Erica is currently accepting clients Art or Conventional Talk Therapy

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and professional art therapist, I provide art and verbal psychotherapy for children, youth, adults, and older adults whose concerns may include self-worth, loss and grief, depression, stress, anxiety, spirituality, and transitions in life. I completed my graduate-level diploma in art therapy from the Toronto Art Therapy Institute, and have worked in private practice, rehabilitation, hospitals, long-term care homes, and community mental health organisations promising psychotherapy for concerns such as ADHD, depression, multiple chronic illnesses, dementia, eating disorders, and mood disorders. I am always looking for ways to expand my perspective and awareness, and believe that art therapy can help eliminate physical and even linguistic barriers when individuals are given space and support for self-expression, creative exploration, and sharing their stories.

I am open to working with any person at any age, though my clients are usually youth, adults, or older adults, individually or in group therapy. Our session together may integrate art therapy, depth, person-centred and strength-based theories, and mindfulness for a healing and changing process that feels right for you as an individual. I am a registered member of the Canadian Art Therapy Association and the Ontario Art Therapy Association. Outside of sessions, I look forward to long hikes being surrounded by nature, cuddling with my big dog, exploring my own creativity, and working on my spirituality.

MACP, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

English & Hindi

Becoming a therapist has been a lifelong dream of mine. Having family members and friends who have suffered through depression and suicidal ideation always motivated me to pursue this career because I did not want anyone to feel what my loved ones went through- feelings of helplessness, stigma, and loneliness.  My perspective stems from my ethnic background and where I grew up. I am a Chinese-Tibetan woman, a second-generation Indian and a first generation Canadian. My whole life, I have tried to adapt to a culture different from my own. Dealing with discrimination, racism, and prejudice can be disheartening and isolating when you consider that place your home.  It takes courage to reach out for help especially if that help involves taking an honest look at ourselves - our thoughts, our emotions, our lives. At Your Story, I will accompany you in this journey. If you seek support, want a deeper understanding of yourself, or want someone to talk to, I am here for you. I uphold a non-judgmental, empathic, and trauma-sensitive space within my practice. Therapy is a collaborative relationship where we can work together to assess your current challenges, identify treatment goals and build a pathway to improving your well-being. Being client-focused and goal-oriented, we will develop a therapeutic approach that best fits you. I am currently accepting clients in person and virtually. I would be happy to meet you for a free 15-min phone call consultation, and then you can decide if I am the right therapist for you.

Individual Therapy

Andy is currently NOT accepting clients for Individual, Therapy at this time. Please email info@yourstorycounselling.com to inquire about his waitlist.

Introduction

As a self-identified queer person of colour, Andy brings a unique perspective to supporting people living with challenges associated with cultural identity, sexual health, sexuality/gender identity, and relationship dynamics. Drawing on his extensive clinical experience as a HIV and primary care nurse, Andy works from a perspective of strengths-based resiliency in conjunction with an anti-oppression, trauma-informed, and sex positive lens to help clients navigate through the challenges they encounter as a result of their intersecting identities.

Style & Technique

I believe therapy should be grounded in a collaborative approach that is based on mutual respect, trust, and compassion for the self and others. My approach to therapy is to help clients develop an understanding and practical strategies to support their goals and manage the barriers that impede their activities of daily living. I recognize the importance of addressing each individual’s overall wellbeing as an interconnection between their physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual self, which is why I approach therapy in a holistic manner that acknowledges the unique voice and identities of each client. By offering a safe and non-judgemental space for client’s to explore their innermost thoughts, my goal is to guide clients through their journey of self-discovery as they work towards reclaiming their authentic self filled with love, compassion, and empathy.
