I am Priyal

In 1998, I embarked on a journey from India to Canada with my family, determined to make a difference. I secured myself a full scholarship for my undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, where I earned an Honours degree in a double major program of Psychology and Neuroscience. Subsequently, with a Master’s in Community Psychology, I dove into the mental health and non-profit sector, amassing a decade of diverse experience and honed my expertise in various non-profit roles. Today, I proudly serve as a Mental Health Clinical Counselor with peer-reviewed research publications and a track record of providing clinical supervision to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing social work and psychology programs. My extensive expertise spans trauma-informed cognitive behavioral treatment with a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma; family counselling; support therapy groups; professional mentor for youth; psychoeducational workshops on mental health and wellness; meditation classes; crisis intervention; conflict resolution; holistic care for stress-management; and finally life coaching to guide individuals through various life challenges and transitions to regain control of their lives. I can also proudly say that I can offer all this in various languages including English, Hindi, Urdu, and Malayalam. Let’s embark on this journey of self-empowerment and transformation together!
