Vaveena Somaskantharajah, M.ACP.

Provider information

Description

I am a Sri Lankan-born, Tamil Canadian dedicated to supporting immigrant communities in overcoming cycles of trauma and pain. I prioritize empathy, non-judgment, and fostering genuine therapeutic alliances with my clients.

Over the past decade, and have been privileged to work and volunteer in social services and mental health, collaborating with non-profits to assist individuals facing various challenges. Being an immigrant myself, I strongly advocate for therapy that is culturally responsive and anti-oppressive.

Summary

The Growth & Wellness Therapy Centre was launched in 2019 with the idea of bringing on a group of therapists to create a broader supportive community for both clients and therapists focused on two major components: continued personal growth, and maintenance of individual and family wellness. We thank all our clients and colleagues for helping us to win in 2021 as the Gold Winner in Marriage, Family & Individual Counselling with the Toronto Star Reader’s Choice Awards!

We’re a group of professionals who are passionate about supporting growth, reflection and insight in our work with clients.
