Learning to simply cope with your pain isn’t good enough.

Find long-term relief by treating the root cause of your distress with in-depth mental health specialists at The Mind People.

Struggling with untreated mental health issues leaves you suffering with pain that can seriously disrupt your sleep, your relationships, and your sense of self and physical well-being.

Sometimes that pain is shaped by more than just what’s happening in the present — it’s woven into your history, your culture, and the expectations you’ve carried across generations without ever being asked if they fit.

That’s where we come in.

🔸 Nima’s focus is on working with individuals navigating trauma, depression, and women’s mental health, with a particular depth of understanding for the South Asian experience — including immigrant and cross-cultural challenges, women of colour, and the unique emotional weight that comes with navigating life between cultures.

Nima is an Intern Therapist and Masters candidate at Yorkville University, bringing a rich and unconventional background to her clinical work.

As a Montessori-trained educator with experience supporting children and families in both Singapore and Canada, she developed a grounded, real-world understanding of how emotional and developmental challenges actually show up in daily life — within classrooms, families, and communities. That foundation informs the way she works with patients today: practically, attentively, and with genuine care for the whole person.

Having lived across India, Singapore, and Canada, Nima brings a multicultural lens to her work that is both deeply personal and professionally informed. She is particularly attuned to how culture, migration, family systems, identity, and intergenerational experiences shape mental health in ways that are often overlooked in mainstream therapeutic spaces.

For South Asian patients especially — and for women of colour navigating complex cultural expectations — she offers something rare: a space where your full context is not just acknowledged, but genuinely understood. She conducts sessions in English, Tamil, and Hindi.

Nima works with patients facing a wide range of concerns, including fertility and conception-related emotional well-being, narcissistic abuse recovery, childhood trauma and inner child healing, grief and loss, parenting support, and questions of self-discovery and life purpose.

Her approach is rooted in psychodynamic and trauma-informed care — meaning she helps you understand the deeper patterns driving your distress, not just the symptoms on the surface. She integrates mindfulness and self-awareness practices throughout her work, and has facilitated wellness workshops across India, Singapore, and online, including for the Aurobindo Society.

She also holds a Diploma in Life Coaching and Counselling and is a certified Heal Your Life Workshop Leader — adding a goal-oriented, strengths-based dimension to her therapeutic approach.

When you work with Nima, you will feel seen in the fullness of who you are — your history, your culture, and your capacity to heal. The goal is a therapeutic space where you feel supported, empowered, and understood.

Nima works closely with our Clinic Director to ensure that you receive the highest quality mental health care.

Let’s get you unstuck and moving forward.
