RESHMA IS CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. I completed my Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Psychology, at the University of Alberta. Subsequently, I graduated from City University of Seattle with a Master of Counselling degree. I am a Registered Psychologist in good standing with the College of Alberta Psychologists (#5531). I have been working in the mental health field for the past 10 years, providing services to children, adolescents, adults, families, and the elderly. I am passionate about supporting individuals from all walks of life, and my broad professional experience includes work with young offenders, inmates, hospitalized patients, and individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have also been fortunate enough to have volunteered as a crisis line worker at Distress Centre Calgary for over two years.

My therapeutic style is a mix of several evidence-based treatment approaches, and I adjust to meet each client’s unique needs. I draw upon aspects of Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, Sandplay, Theraplay, Mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I value lifelong learning, and I regularly attend workshops and specialized training to expand my knowledge in these treatment approaches.

My top areas of specialty include: • Anxiety • Parent-child attachment • Divorce/Separation • Trauma • Depression • Self-esteem and shame resiliency • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder • Returning to work

(I provide counselling services for a range of other issues as well)

One of my favorite quotes is: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.”
