About Saakshi

Saakshi is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with close to a decade of clinical experience, having started her professional work in India and continuing her practice in Canada. She holds two master’s degrees in psychology and counselling, and brings a thoughtful, culturally attuned lens to therapy, shaped by her international experience and deep respect for individual identity and lived experience. She is known for her calm, grounded presence and her ability to create a space where people feel heard, supported, and understood. Her approach is integrative and trauma-informed. She draws from a range of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness-based practices, and psychodynamic approaches such as Adlerian therapy. Through extensive supervision and ongoing clinical training, she supports individuals and families with care, adaptability, and clarity. Her ideal clients are individuals (adults, children, teens, parents, and families) navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, or life transitions. Saakshi works especially well with clients who value a space that is responsive to diverse needs, emotionally attuned, and respectful of different ways of thinking, feeling, and being. She offers a therapeutic environment where clients are supported without judgment, and where growth can happen at a pace that feels safe and empowering.
