Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist
Diviya supports individuals living and dealing with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, difficult emotions, life transitions and self-esteem (inner critic) issues. As an integrative therapist, Diviya tailors evidence-based interventions to clients’ unique needs. Diviya believes that psychotherapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, tapping into our bodily sensed awareness, and exploring the different parts of our experience with curiosity. She connects authentically with clients to rediscover their inner resources and values to move towards the life they hope to live.

Individual Psychotherapy
I am currently offering therapy online, using a confidential online software, Jane App, to provide clients with individual psychotherapy to adults.
I offer clients a15-minute free phone or video consultations to gauge your fit with me.
I am an NIHB provider, providing counselling to those who are Indigenous/Inuit (i.e. you must have a 10-digit status no.). There is a 22-session per year limit. I provide direct billing if requested.

Relationship
Therapy
I am drawn to supporting couples in inter-ethnic or inter-racial partnerships, being in one myself, and understanding the added unique and complex nuances merging two different cultures together.
I draw from IFIO and IFS to support couples, and each session lasts 65 minutes or 90 minutes.
I am NOT currently accepting new couples into my practice.

Land Acknowledgment
I acknowledge that my work spans many traditional territories, e.g. Tkaronto, “Where The Trees Meet The Water”; “The Gathering Place", of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, and W̱SÁNEĆ, which means "the emerging people", home to W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip), W̱SIKEM (Tseycum), SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout) and BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin) nations.
I acknowledge these & any other Nations who care for the land (acknowledged and unacknowledged, recorded and unrecorded) as the past, present and future caretakers of this land.
I am grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are with us today, those who have gone before us and the youth that inspire us. I recognize the land acknowledgement as an act of Reconciliation, as recommended by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) 94 Calls to Action and have gratitude to those whose territory I reside on and work on, while acknowledging this is but a small act towards reconciliation.
I am committed to supporting indigenous sovereignty & dismantling White Supremacy culture and colonialism by naming the violence done to indigenous communities, by listening and learning from survivors of residential schools, by not calling police on Indigenous community members (working with Elders and the Nation for the most appropriate solutions), by continuing my anti-oppressive anti-racist learnings and practice, and educating others on this. I humbly consider myself a steward, and strive to support various restoration events, Indigenous owned businesses and reconciliation endeavours.
