About Vaishali Patel, Psychotherapist
Client-centered Pyschotherapy For Holisitic Wellness
Hi, I'm Vaishali. I Want To Help You Write
The Next Chapter In Your Life
I’m a whole-hearted Psychotherapist specializing in the Wellness Approach. This means I use psychotherapy to work with what is right, instead of what is wrong, to help you create and love the life you desire and deserve.
I specialize in holding safe, judgement-free spaces for people to embrace every facet (from culture to sexual orientation to life choices, stage of life .... whether you want children, want to be in a relationship) of their identities, design healthy relationships they desire, and discover life paths that feel aligned and fulfilling.
I have been counselling since 2003, working in the fields of Employee Assistance Programing and private practice, helping individuals find more balance and wellness in their lives. I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and hold certification with the Canadian Counseling and Psychotherapy Association. To delve deeper into heart based healing, I have also completed the Inner Engineering Program to enhance my knowledge and experience in achieving inner wellbeing through meditative practices.
I’m telling you all of this because I feel it’s important to make you feel SAFE and fully supported by a professional who can combine heart-based mindfulness and psychotherapy.
The truth is...
... even as a therapist, I found that it was difficult for me to keep an eye on my well being even though I was encouraging others to do so for themselves.
Externally, everything looked perfect, but on the inside, I was filled with conflict choosing between embracing my authentic self and fitting into the mainstream mold of success. I was trying to find peace with my bicultural identity, build a family culture that felt right, and discover what career path was truly fulfilling for me.
Through big and small life transitions...
...I began to integrate my professional knowledge with my intuition to create a beautiful, imperfect life that feels aligned and fulfilling. My life isn’t picture perfect by any means, but my days are filled with self-love and freer from the weight of inconsequential worry I once carried.
Through the ebbs and flow of my journey, I’ve built resilience and the ability to stop stressing over the small stuff and begin finding more joy in the everyday. And the bonus of this is that I didn’t have to sacrifice being a nurturer to do so.
Here are some of the ways that I work with women to help them design their best life.
Chart Your Path
If you are a younger woman I can work with you at the beginning of your vocational and personal path to uncover your genuine values, priorities, and desires.
My goal when working with you is to help you design your own personalized roadmap that will incorporate your career, relationship and cultural and lifestyle identity.
Recalibrate Your Path
I help women create and implement action-driven change in their lives. This is for you if you’ve already built a career/ relationship that “looks good” on the outside, but don’t feel aligned or fulfilled.
From career to relationship changes, we work together to help you create new roadmaps for your life that feel authentic and joyous.
I specialize in creating a safe space for people to cultivate their identities and reconstruct their relationships; on terms that cultivate mutual care, respect, and happiness for individuals and couples.
Bicultural Identity
Finding the balance in connecting with the different cultures you identify with can be distressing. It is common to feel inner conflict and fear of harming essential relationships in your life.
Together, we can help you accept and value each unique facet of your cultural identity and communicate your needs with loved ones to create a more peaceful, satisfying life.
Relationship Evolution
In mainstream society, the expectation is to be in a one size fits all relationship. However, one of the only things constant in our relationships is change, and one size won’t continue to fit all.
You may find more fulfillment in prosperous singlehood, healthy monogamous or non-monogamous relationships, peaceful, supportive separation and divorce, healthy co-parenting and/or co-living, and more.
