Bio At A Glance:

Sadhna is a Registered Social Worker offering online trauma therapy across Ontario. She provides compassionate, culturally responsive support for teens and adults navigating complex trauma, childhood trauma, PTSD, sexual trauma, and gender-based violence. Sadhna works from an intersectional, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed lens, with a special focus on supporting BIPOC individuals and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Welcome! I’m Sadhna, an online trauma therapist who deeply believes in your innate ability to heal, grow, and thrive.

In our work together, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be standing in the way of you becoming the best version of yourself. I understand that healing from trauma is not a one-size-fits-all process, and that’s why I take an integrative, holistic approach to therapy. I believe that true growth begins with cultivating deep self-awareness, and I’m here to help you gain insight into your inner world so you can make empowered choices that align with your values and goals.

I believe that every part of your life, whether it’s your physical health, mental health, personal relationships, lived experiences, spirituality, culture, gender, or religion, is interconnected. Each of these facets plays a role in your overall wellness, and my work is to help you find balance and alignment among them. I’m committed to being client-led, trauma-informed, and always meeting you where you are on your unique journey.

Therapy is most effective when we approach it as a collaborative process, and having an open heart and mind allows us to dive deeper into understanding yourself and creating lasting change.

I work from an intersectional, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and anti-colonial lens, and I’m dedicated to empowering individuals from all backgrounds. Whether you are navigating life transitions, struggling with mental health challenges, or looking to explore your identity, I will walk alongside you with warmth, authenticity, and respect. Together, we’ll work toward healing and growth, empowering you to lead a more fulfilled and authentic life.

Sadhna's Experience

Sadhna holds a Master of Social Work, specializing in Mental Health and Health from the University of Toronto. She is a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), and British Columbia College of Social Workers (BCCSW). With over 7 years of experience working within the mental health field, she has had the opportunity to engage in grassroots work, both within her community and internationally. This includes working at health clinics, hospitals, facilitating community group therapy work, while providing culturally competent and culturally sensitive care. This work has led her to develop a special interest in working in women’s health, specifically working with women who have experienced sexual trauma and gender-based violence.
