Background

About Pardeep Thandi

I have extensive experience working with diverse population. Being from an immigrant South Asian family myself, I have a lot of experience working with individuals and families dealing with cultural issues, depression, grief, relationship problems and anxiety. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals who are struggling with addiction and substance use as well. I recognize the stigma between immigrant families and mental health, and I hope to be a resource for those who are wanting to begin their healing journey. My experience working with vulnerable population has taught me about the importance of asking for help when you need it. My goal is to work alongside my clients to support them in finding their best self and empower them to build the skills they need to fulfill their individual success story. As a Registered Clinical Counselor, I’m deeply committed to being there when my client need me the most—helping client explore, heal, and move forward into a happy and healthy mindset. I value a collaborative and holistic approach to therapy, where the client and I work together to find solutions to their concerns. Having been influenced by therapists, such as Viktor Frankl and Alfred Adler, I believe that every person has the ability to choose when and how they want to make a change in their life, as they have the power to control their behaviour. This can be a difficult concept for many; however, I want to provide individuals with the skills and resources that can help to empower them to make a positive change in their life. Increasing self-awareness, finding meaning in life, assisting in finding solutions to problems and teaching coping and problem solving strategies are core goals that I aim to reach with my clients. Since every individual is different, their goals are tailored towards each individual and their needs. Using techniques such as mindfulness, can help target issues relating to emotional dysregulation and relationship issues. I value collaboration and want to be a part of the support system that helps individuals to reach their untapped potential. I provide services in English, Punjabi, and Hindi. If you or someone you know is struggling with life challenges, mental health concerns, physical and behavioral issues, please feel free to refer them to me for a consultation or therapy.
