Sandeep Kaur Marwaha
Occupational Therapist, Psychotherapist
Born and raised in Tkaronto (now known as Toronto) as a daughter of Punjabi Sikh immigrants and currently raising a multi-ethnic family, my life crosses multiple intersections of identity. I bring this awareness, along with my lived experiences with depression, anxiety, and chronic illness, into my work. I employ culturally-sensitive, anti-oppressive, and trauma-aware approaches to create an atmosphere of safety and collaboration.
I support folks from immigrant and global majority backgrounds navigate relationships, enhance their emotional health, and connect to their internal wisdom to thrive in today's hectic world. I sprinkle different approaches into my practice, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. One thing I haven't learned is to fix my face, so sessions might also include a dash of humour, an F-bomb or two, and definitely my expressive face!
For me, therapy is about building relationship and partnership. I view my role as that of a teammate: we both bring our experiences and knowledge into the space and work together towards a common goal. Sometimes I will teach, sometimes I will learn, sometimes I will push you, and through it all, I will always be your cheerleader.
When not working, you might catch me napping, in a yoga or pilates class, reading, daydreaming about a beach in Barbados, drinking coffee, trying to frantically corral my two school-age kids, or sitting on the couch snacking on popcorn with my favourite person in the world, my husband.
