"We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails” - Dolly Parton
Hi! I’m Kushmeet!
As a first-generation Canadian, relationships—within families, cultures, and intimate partnerships—have profoundly shaped my understanding of mental health. Navigating differing expectations, values, and communication styles has given me deep insight into how relational patterns, unspoken rules, and stigma can contribute to conflict, disconnection, and emotional distress.
These lived experiences have strongly informed my work as a therapist and my passion for supporting individuals and couples who feel stuck in recurring relational cycles or struggling to feel understood and emotionally safe. I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science in Psychology from the University of Guelph and a Master of Arts - Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
My Approach To Therapy
My approach focuses on establishing a secure, accepting environment where you can be yourself. I believe in working collaboratively with clients, empowering them to take control of their journey while I provide guidance and support. I focus on practical, solution-oriented strategies to help manage stress, build confidence, and improve emotional well-being. With an emphasis on empathy and understanding, I work at your pace, encouraging growth and self-discovery in a comfortable and supportive environment. Together, we’ll navigate challenges and focus on your unique strengths to help you achieve meaningful change.
-
You are the expert on your own life. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where your experiences, emotions, and goals take center stage.
-
Change is possible, even in small steps. I help you identify practical solutions and build on what’s already working to create meaningful progress.
-
Being present in the moment can bring clarity and calm. I incorporate mindfulness techniques to help you manage stress, build self-awareness, and cultivate inner balance.
-
You have unique strengths and inner resources. I help you recognize and build on them, fostering resilience and confidence as you navigate life’s challenges.
What to Expect in Sessions
In our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, encouraging, and nonjudgmental environment where they can freely express themselves. I work with clients to customize each session to meet their specific needs, whether that be establishing meaningful goals, coping mechanisms, or thought and emotion exploration. Reflection, gentle challenges, and useful skills to deal with life's obstacles are all possible in sessions. Above all, I want to provide an environment where clients are confident, heard, and supported in their own growth.

How I Want You to Feel After a Session
After each session, I want my clients to leave feeling heard, supported, and relieved as if they can take a big breath and release some of the burden they've been bearing. Similar to the sensation of being with someone who genuinely understands and values you, I hope that sessions bring clarity and comfort!
