ONLINE & IN-PERSON THERAPY OTTAWA, ONTARIO
Grishma Dahal
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
A warm welcome. My name is Grishma, and my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and inner experiences. With a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, I hold space for what you're going through, with compassion, curiosity, and care, as we move toward healing and self-discovery.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence (ADHD, OCD), relationships, life transitions, and spirituality. Whether you’re facing emotional distress, seeking deeper self-understanding, or working through relational challenges, I provide a supportive space to explore and heal.
​
I work from a culturally aware lens and am committed to understanding and honouring your unique lived experiences and the way you see the world.

What's It Like To Work With Me?
Working with me means having a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood. I take a warm, culturally aware approach, and I always move at your pace: no pressure, no rush.
​
I work from a mind-body perspective, meaning we’ll pay attention to how your thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences all connect. Whether you’re processing something difficult, working through old wounds, or trying to feel more grounded in who you are, I’m here to walk alongside you.
​
Therapy isn’t just about feeling “better", it’s about building a deeper relationship with yourself, finding meaning in your experiences, and growing the tools and resilience to navigate life with more clarity and confidence.
​
If you're looking for a therapist who...
​
Gets the complexities of trauma, anxiety, and neurodivergence, and someone who can hold space for deep emotions and offer practical tools, we might be a great fit!
​
I’d be truly honoured to walk alongside you as you move through healing, self-discovery, and growth.
Outside Of Work...
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me wherever there’s water, whether that's floating on a paddleboard or lying back, staring at the sky, wondering what my parallel-universe selves are up to (fingers crossed they’re somewhere sunny with endless snacks).
​
For the other nine months of the year (a.k.a. Ottawa’s endless winter) you’ll find me cozied up indoors, making and eating what can only be described as an unreasonable amount of dumplings (basically a love language).
​
Animals, nature, and good food are my personal version of paradise. Give me some greenery, a body of water, a few furry friends, and something delicious to snack on, and I’m all set!
​
And when it’s time to fully unplug? It’s me, my cat, and an embarrassing amount of Bravo reality TV. No shame, just snacks and vibes.
Think We Might Be A Good Fit?
I know that finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so I do my best to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible. If you have questions, or if anything here resonated with you, feel free to reach out! I’m here when you’re ready, and I'd love to connect with you.
