Ba, MaCP, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I’m Vaveena, a Sri Lankan-born Tamil Canadian Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with 2 years of experience supporting children, youth, and adults. As an immigrant myself, I understand how culture, family expectations, and systemic barriers can shape mental health and I offer therapy that is culturally responsive, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed. I use an integrative approach grounded in CBT, ACT, DBT, person-centred therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques, tailored to your goals and pace. I have a special interest in anxiety, stress/burnout, ADHD, relationships, identity, acculturation, and intergenerational trauma. My intention is to provide a supportive space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered. As a classically trained dancer, I have witnessed the healing power of dance, music, and creative expression on mental health. I’m passionate about incorporating mindfulness techniques and creative expression into therapy to unite the mind and body for holistic healing. I am continually inspired by the resilience of the human spirit, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing and growth.
