Piya's Place is a private practice based in Ottawa that offers (Ontario-wide) virtual and limited in-person counselling and psychotherapy services to individual adults, youth, and couples. As a practice founded by a second-generation South Asian immigrant and Muslim woman, we hope to offer culturally responsive, spiritually and trauma-informed therapeutic services to diverse populations.

Seeking therapy is no easy feat. It can be terrifying, embarrassing, and nerve-wracking to speak to someone about your most private experiences. That said, we hope to create a space with you that is safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive of your unique needs. At Piya's Place, we honour your personhood and would love to be a part of your growth journey!

**We provide reduced fees based on financial need. While these 'reduced fee' spots are limited, please still inquire about this and state your financial circumstances (i.e., your employment status, student status, etc.) during your consultation meeting to determine your eligibility.

We understand the profound impact the recent traumatic events have had on our mental health, and we are here to offer support, healing, and hope through free therapy sessions to those impacted, regardless of their ethnic, cultural, or religious background. These sessions are offered virtually (telephone or video call) to any individuals (aged 16+) across Ontario and will consist of 1 to 5 free sessions depending on client need.

**As these sessions are meant for short-term crisis counselling, the therapist and client shall collaboratively discuss further support options (e.g., long-term individual therapy, support group options, etc.) upon the completion of these limited sessions, should the need arise.

***Please indicate if you are a returning or new client.
