Karthika Murthy
Karthika is currently NOT accepting new clients.
Works with children, adolescents & adults.
Change requires action, which is a tough step, to begin with. I get excited when I have the opportunity to join the journey and help facilitate change in each of my client's lives - inspiring and equipping them with tools for a better future.
In life, we all encounter many challenges and sometimes it becomes easier to overcome those by having someone alongside to help us navigate through those moments. I believe in providing my clients with a nurturing environment where they feel accepted and not judged; where they can express themselves freely to achieve their goals in therapy. It's like you're driving the car and I, your therapist act like a GPS, sitting beside you helping you navigate through the way to reach your destination.

Together we will try to understand what in your life is working well for you and what is not. Together, we will pause, assess, and in some cases help find a pivot to make a positive change to lead a better life. Using various therapeutic tools and strategies, we will work on what you need to get your life and health back on track and to help you feel empowered when faced with life pressures and challenges in the future.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy - this is why I like to tailor my sessions according to your needs. I use a number of modalities including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Approach, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Approaches, Narrative Based Techniques, Trauma Informed Care approaches, Solution Focused Therapy, and incorporate Theraplay and other Play Therapy techniques with my younger (and sometimes not as young smiley) clients.
After completing my Masters degree in clinical psychology from India, I worked as a school counselor. As part of my internship, I had the unique experience of working in child and adolescent psychiatry which is where I formed my passion for clients of all age groups. Eight Years ago I made the big move from India to Calgary and a few years ago decided to pursue my second Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology.
I look forward to meeting you soon to begin our journey - together!
