Sahana Jeyakumar

Sahana Jeyakumar, MSW supports clients ages 13+ that are facing anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self harm, substance use and trauma, as well as their caregivers and parents. She's inspired by her clients' growth as they work on themselves in therapy, and finds it meaningful to be a part of this journey. Sahana feels privileged to support people in therapy, and aims to help her clients feel more understood and less alone in their experience. She chooses to use Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in her work with clients because of its holistic and robust approach, and she loves that there’s a DBT skill to get through every situation.

She has a certificate in Trauma Counselling from SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health and is also trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
