Registered Psychotherapist

Hi, I’m Anand, a Registered Psychotherapist and the founder of ARTMA – The Art & Science Of Therapy located in Toronto, ON.

I left a successful career in geophysics to follow my passion for supporting others on their healing journey. Along the way, I discovered the profound therapeutic power of creativity, mindfulness, and self-compassion—foundations that now shape my approach to therapy.

I am also a Registered Canadian Art Therapist (RCAT) and my initial graduate training was at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute (TATI). Since then I have deepened and broaden through continuous in-depth training in evidence based approaches. I work primarily from an IFS and EMDR or “parts work” and integrate other approaches I’m trained in such as Mindful Self Compassion, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), DBT, Somatic/Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Art Therapy. I work in addressing the mind, body, and emotions—to help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build the sustainable change they would like in their life.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals across Canada through my work with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC), where I created a national psychotherapy program. Along with my private practice, I’m also committed to reducing barriers and keep a certain number of spots to accept clients through Hard Feelings in Toronto at a reduced session rate. I am also a graduate level teacher, clinical supervisor, board director and artist.

Internal Family Systems (IFS), is an approach I am deeply passionate with and I currently serve as a Program Assistant (PA) with IFS Trainings with IFSI. I am currently working towards becoming a Certified IFS Therapist in 2026. It is my hope in becoming an IFS Trainer one day!

I specialize in working with:

• Trauma & Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
• Anxiety, Depression, Anger 
• Relationship Issues & Life Transitions
• Grief, Loss, Identity & Inner Conflict
• Emotional Awareness & Feeling Stuck

At the heart of my practice is a deep respect for your lived experience. I believe therapy is a co-created space where healing happens through connection, curiosity, and compassion.
