therapy, Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), Gestalt, Strength-Based Therapy, and faith-informed and culturally responsive approaches.

Education, Training & Professional Background

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), holding registration #12786. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in Canada, a Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Behaviour Analysis from Humber College, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education from the National Teachers Institute in Abuja, Nigeria. I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Benue State University, Makurdi, Nigeria.

My academic and professional background in psychology, counselling, education, and applied behaviour analysis informs my understanding of the relationship between thoughts, emotions, behaviours, relationships, and the environments in which we live.

What You Can Expect From Therapy With Me

I believe therapy can be more than simply sitting on a couch and talking about what is wrong. I approach therapy as a collaborative process of becoming more aware of yourself, understanding the experiences that have shaped you, and exploring what may need to change, heal, or grow.

My practice is informed by a holistic understanding of the person, including mind, body, relationships, culture, values, and, when meaningful to you, faith and spirituality.

I am naturally curious about the complexities of the human experience. I see difficult seasons not simply as something to survive, but as opportunities to develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and intentionality.

Therapy with me is not about forcing you into a predetermined path. Together, we explore your story, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop practical ways to move toward the life and relationships you want.

A Culturally Responsive & Faith-Informed Space

Your culture, identity, values, and beliefs are important parts of your story. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you can bring your whole self into the room without having to leave important parts of your identity at the door.

For clients who want it, Christian counselling can be integrated into therapy in a respectful and clinically appropriate way. Faith can be explored alongside psychological approaches rather than used as a replacement for evidence-informed mental health care.

I also recognize that experiences of family, culture, immigration, identity, belonging, and expectations can shape how we understand ourselves and our relationships. My goal is to meet you with curiosity and respect rather than assumptions.

My Philosophy of Practice

I believe that meaningful change begins with intention. A journey of a thousand miles starts with an intention before a step.

I often think about the human journey in seasons. Some seasons involve growth, some involve pruning, some involve uncertainty, and others bring transformation. Like the metamorphosis of a butterfly or the growth of a flower, change does not always happen visibly or all at once.

Therapy can provide a place to slow down, understand the season you are in, and consider what you want the next one to hold.

Languages

I provide therapy in English, Tiv, and Nigerian Pidgin English (Pidgin).

Book a Consultation With Kayla

If you are considering therapy and are unsure where to begin, I offer a 20-minute complimentary consultation to discuss what you are looking for, answer questions, and determine whether I may be a good fit for your needs.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward Safety, Healing, Growth, and Balance.
