Sarmeet Multani (she/her)
Registered Psychotherapist, CRPO #12684
Master's degree in Counselling Psychology
Hello, I'm Sarmeet.
My name is Sarmeet Multani (she/her), and I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology. I believe that reaching out for support takes courage, and I recognize how overwhelming it can feel to navigate life's challenges while trying to balance the many responsibilities and expectations placed on us.
As a second-generation Canadian and someone who has navigated the experiences of growing up between Eastern and Western cultures, I understand the complexities that can come with bicultural identity, family expectations, relationships, and finding a sense of belonging. I am particularly passionate about creating greater awareness of mental health within South Asian communities and challenging the stigma that can sometimes make seeking support difficult.
My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and client-centred. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and exploring the challenges you may be facing. I believe that each individual is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Rather than fitting you into a particular therapeutic framework, I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches and tailor our work together to your individual needs, strengths, and goals.
Read more about how I work
I support individuals navigating stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, trauma, and difficulties with emotional regulation. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by work, navigating dating or relationships, struggling with boundaries, or trying to make sense of your emotions and experiences, therapy can provide an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and develop a greater understanding of your needs.
Together, we can work towards building self-awareness, recognizing emotional patterns, strengthening self-esteem, and identifying boundaries that support your well-being. We can also explore practical coping strategies, develop problem-solving skills, and strengthen communication to help you navigate difficult situations and relationships with greater confidence. My hope is to help you recognize the barriers, fears, and beliefs that may be holding you back while supporting you in taking meaningful steps towards the life you want to create.
I believe that individuals already hold many of the strengths and resources needed to navigate life's challenges. Sometimes, we simply need a supportive space to explore those strengths, gain a different perspective, and reconnect with ourselves. My role as your therapist is not to tell you what decisions to make, but to walk alongside you, offer guidance and support, and empower you to discover your own answers.
Healing and personal growth are not always linear, and you do not have to navigate the journey alone. Whether you are looking to better understand yourself, work through past experiences, improve your relationships, or simply find a greater sense of balance, I would be honoured to support you along the way.
I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. This is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore whether we would be a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your journey!

Your story. Your journey. A bridge towards healing.
Every healing journey begins somewhere, and sometimes, finding the path forward can feel overwhelming. At A Bridge Towards Healing, we believe your story deserves to be heard, understood, and valued. Life can bring unexpected challenges, difficult transitions, and moments when we feel disconnected from ourselves and the people around us. You don't have to navigate these experiences alone.
Our goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and discover the tools and strengths to move forward. Think of us as a bridge between where you are today and where you hope to be. Your journey is uniquely yours, and we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Inclusivity & belonging
We recognize that not everyone has had the experience of feeling seen, heard, or accepted in every space they enter. We believe everyone deserves a space where they can show up authentically, feel understood, and be met with compassion.
We are committed to fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and culturally sensitive environment where your identity, experiences, values, and individual needs are respected. Regardless of your background, culture, beliefs, identity, or the challenges you may be navigating, you are welcome here.
We strive to create a space free of judgment, where differences are embraced, individual experiences are valued, and you feel comfortable being yourself. Your story matters, and you deserve to feel that you belong.
Culturally responsive & inclusive care
We recognize that who we are is shaped by our cultural backgrounds, identities, relationships, and lived experiences. We believe that understanding your story means looking beyond the individual and acknowledging the cultural, social, and environmental factors that influence your experiences.
We approach therapy with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to learn, recognizing that you are the expert on your own experiences. Rather than making assumptions, we strive to understand your unique perspective, values, beliefs, and circumstances to ensure that your therapeutic journey feels respectful, meaningful, and relevant to your needs.
Our goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, while honouring the many experiences and identities that make you who you are.
Rooted in trust, compassion & respect
We understand that opening up about personal experiences, thoughts, and emotions can feel vulnerable. We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self.
We recognize that everyone's experiences, perspectives, and journeys are different. Whether you are navigating difficult emotions, past experiences, relationship challenges, or uncertainties about yourself, you deserve to be met with compassion, empathy, and understanding.
We strive to foster an environment built on trust, respect, and acceptance, where your feelings are validated, your boundaries are honoured, and your story is welcomed without judgment. You are encouraged to explore your experiences at your own pace, without pressure or expectations.

Please feel free to reach out if you have questions about insurance coverage, direct billing, or reduced-fee options.
Reduced-fee appointments
We believe that access to mental health support should be as accessible and inclusive as possible. In our commitment to providing equitable care, we offer a limited number of reduced-fee therapy appointments for individuals who may benefit from more affordable services.
If you are interested in learning more about reduced-fee options or current availability, please feel free to reach out. We would be happy to explore the options available to you.
NIHB and VQRP+
I am a registered provider with the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program and Victim Quick Response Program+ (VQRP+). If you are eligible for coverage through either program, you may be able to access psychotherapy services at no cost.
NIHB provides eligible First Nations and Inuit clients with coverage for mental health counselling services, while VQRP+ provides eligible individuals who have experienced a traumatic or distressing incident with access to financial assistance and support services, including counselling and mental health support.
If you are unsure about your eligibility, please feel free to reach out. I would be happy to help guide you through the process.
Direct billing to insurance
Psychotherapy services are often covered under extended health benefit plans, although coverage and direct billing options vary depending on your insurance provider and individual policy. Our clinic offers direct billing to many major insurance providers in Canada, including:
- Manulife
- Canada Life
- Sun Life
- GreenShield (GSC)
- Desjardins
- Blue Cross
- ClaimSecure
- Equitable Life
- Medavie Blue Cross
- Industrial Alliance (iA Financial Group)
What if my insurance provider does not offer direct billing?
If direct billing is unavailable through your insurance plan, payment will be collected following each session. We accept credit cards, debit cards, and e-transfers. You will receive a detailed receipt that can be submitted directly to your insurance provider for reimbursement, subject to the terms and coverage of your individual plan.
How do I know if my sessions are covered?
We encourage you to contact your insurance provider before your first appointment to confirm your psychotherapy coverage, annual limits, eligible practitioner designations, and reimbursement requirements.
If you have questions about insurance, billing, or payment options, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are happy to help clarify the process and make accessing support as straightforward as possible.
Questions new clients ask.
What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy, often referred to as talk therapy, is a collaborative process that provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and behaviours. It can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, recognize patterns that may be impacting your well-being, and develop healthier ways of navigating life's challenges.
Through psychotherapy, we can explore concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationships, self-esteem, past experiences, emotional regulation, and life transitions. Together, we work towards building self-awareness, developing coping strategies, strengthening communication and boundaries, and identifying meaningful steps towards your personal goals.
Therapy looks different for everyone, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. My role is to provide guidance, support, and evidence-based strategies while empowering you to discover your own strengths and develop the tools to create positive and lasting changes in your life.
You do not need to be experiencing a crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes, having a space dedicated to yourself and your personal growth can be a meaningful first step towards feeling more connected, confident, and balanced.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is an important part of the therapeutic relationship, and I strive to create a safe and private space where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment.
What you share during our sessions remains confidential and is not disclosed to others without your consent, except in certain circumstances required or permitted by law.
We can discuss confidentiality and its limits during our initial session, so you understand your rights and feel informed about the therapeutic process.
Your privacy, safety, and trust are important to me, and I am committed to handling your personal information with care and professionalism.
How does therapy work?
Therapy is a collaborative process that focuses on understanding yourself, exploring your experiences, and working towards meaningful changes in your life. Each person's therapeutic journey is unique, and sessions are tailored to your individual needs, concerns, and goals.
During our initial sessions, we will take time to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your concerns, and identify what you hope to gain from the experience. This helps us establish a foundation for our therapeutic relationship and develop goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you.
As we continue working together, sessions may involve exploring thoughts, emotions, and behavioural patterns, identifying underlying concerns, processing past experiences, and developing practical coping strategies. Depending on your needs, we may incorporate different therapeutic approaches and skill-building exercises to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, boundaries, communication, and problem-solving.
Therapy is not about having all the answers or being told what to do. It is about having a supportive space to explore your experiences, gain new perspectives, and reconnect with your own strengths and abilities.
Progress looks different for everyone, and healing is not always linear. My role is to walk alongside you, offer guidance and support, and help you build the tools and confidence to navigate life's challenges both inside and outside of our sessions.
