Ildemaro Ponnambalam

Hi, I’m Ildemaro—a student therapist offering low-cost, culturally sensitive therapy for adults. I support clients navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, while also integrating person-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused techniques. I have personal and professional experience with neurodivergence and navigating complex, intersectional cultural identities. This gives me a deep appreciation for how identity, culture, and lived experience shape mental health. As a student, I offer pro bono (free) and low-cost therapy under the supervision of a registered psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience. My goal is to help you feel empowered, supported, and understood as you work through life’s challenges. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, and I strive to meet you with empathy, authenticity, and care. Let’s connect. Book a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.
