Registered Psychotherapist

Location: Missisauga

Ankita is a Registered Psychotherapist who holds a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from McGill University. Her clinical training and therapeutic work across university and private practice settings have included supporting adults experiencing a wide range of emotional, relational, academic, and life challenges.

She works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship difficulties, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and academic or work-related stress. Many of the individuals she supports are thoughtful, capable people who struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, self-criticism, uncertainty, or the pressure of balancing competing expectations, identities, relationships and responsibilities.

Ankita is especially drawn to supporting young adults navigating the complexities of early adulthood — including identity, relationships, career uncertainty, academic pressures, and changing family or cultural expectations. Alongside this work, she also has an interest in supporting individuals navigating chronic illness, particularly Diabetes, and its emotional impact, informed by both professional training and lived experience.

Her therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Grounded primarily in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), she integrates Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness, depending on each client’s goals and needs.

Ankita strives to create a culturally sensitive space that balances support with appropriate challenge. She works alongside clients to better understand the patterns keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change that feels sustainable and aligned with what matters most to them.
