Tara also works with individuals navigating substance use and addiction recovery, with experience in relapse prevention and multiple recovery pathways, including SMART Recovery approaches.

Clients often describe Tara as engaging, genuine, and easy to talk to. She prioritizes building strong therapeutic rapport and creating an environment where clients feel safe, respected, and comfortable being themselves. While her approach is compassionate and supportive (and occasionally includes a bit of well-timed humor), she is also thoughtfully direct—believing that meaningful growth often requires both encouragement and gentle challenge. Tara holds both bachelor’s and master’s level education and is currently pursuing a second master’s degree in Mental Health Administration. Her long-term goal is to establish a recovery house that supports individuals and families impacted by addiction. She is deeply committed to ongoing professional development and continuously expanding her clinical capacity to support clients in holistic and meaningful ways. Tara believes that healing and growth look different for everyone and works collaboratively with clients to define and pursue what progress means to them.

“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip Toe if you must but take the step.” My name is Pratima Pathak, and I am a client- centered therapist with diverse life experiences and more than 10 years of extensive clinical & multi- cultural counselling experience working with families, youth & adults, to help them explore their inner self, their challenges, relationships and goals. I take a Holistic approach to therapy, with Mindfulness and Cognitive Behaviour therapy as my area of expertise. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario in good standing and an active member of Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.   With extensive experience in evidence-based Mindfulness practices and Cognitive behavior therapy, I guide clients to navigate life’s challenges with greater presence and inner calm. I help clients create a safe space, where mindfulness meets cognition, and clients learn to cultivate heightened awareness of one’s thoughts and emotions, identify unhelpful patterns without judging them or getting stuck in the reactive patterns, and empowering individuals to cultivate greater self-awareness and emotional resilience. I provide Individual & couple therapy through a non-judgmental, empathetic and a safe environment, where I work in collaboration with the client to understand their challenges, fears, anxieties and inner conflicts that they bring into the session and together we navigate their inner landscape and try to understand what is helping them and what is not. Every client brings into the session their uniqueness and their own personal quest, and my effort is to work with them and help them, using ways and techniques that best suits their personal needs. Together, we work on strategies that allow clients to address the root causes of their difficulties and build meaningful connections.

From a very young age, I’ve been deeply interested in human behavior and perspectives. As I grew older, I realized that psychology was the right path for me. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in psychology, but my learning never stops. As I trained in different psychotherapy approaches, I continuously explored different psychotherapy approaches because every individual has unique needs. I strongly believe that psychotherapy is my passion, it’s a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. In therapy, feeling safe and building trust are essential. You cannot fully embark on this journey unless you feel secure. I have extensive experience leading group therapy sessions for various age groups, including individuals facing illnesses such as cancer, MS, and diabetes. Witnessing people grow, moment by moment, is truly inspiring. My experience also extends to working with community-based organizations, supporting diverse groups in different settings. In our sessions, I am committed to creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I am always learning, always growing, just like you.
