Charmin Charania

A Guiding Hand on Your Healing Journey

​

Beginning therapy can be a complex and bewildering process, but Charmin aims to make it as straightforward and seamless as possible for you. Charmin would love to walk alongside you as you embark on your path of healing and personal growth, working towards becoming a better version of yourself. Your presence here speaks volumes about your strength and resilience.

 

A Passion for Mental Wellness

​

Charmin's passion for mental wellness ignited early in life and is rooted in values of care, authenticity, humility, and the drive for change. Growing up in a South Asian and Islamic community, Charmin witnessed the stigma around mental health, inspiring a commitment to breaking the silence, promoting awareness, and normalizing discussions about seeking help. Throughout her journey, Charmin has had the privilege of working with people from diverse backgrounds to effect meaningful change. With over 10 years of professional experience in clinical and community settings, Charmin has engaged in mental health advocacy in employment and education, implemented behavioural therapies, provided parent coaching, and led group sessions for individuals facing challenges. This dedication led Charmin to complete a Master's in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, a lifelong aspiration fulfilled during the unique circumstances of the pandemic.

​

Compassionate, Person-Centered Care

​

Charmin's approach to care centers around person-centred therapy, placing faith in your potential for growth, self-discovery, and healing. As a person of colour and a South Asian woman, Charmin brings a culturally responsive and trauma-informed perspective, allowing her to understand the intricacies of identity and the contexts of lived experiences. The focus is on creating a therapeutic space that is collaborative, transparent, non-judgmental, and above all, safe for you to explore your inner world. In this space, you are accepted, and your privacy is respected. You are the guide in these sessions, setting the pace that suits your comfort level.
