Their own words#ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS | Bilingual Services (English, Punjabi, Hindi)
Anchal is a dedicated and compassionate Provisional Psychologist with over four years of experience providing therapy and psychological assessment to children, youth, and adults. Her work focuses on supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and loss, life transitions, family and relationship challenges, complex trauma, PTSD, and personality-related concerns. She is committed to creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as they move toward meaningful and lasting change.
Anchal’s therapeutic approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. She also has advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), with specialized experience working with trauma, dissociation, and complex presentations. Whether working with children through play-based, developmentally informed methods or guiding adults through deeper emotional processing and skill development, Anchal empowers clients to build resilience, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of self.
In addition to therapy, Anchal is highly skilled in conducting comprehensive psychological assessments across Level A–C measures. Her assessment experience includes psychoeducational evaluations; cognitive testing (WISC, WAIS, WPPSI); behavioural and adaptive functioning assessments (BASC-3, ABAS-3, Vineland-3); ADHD evaluations (Conners-4, Brown EF/A, CAARS-2); Autism assessments (ADOS-2, ADI-R); and personality and trauma-related measures (PAI, MCMI-IV, CAPS-5, SCID-5). She takes a detailed and data-driven approach to ensure accurate diagnoses and practical, meaningful recommendations that support clients, families, and multidisciplinary teams.
Anchal holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and a Bachelor of Science from MacEwan University. She is a registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and an active member of the Psychologists Association of Alberta. Her professional background includes private practice, school-based behavioural support, community mental health, and supervised clinical training. Deeply committed to ongoing learning, Anchal continues to pursue advanced training to provide the highest standard of care. Above all, she strives to cultivate a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and compassion—supporting each client’s unique journey toward healing and growth.

“This session is designed for parents to meet independently with the therapist (without the child present) to discuss the child’s ongoing progress in therapy, any new concerns, and strategies to support their well-being at home or school.
Parent follow-up sessions provide a collaborative space to review treatment goals, share updates, and strengthen the connection between therapy and daily life. These meetings help ensure that parents feel informed, supported, and aligned with the therapeutic process.
Please let us know in advance if there are any changes to custody or decision-making arrangements, so we can ensure all legal and ethical considerations are met.
If you have any questions or would like guidance on booking a parent follow-up session, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re here to help.”2 optionsParent Intake SessionNew patient
“Thank you for considering therapy for your child.
As part of our intake process, therapists often begin with a parent-only session. This initial appointment is for parents to meet with the therapist without the child present to discuss the child’s needs, history, and goals for therapy. It provides an important opportunity to share background information, gain insight into your child’s emotional and psychological well-being, and collaborate on how best to support them both in and outside of sessions.
Please let us know about any parental custody or decision-making arrangements prior to booking, so we can ensure all legal and ethical considerations are met.
If you have any questions or would like more information before scheduling, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re here to help.”2 optionsYouth Intake SessionNew patient
“Thank you for considering therapy for your child. As part of our intake process, the initial session is primarily for the youth. Parents or caregivers attend a portion of this first appointment to share relevant background information, discuss concerns, and help establish goals for therapy, after which the therapist will meet individually with the child. This approach allows the therapist to better understand the child’s needs while also creating a space where the youth can begin building rapport and expressing themselves independently. Please inform us of any custody or decision-making arrangements prior to scheduling so that all legal and ethical requirements are met. If you have any questions or would like additional information before booking, please feel free to reach out — we’re happy to assist.”2 optionsWellness Workshops & ConsultationNew patient
