Raysha Vijendran, MSW, RSW

I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). When working with individuals, I consider all the biological, psychological, emotional and social factors that play a role in their well-being. Using a step-by-step approach, I work collaboratively with individuals to help them feel their best so that they can lead the rich and meaningful life that they want. I obtained my Masters of Social Work from the University of Toronto. I have experience working with individuals experiencing mental health challenges, addiction, trauma and poverty. I have worked in diverse settings such as food banks, community organizations, and health centres. Currently, I work with adults with mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I also use anti-oppressive, culturally-sensitive, strength-based, and trauma-informed approaches. Please note that our associates work with many presenting issues, some of which are not listed in this biography. Please speak with our intake team at 416-363-4228 for more information.
