Nisha Thakkar

Registered Psychotherapist 

Hi, I’m Nisha — a Registered Psychotherapist trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful, evidence-based approach for treating trauma and PTSD. 

I’m passionate about supporting teens, adults, couples, and families as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions.

Whether you’re struggling with the impact of childhood wounds, recent traumatic experiences, or ongoing emotional overwhelm, EMDR can help you process and heal in a safe, structured, and transformative way. My trauma-informed approach combines EMDR with other effective therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

As an immigrant myself, I deeply understand the layers of identity, belonging, and adjustment that can shape your emotional world. I offer a holistic and culturally sensitive space where your unique story is respected and honored.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in your innate capacity to heal and grow — with the right support. I meet you with compassion, authenticity, and without judgment. My personal motto: “Meet people where they are, not where you expect them to be.”

I offer therapy in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, both in-person (Cambridge and Brantford) and online across Ontario, so you can connect in the language and setting that feels most comfortable for you.

Outside the therapy room, I’m a proud mom and nature enthusiast. Gardening reminds me that healing, like growth, requires patience, care, and the right environment.

If you’re ready to explore trauma healing through EMDR or other supportive therapies, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Reach out today — your healing journey can start here.
