At Anchored Therapy Centre, we believe that the foundation of effective therapy is a genuine human connection. It’s about finding a guide who not only has the clinical skills to help but also the lived experience to truly understand. That’s why we are so thrilled to welcome Shivani Patel to our team of dedicated therapists. Shivani brings a profound depth of empathy, cultural understanding, and professional expertise to her work with individuals and couples in Mississauga, Georgetown, Milton, and across Ontario.
A Path Forged from Empathy
For Shivani, the path to becoming a therapist was deeply personal. "I only understood the seriousness of mental health 12 years ago," she shares, "when I lost my best friend, who died by suicide due to depression." This heartbreaking experience ignited a passion to support others through their own mental health challenges. This isn't just a career for Shivani; it's a calling. It's this profound sense of purpose that allows her to connect so authentically with youth and adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and issues of self-esteem.
A Safe Space for All Cultures and Backgrounds
Coming from a South Asian community, Shivani understands the powerful stigma that can surround mental health. She recognizes the courage it takes to reach out and is committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel seen and understood.
This is especially crucial in a community as diverse as ours. As a multilingual Psychotherapist in Mississauga, Shivani breaks down barriers by offering therapy in English, Gujarati, Hindi, and Urdu. This allows clients to express their deepest feelings in the language of their heart, ensuring nothing is lost in translation.
Guiding Couples, teens, and Individuals Toward Connection and Growth
Life’s challenges can strain even the strongest individuals and relationships. Shivani’s work is focused on providing practical tools and compassionate guidance to help you navigate these complexities.
For Couples: Rebuilding Your Foundation
Relationships can be complicated. Shivani works collaboratively with partners to untangle conflicts and rediscover their connection. Whether you are looking for Couples Therapy in Milton to improve communication, seeking Marriage and Couples Therapy Georgetown to heal from a breach of trust, or require a Relationship Counselor to navigate a major life transition, Shivani can help. Her approach to Couples Therapy Mississauga is rooted in evidence-based strategies, helping you build a stronger, more resilient partnership. If you’re looking for a Couples Therapist who combines expertise with genuine care, you've found her.

Her work in Anxiety and Depression Therapy in Georgetown is trauma-informed and holistic. From providing Anger Management Therapy Mississauga to helping clients navigate issues of cultural identity and self-esteem, Shivani’s Individual Therapy sessions are tailored to your unique journey.
