Our Practitioners
We're a team of dedicated therapists committed to helping you embrace resilience and self-appreciation. Our client-centered approach is rooted in mindfulness and compassion. We take the time to understand you and employ a non-judgmental, collaborative, and adaptable approach to empower you. Mindfulness means being present with your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions without judgment, while compassion guides us to respond with kindness and understanding to whatever arises.
Rami Nijjar, Registered Psychologist & Clinic Director
I am a people-person and love developing collaborative, therapeutic relationships with my clients. I have been interested in human development, relationships, and resilience for as far back as I can remember. In fact, my clinical training started in my teen years as a volunteer on the teen crisis line and then continued as I volunteered for women shelters and not-for-profits focused on adolescent health. I chose clinical psychology as a field of study because it allowed me to develop an integrated understanding of our psychology, biology, and social functioning.
