Hi there! My name is Josh, and I am a Registered Social Worker. Beyond my role as a social worker, I am also a son of South Indian immigrant parents and am continuously growing in this role of finding space to honour my culture in our Western society. Through this, I have come to value community, vulnerability, respect, and authenticity, and strive to be a forever learner to encourage both personal and professional growth. I provide both in-person and virtual therapy and am based in Burlington. Whether we meet online or in person, I promise to create a non-judgemental and safe environment where we meet, reflect, unpack, and move forward together. I do not believe there is a “one size fits all” method and take the first few sessions to get to know you and tailor my approach to fit your needs.

I hold strong value in person-centred approaches to therapy where I believe there needs to be tailored approaches to each individual person. I often utilize narrative therapy practices to work with you in identifying your values and preferred dynamics and work to get to know what is most important to you, and lean into my education and your self-knowledge to get us there.
