About

Hi there! I'm Mehek. I'm glad you're here! I specialize in burnout, stress, people-pleasing, self-esteem and relationship issues, intergenerational trauma for POC and immigrant communities. Using an emotionally focused, attachment-based, IFS, DBT, trauma informed and culturally sensitive approaches, I offer online therapy across Ontario (Mon–Fri) and Walk & Talk sessions in Oakville on Saturdays.

Biography

As a South Asian, first-generation immigrant therapist, I understand the weight of navigating two worlds- family expectations, cultural pressures, and the exhaustion of feeling like you must hold it all together. I work with adults from POC and immigrant communities who are experiencing burnout, stress, and relationship challenges rooted in intergenerational patterns. You may find yourself people-pleasing, struggling with boundaries, or feeling disconnected from who you truly are beyond what you were raised to be. If you've been searching for a therapist who genuinely understands your cultural context, you're in the right place. You deserve a space where your full story, culture, identity is held with care. Healing is possible, and you don't have to carry this alone. I offer a free 15-minute consultation, and I'd be honoured to walk alongside you.
