Rini Sharma, Registered Psychotherapist

(She/Her Pronouns)

Are you feeling uncertain, stuck, and overwhelmed at times? You’re in the right spot! I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with 8 years’ experience. I work with clients, using a client-centered, strengths-based approach, to help them uncover and rediscover their hidden resiliency, talents, and strength, to help support their mental health journeys.

I was born in India, and my immigration journey to Canada has shaped my life in many ways. My experiences inform my work and I enjoy helping clients with racial and immigration trauma process their journeys and experiences from a space of deep empathy and understanding.

I am passionate about helping people get unstuck. I use a variety of modalities in my work, including cognitive behavioural theory (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma informed practices.

I often work with people with addictions, mental health and concurrent disorders. I am a firm believer in client-centered approach, acceptance and commitment therapy and strength-based collaboration.

I specialize in:

• Substance Abuse Addiction
• Gaming and Internet Addiction
• Gambling Addiction
• Overspending Addiction
• Sexual Addiction
• Racialized Identity
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Self-esteem
• Trauma
• Relationship issues

Counselling can be provided in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.

I have had the privilege of working and developing meaningful connections with many diverse communities in government, not-for-profit organizations, newcomer and women’s organizations which has given an empathetic shape to my work of practice. My professional and personal practice is operationalized through anti-oppression, anti-racism and an equity seeking lens.

I offer a complimentary 15-20 minute telephone/video consultation to answer any questions you might have about the process and to see if we might be a good fit together. Please contact me at info@mindsoul.ca or by phone at 416-303-9165.

At present, due to Covid-19, my sessions are offered via phone or video.

I have a limited amount of sliding scale spaces available and my standard rate is $125 per session. I look forward to hearing from you.
