Salima Jadavji

I work with high-functioning professionals and caregivers who are outwardly capable but internally exhausted, anxious, or disconnected. Many have been managing chronic stress for years and are now feeling its impact on their mood, sleep, confidence, or relationships. My work is trauma-informed and collaborative, focused on restoring steadiness, self-trust, and sustainable change — not just short-term coping. Anxiety, burnout, and low mood rarely exist in isolation. They are often shaped by long-term stress, perfectionism, relational patterns, or past experiences that have taught the nervous system to stay on high alert. You do not need to identify with a specific trauma for trauma-informed therapy to be helpful. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, collaborative approach that emphasizes emotional safety, choice, and intentional pacing. Therapy with me is both practical and reflective — supporting symptom relief in the present while also helping you understand the deeper patterns influencing how you relate to yourself and others. I integrate evidence-based therapy with compassion-focused and mindfulness-informed practices. Our work focuses on understanding how long-term stress, perfectionism, and past experiences shape emotional responses and self-talk — and on developing tools that support steadiness, clarity, and resilience in daily life. I tend to work best with clients who value a thoughtful, respectful therapeutic relationship and are ready to look beyond symptom relief toward deeper patterns that shape how they relate to themselves and others. My approach is thoughtful, grounded, and intentional — focused on helping clients reconnect with themselves in ways that support long-term wellbeing, not just short-term coping.
