The Story Behind ARTMA
Hi, my name is Anand and I'd like to welcome you to my private practice. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, a Professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and a Professional Art Therapist with the Canadian Art Therapy Association. ARTMA is my brand that symbolizes the essence of how I practice. I believe there is no one way or no one approach to therapy. We are so much more. They key to cultivating true healing and sustainable change, resides in the empowerment through the realization that we each hold the wisdom to be our authentic self. Within a therapeutic relationship and with therapeutic skill, together we will find what works best for you. There is an art and science to getting there!
What I offer
Individual Psychotherapy Sessions, Sessions with a mix of Psychotherapy, Creativity and Mindfulness, Art Therapy Focused Sessions, Group Workshops, Corporate Workshops, Team Building Workshops and Self-Care Workshops. First step, a 15-minute phone consultation.
Science
My awareness and understanding of the science in the elements of therapy, help create a fertile ground for effective and lasting change. For example, this can include on a neurobiological level, creation of new neural pathways through mindfulness, therapeutic presence and relationship, creativity and more.
Current Scope of Practice
Depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, loss, uncertainty, cancer, life transitions, understanding emotions, feeling stuck, triggers, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and confidence, identity, self-care and other typical stressors in life.
My Core Values
The pillars of my practice are being person-centered, collaborative and anti-oppressive. Throughout our journey together, I'm committed to embodying my core values while being an advocate for you.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Professional Art Therapist, BSc
I am an advocate for my clients and genuinely passionate about being a therapist. I take a trauma informed approach and my pillars of practice are grounded in being person-centered, collaborative and anti-oppressive. I value the aspect of presence and relationship. My practice is diverse and draws from narrative therapy, strength and solutions based, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), emotion focused, somatic, mindfulness and compassion. I also bring the wisdom from clients with whom I have had the privilege to work with. My warm and intuitive presence alongside my clients, empowers them to lead the way and ultimately find what works best and resonates with their authentic self. I invite a gentle curiosity and open ended inquiry that welcomes a shift from possibility and hope to actuality.
