Nisha Thakkar

Registered Psychotherapist 

Hi, I’m Nisha — a dedicated Registered Psychotherapist passionate about supporting teens, adults, couples and familes through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I offer a warm, client-centered approach that integrates evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I’m also currently training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to enhance my trauma-informed work.

My approach is holistic, culturally sensitive, and grounded in compassion. As an immigrant myself, I understand the unique challenges of adjusting to a new culture and navigating identity and belonging. This lived experience informs the care and empathy I bring into every session.

At the core of my work is the belief that every person has the inner strength to heal and grow when given the right support. I value authenticity, respect, and connection in the therapeutic relationship. My personal motto is, “Meet people where they are, not where you expect them to be.” I strive to create a space where clients feel truly seen and supported — where their cultural identities, life stories, and emotional experiences are honored with care.

I offer both in-person sessions in Cambridge and Brantford as well as  secure online therapy across Ontario and sessions in English, Hindi, and Gujarati — making it easier to connect in the language and style that feels most natural to you.

Outside of therapy, I’m a proud mom who finds joy in spending quality time with my family. Gardening is my go-to for grounding — a reminder that growth, like healing, takes time, patience, and the right environment.

Let’s work together to create a safe and empowering space for your healing journey. Reach out today — I’d be honored to support you.
