Nisha Thakker
EMDR Trained Registered Psychotherapist
Nisha is a dedicated Registered Psychotherapist with specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a transformative, evidence-based approach for healing trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress. EMDR lies at the heart of her trauma-informed practice, guiding clients through the process of healing and empowering them to move forward with strength and resilience.
In addition to EMDR, Nisha integrates a variety of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Her therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered — always meeting clients where they are on their journey.
Nisha works with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. As an immigrant herself, she brings a deep understanding of cultural identity, adjustment, and the challenges of belonging. This lived experience enriches her practice, ensuring that it is culturally sensitive and empathetic.
Nisha offers in-person therapy in Cambridge, Kitchener and Brantford, as well as secure virtual sessions across Ontario — available in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, ensuring you can connect in the language and style that feels most comfortable for you.
Outside of therapy, Nisha is a proud mom and finds peace in gardening. She believes that, much like growth in nature, healing takes time, care, and the right environment.
