Together, we can work towards understanding your experiences and building a path forward that feels right for you.
Meet Sona Dhaliwal
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My experience spans both multidisciplinary clinics and high-acuity environments such as police services, psychiatric emergency departments, and addiction treatment centres with a focus on supporting first responders, public safety personnel (PSP), frontline healthcare professionals, and their families. Through diverse clinical roles, I've developed a deep understanding of the intersection between mental health, trauma, balancing personal and professional life, and public safety. I am committed to creating safe client-centered spaces that foster resilience and meaningful change.
