Puja Devanand Rao

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Masters in Counseling Psychology

Hello! I graduated with distinction from Yorkville University with a Masters in Counseling Psychology. Before qualifying as a therapist, I spent many years in the business world, where I experienced the joys and stressors of working in a fast-paced environment. In a massive leap of faith, I pursued my passion and trained as a therapist.

I love meeting people, and I marvel at our resilience and how we overcome the unbelievable challenges we face. I am incredibly passionate about my clients and love the work I do every day.

Puja offers assistance to clients struggling with:

Anxiety, panic attacks, stress management, burnout, trauma, relationship challenges, cultural challenges (within and outside the family), as well as struggles and fears associated with sexual intimacy.

What I offer:

I offer cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (CFT), and mindfulness-based therapy.

Let’s work together:

“My approach is inclusive with a strong multicultural and anti-oppressive lens. I will take the time to listen and get to know the real you. You will be met with compassion and deep respect.

Interweaving science and attachment theory with a trauma lens while leveraging individual strengths, I strive to empower you to become your most resilient self. “
