Sonya Gandhi is a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and brings over 25 years of experience to her practice. She provides therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families, helping clients navigate a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, and major life transitions.

Sonya has extensive experience supporting couples and families during times of crisis, particularly those dealing with conflict, separation, or divorce. She offers parent coaching to help enhance parenting strategies, improve family dynamics, and build resilience. Sonya specializes in working with individuals in toxic relationships, including those experiencing narcissistic abuse, and provides compassionate guidance to help clients regain a sense of strength, self-worth, and autonomy.

Sonya draws on several different therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, strengths-based practice, and narrative therapy. By thoughtfully combining these methods, she tailors her sessions to meet the unique needs of each client, guiding them toward meaningful change, emotional healing, and personal growth.

Outside of therapy, Sonya’s creativity shines through her love for design, often shifting furniture and redecorating her home as a fun and relaxing activity. During the pandemic, she channeled her creative energy into painting and transforming her living space. A fun fact about Sonya—she has a sweet tooth and loves chocolate!

Sonya’s warmth, experience, and creative spirit help her clients feel supported and empowered as they work toward healing, growth, and a renewed sense of self.

What’s the Difference Between Talking to a Friend and Talking to a Therapist?

When life gets difficult many of us instinctively turn to a trusted friend or family member for support. It's comforting to have someone who knows us, cares about us, and can lend an ear when we need to vent. And often that is enough, we don’t need to talk to anyone else. But sometimes, we need more support than our friend is able to provide, and we need someone with additional training and experience to help us cope with the difficulties we are facing. That’s when you may want to talk to a therapist.

How long do I need to stay in therapy?

If you’ve ever considered starting therapy or are currently in treatment, you might wonder: How long do I need to stay in therapy? This question is common and valid, as people often have personal, financial, and logistical factors to consider. There isn’t a simple answer; everyone is different, and while some people may stay in therapy long term, others may only need a few sessions; therapy is as unique as the individuals who seek it. 

How can I get the most out of therapy?

Therapy is a deeply personal journey and a powerful tool for self-improvement, healing, and growth. With countless therapeutic approaches available—ranging from the structured techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to the deep exploration of psychodynamic therapy—sessions can vary significantly.
