Leela Krishnan, HBSc
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Mental health is crucial and making the choice to come to therapy is indicative of change and a willingness to get better. My goal as your therapist is to create a safe space for you to do just that. I primarily work through a cognitive-behavioural lens to allow you to confront and challenge your thoughts, recognize your strengths and maximize your potential in order to live a more functional and fulfilling lifestyle. Other modalities I use include ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), Client-Centered Therapy, DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and Solution Focused Therapy.
I have also had the privilege of growing up in a multicultural space and will utilize a culturally sensitive approach in understanding your story and creating a strong therapeutic alliance. I currently work with a wide range of individuals with presenting concerns including, but not limited to, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, chronic pain, depression, gender dysphoria, grief and loss, oppositional defiant disorder, relational conflicts, self-esteem issues, stress, and trauma. My specialties include anger management, emotion regulation, and obsessive compulsive disorder.
