Therapy With Priya
Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I believe healing is a sacred process of remembering who we are beneath our pain. It begins with connection: to ourselves, to others, and to the meaning woven through our life experiences. In therapy, we create a space to gently explore your story, honour your emotions and move towards greater clarity, self-trust and peace.
I provide culturally aware and identity-affirming therapy that meets you where you are. Therapy is a collaborative and reflective journey.
Together, we’ll explore the stories, emotions, and patterns within you. We’ll explore what your experiences are here to teach you about your strength, needs and capacity for connection – making space for pain and possibility. It is not about fixing what is broken but remembering your wholeness. Ready to begin this journey? I invite you to reach out today!

how i practice
hakomi
Hakomi is a mindful, body-centered approach that invites us to slow down and listen deeply to what the body already knows. Through gentle curiosity and compassion, we uncover the unconscious patterns and emotional imprints that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. In this process, the body becomes a guide—offering wisdom, healing, and the possibility of profound self-discovery.
emdr
I use EMDR as a powerful tool for releasing the emotional weight of past experiences and allowing the nervous system to return to balance. EMDR helps the mind and body integrate what once felt overwhelming, creating space for clarity, calm, and renewed inner strength. It’s a deeply restorative process that honors the body’s natural capacity to heal.
ego states/parts work
In parts work, we explore the inner landscape of the self—meeting the many parts that carry our pain, protection, wisdom, and love. Each part has a story and a purpose, and when we approach them with compassion, they begin to soften and trust. This work supports inner harmony, helping clients reconnect with their core self and live from a place of authenticity and wholeness.
mindfulness
Mindfulness is at the heart of my practice. It invites presence, acceptance, and awareness of the moment just as it is. Through mindfulness, we learn to observe the ebb and flow of thoughts and emotions without judgment, reconnecting to the stillness that exists beneath it all. It’s a path toward self-study, self-understanding, peace, and a deeper sense of alignment.
reiki
Reiki is a gentle, intuitive energy practice that supports emotional, physical, and spiritual healing. I use reiki to help clear blockages, calm the nervous system, and restore balance. Many clients describe feeling grounded, lighter, and more connected to themselves after a session. Reiki complements traditional therapy beautifully, offering a sacred space for the body and spirit to realign.
meditation
Meditation is a sacred practice that invites stillness, clarity, and connection to the deeper self. In my work, I integrate guided and intuitive meditation to help clients cultivate inner calm and reconnect with their innate wisdom. Meditation allows space for healing energy to flow freely—bringing insight, grounding, and a greater sense of spiritual alignment. It’s both a practice and a way of being, supporting clients in finding peace within and beyond the therapy room.
services
15 MINUTE FREE CONSULTATION
This brief call is an opportunity for us to connect and explore whether we’re the right fit to work together. You can share a little about what brings you to therapy, and I’ll answer any questions you may have about my approach, session options, and what to expect. There’s no pressure or commitment — just a chance to get a feel for the process and see if it resonates with you.
50-Minute Intake Session (also available as an 80-Minute Extended Intake)
$200 (50 min) | $300 (80 min)
Your first session is a space to slow down, breathe, and begin your healing journey. We’ll explore what’s been unfolding for you, your history, your goals for therapy, and any patterns or challenges you’d like to shift. The extended 80-minute option allows for a deeper initial exploration — especially helpful if you’re navigating complex trauma, relationship transitions, or multiple areas of focus. Together, we’ll begin to shape a path forward that feels grounded, compassionate, and attuned to your pace.
30-Minute Mindfulness Session
$100 (30 min)
Clients are invited into a gentle space to slow down, reconnect with the present moment, and cultivate awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. The session typically begins with grounding and breathwork, followed by guided mindfulness exercises such as body scans, visualization, or observing thoughts without judgment. Clients are supported in noticing patterns within themselves with curiosity and compassion. This brief session helps promote calm, clarity, and emotional regulation—serving as a restorative pause in the midst of daily demands. Please note that an intake session is required to book this session.
50–80 Minute Therapy Session
$200 (50 min) | $300 (80 min)
Each session reflects the integrative nature of my practice, weaving together the approaches I work with in ways that best support your healing process. Sessions may include guided awareness, somatic exploration, energy work, or processing techniques, depending on what feels aligned for you in the moment. The 50-minute session offers a focused space for steady growth, while the 80-minute session allows for a deeper, more spacious unfolding of the work.
Accessibility and equity are central to my work. Healing should not be limited by financial barriers, and I believe therapy should be available to those who need it, not only those who can most easily afford it. For this reason, I offer a limited number of sliding scale spaces to support clients who are navigating financial hardship or systemic barriers to care. This practice reflects my commitment to community care — recognizing that healing ripples outward, and when one person finds balance and wholeness, it contributes to the collective healing we all share. If you are in need of a sliding scale option, please provide this information during our 15 minute consultation.
*I am currently only offering virtual sessions for clients in AB and BC. In-person sessions will resume in 2026 for clients living in Edmonton, AB.
