Reviews
Words from real clients.
If I could give more stars, I would. I have been working with Darshana for a few years now, and I am glad she is continuing her journey as a therapist, as she is amazing to say the least. There have been times where I feel that I don't really need therapy, but I'm glad about all the times I have spoken with her about anything in my life, whether it's work related, or personal. She is super professional and unbiased. One thing I really like most about her is that she listens very well, and responds in a very detailed manner as well which makes utmost sense. She is confident every time she speaks, and always brings great energy to every session. She has helped me so much in my life with different aspects. Thank you for being there to help whenever I have needed you. You're the best. Let's keep continuing this journey we all refer to as life.

Darshana is a compassionate, skilled and insightful therapist. Her ability to create a safe and supportive space allows her clients to feel truly heard and understood. Her expertise and empathy has a great impact on fostering meaningful growth in those she works with.
Nevesha Persad-Maharaj
Darshana is a consummate professional and I highly recommend her counselling services if you're seeking mental health support. She demonstrates patience, understanding, and knows how to ask pointed questions during sessions. Her practice approach carefully unpacks how emotions are connected to one's upbringing and experiences. I greatly appreciate her genuine desire to offer a listening ear and meaningful guidance.

Darshana does a great job in creating a safe space to talk. She is empathetic, compassionate and non judgemental in her approach. Would highly recommend!
Priyanka Gupta
Darshana is a kind, compassionate, and very intelligent person. She's open minded and easy to talk to. If you're looking for a therapist, I definitely recommend you book with Darshana.

Our Therapy Space

What therapy helps with
01 
Overcoming Depression
Feeling stuck in sadness, low energy, or losing interest in things you used to enjoy. Therapy offers tools to help you manage these feelings and reconnect.
Read more 02 Managing Anxiety
Constant worry, fear, or a sense of dread can make everyday life feel harder than it needs to be. Therapy helps you understand the patterns and build steadier ground.
Read more 03 Stress Management Techniques
Ongoing stress can take a toll on your mind and body. Therapy teaches practical ways to handle stress and feel more in control.
Read more 04 Overcome Past Trauma
Past trauma can cast a long shadow over the present. Therapy provides a space to process what happened and begin to heal.
Read more 05 Build Your Self-Esteem
Struggling with self-confidence can affect every part of life. Therapy helps you build a stronger sense of self and feel better about who you are.
Read more 06 Plan Life Transitions
Big changes — a new job, a move, settling — can be tough to handle alone. Therapy helps you adjust and approach the shift with confidence.
Read more 07 Strengthen Your Relationship
Disconnection, repeated arguments, or feeling unheard can create distance between partners. Couples therapy helps you rebuild communication, trust, and closeness.
Read more 08 Navigate Family Challenges Together
Every family faces moments of tension, change, or disconnection. Therapy helps each member feel heard and supported while learning healthier ways to relate and resolve conflict.

Read full bioHow it works
How we work: a four-step cycle from first call to closing session.
Therapy isn't linear, but the shape of how we work together is predictable. Here's what the first few months tend to look like.
01 — New moon
Share your story during a consultation call.
A short call to hear what's bringing you in. No paperwork, no commitment.
02 — First quarter
Intake session
A deeper look at what's been going on — relationships, history, goals. We set a direction.
03 — Full moon
Ongoing sessions
The heart of the work. Pacing varies — weekly for some, biweekly for others. We shape it around what's working.
04 — Waning
Integration & close
As things steady, sessions space out. Endings are planned, not ghosted.
Is therapy covered by OHIP?
Psychotherapy isn't covered by OHIP, but most extended health plans through employers cover therapy services. Reduced-rate spots are also available — just ask.
How much does a session cost?
Individual sessions in Toronto typically range from $160–$175 per 50 minutes. Reduced-rate spots exist for clients who need them; no documentation required.
In-person or online?
Both. In-person at 5399 Eglinton Ave W, Etobicoke. Virtual anywhere in Ontario via PHIPA-compliant video.
What makes this different from other practices?
This isn't one-size-fits-all therapy — it understands the nuance of your family, identity, and expectations, and helps you navigate anxiety, boundaries, and identity within your culture.
Ready when you are
Start with a free consultation. No paperwork, no commitment.
Most people find the next step gets clearer just by saying it out loud once. If therapy ends up being the right fit, we'll keep going. If not, you'll leave the call with a clearer sense of what might actually help.
