A conversation with Simran

What made you want to become a therapist?

I became a therapist because I have been fascinated with science and art of understating people- their experiences, relationships, and beliefs that shape the way they move around the world. Overtime, I realized to turn this interest into work that is both meaningful and practical. 

What do you do when you are not working?

When I am not working, I choose to recharge my energy by spending time reading books, spending time with friends, staying connected with family, and traveling. 

What is important to you when working with clients?

The most important thing for me when working with clients is to create a space where they feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood without fear of judgment. I approach therapy collaboratively and want clients to have an active voice in their goals and directions of our work.
