The Story Behind ARTMA
I'm Anand, a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and the founder of ARTMA, my private practice located in Toronto. My private practice is rooted in the belief that effective therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Every person is unique – and so is their path to healing. The name ARTMA reflects my integrative and personalized approach to psychotherapy. It’s inspired by the Sanskrit word “Atma”, meaning inner Self – the deepest, most authentic part of who we are. My work is guided by the understanding that true, lasting change begins with reconnecting to that Self. In therapy, I work from my training in evidence-based approaches while always centering your individual needs, strengths, and life experiences. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, or personal growth, we will work collaboratively to find what resonates and works best for you. There is both art and science in the healing process. And together, we will co-create a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered – a space where transformation can begin.
