She is sensitive to all facets of ones life when establishing therapeutic approaches. She also has extensive experience working with children and youth and helping parents bridge the gap between themselves and their children alongside with family trauma and distressing events.

Another passion of Harpreet is working with children/youth and adults of immigrant families. Western society takes an individualistic approach to culture and Eastern cultures take a collective approach. This variance causes conflict within families trying to create a balance between the two. Harpreet helps families explore the family culture along with the hybrid culture the child is growing up in.

There are many different modalities Harpreet utilizes. EMDR, EMDR for children, attachment based, Cognitive behavioural, emotionally focused, family systems, play, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, person centered, sand play and somatic therapy.

Harpreet believes people have the power to heal their minds from their life experiences. As a therapist she believe with the right supports and alliances in place people can navigate life in a healthy content way. Sometimes a person does not even know what is causing them chaos, or grief in their lives but in the right, and safe environment it can be explored.
