Kartik's Approach to Therapy
Kartik brings a holistic and trauma-informed perspective to his work, recognizing that each person's life is shaped by a wide range of experiences — many outside their control — that influence how they show up today. His approach often involves thinking creatively about treatment, reducing the intensity of symptoms, connecting clients with community resources, and conducting assessments to build a clear understanding of each person's needs. He is especially interested in helping individuals explore their strengths and vulnerabilities to foster resilience, and hopes that we can learn and laugh with each other as we navigate life's challenges and successes.
Kartik's Specialties
Kartik has been a Registered Social Worker for the past 10 years, and he holds a Master of Social Work degree with a clinical specialization. With a background supporting adults experiencing homelessness, poverty, substance use, severe mental health concerns, and complex trauma, Kartik has a strong foundation and interest in supporting people, and their loved ones, who are experiencing schizophrenia and similar concerns. Kartik is interested in getting to know people as a whole and looking at patterns they may or may not be aware of that are negatively impacting their lives. In doing so, he can work with you to come up with tools and techniques tailored to what works best for you. As an immigrant and person who comes from a culture where mental health concerns are minimized, Kartik aims to support people to better understand and explain the challenges they may have been experiencing in a safe environment.
Book with Kartik
I am interested in the whole picture of a person's life: symptoms, strengths, relationships, resources, and the systems around them. Therapy can make that picture easier to understand and work with.
