Gurpreet brings a diverse clinical background, having worked in interventional psychiatry programs through the University of Toronto, where she supported individuals experiencing treatment-resistant anxiety, depression, and OCD. She has extensive experience providing care to children, youth, and adults facing behavioral and mental health challenges. Her work spans various settings, including hospitals—within trauma and neurosurgery departments, inpatient mental health and addictions units—and outpatient environments offering both individual and group psychotherapy.
Her career began as an Instructor Therapist delivering Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) services to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, which laid the foundation for her client-centered and developmentally sensitive approach.
Gurpreet’s therapeutic framework centers on an autonomous, strengths-based view of individuals. She helps clients identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Drawing on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), she promotes healthier thinking, emotional regulation, and coping skills. Her goal is to empower individuals to face challenges with greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional well-being.
