Hello, I'm Trishna!
As a therapist at Acorn & Anchor, I provide therapy to my clients using the foundational AATC Approach with GTI-m (gifted, talented, intense-minded) clients. I have many years of experience as a psychotherapist and bring my experience to Acorn & Anchor with authenticity in sessions with my clients. Using a trauma-informed lens, as an IFS-informed therapist, I support clients in moving into more authentic self-energy in day to day life. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, including those who are neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+.
I support my clients with nervous system regulation (finding calm in the body), calming the mind, and relational safety.
​
I love to use visual art, creativity, and body movement with clients who feel a creative or arts-based connection. I work with clients to process experiences of grief, mental health concerns, and life transitions that stir vulnerability and self-doubt. I am trained in grief and bereavement therapy, loss by suicide, dance and movement, and I am a certified sexuality educator and counsellor.
​
I invite curiosity, compassion, and the courage to be with what arises in sessions, and will follow your lead to ensure safety, trust, and an ongoing therapeutic relationship.​ I honour individual lived experience as vital to the healing process. My practice is not just informed by training, but by ongoing unlearning of societal beliefs, cultural humility, and a commitment to collective care.
