Charmin provides counselling to youth (13 years old +), adults, and couples. Charmin offers in-person appointments in Burlington, Ontario and online/ virtual appointments to anyone in Ontario.
Charmin would love to walk alongside you as you embark on your path of healing and personal growth. Charmin’s passion for mental wellness started early in her life and is rooted in her 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, implemented behavioural therapies, provided parent coaching, and led group sessions for individuals facing challenges. This dedication led Charmin to complete a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.
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. Her focus is on creating a therapeutic space that is collaborative, transparent, non-judgmental, and above all, safe for you to explore what is going on for you. 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.
