Hello, I'm Trishna!
As a therapist at Acorn & Anchor, I provide therapy to my clients using the foundational AATC Approach with GTI-m clients. I have many years of experience as a psychotherapist and bring my own personal experience to Acorn & Anchor with authenticity in sessions with my clients. With a trauma-informed lens, and as an IFS-informed therapist, I support clients in moving beyond "survival strategies" and into more authentic self-energy in day to day life. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, including those who are neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+, while focusing on each individual and their own personal life experiences. I hold space for my clients in both nervous system regulation and relational safety.
​
I am trained in Presence-Oriented Psychotherapy and Dance Movement Therapy as well, and love to use art and creativity with clients who feel a creative connection. I work with clients to process experiences of grief, mental health concerns, and life transitions that stir vulnerability and self-doubt, and am trained in grief and bereavement therapy, loss by suicide and I am a certified sexuality educator.
​
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.
