Preanka Naicker (she/her)

Sliding Scale? Open

Accepting New Clients: Yes

Hi, I'm Preanka, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I understand that taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, and it isn't always easy to open up to someone new. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your story at your own pace.

I believe that therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Every person brings their own experiences, strengths, and challenges, which is why I take an integrative, client-centered approach to care. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, and I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Together, we'll find an approach that feels meaningful and fits your goals.

As someone who values culturally responsive care, I believe your identity, background, and lived experiences are important parts of the therapeutic process. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, workplace stress, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to support you with empathy, compassion, and practical strategies that help you move toward lasting growth and well-being.

You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I'm here to walk alongside you, helping you discover your strengths and move toward meaningful change.

This broad exposure shaped his deep commitment to cultural humility, and to the understanding that human beings share similar emotional experiences, expressed differently through culture. Professionally, Rami is a pharmacist by training, holding a Bachelor of Pharmacy and a Master of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. His blended healthcare background allows him to integrate medical, psychological, holistic, and cultural perspectives when supporting clients with complex emotional needs.His therapeutic work focuses on anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use, ADHD-related challenges, behavioural addictions, and cross-cultural adjustment, using CBT-informed, DBT, and ACT-based interventions to support clients in meaningful, evidence-aligned ways.

Rami provides therapy in English and various Arabic dialects, and is committed to creating a space grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect—meeting clients exactly where they are and walking alongside them as they move toward healing, clarity, and growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What services does Mississauga Therapy offer?

We provide a comprehensive range of evidence-based therapeutic services designed to support your mental well-being. Our team offers dedicated clinical care for persistent worry and anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship and couples distress, complex life transitions, and specialized therapy frameworks tailored for individuals navigating unique emotional processing needs.

Where are your sessions conducted, and do you offer online therapy?

We accommodate your lifestyle and scheduling requirements fully. We provide dedicated in-person sessions at our physical spaces for clients who value a neutral environment away from everyday distractions. For residents living anywhere else across Mississauga, or those with tight schedules or mobility constraints, we deliver secure, confidential, and identical therapeutic outcomes through online virtual care. You can seamlessly alternate between formats as your routine changes.

Is there a waitlist to see a registered practitioner?

We prioritize fast and accessible mental health support. Our intake management team works actively to minimize operational delays so you can begin your journey toward wellness immediately. By balancing our roster of Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) and Registered Social Workers (RSWs), we aim to connect you with an available professional efficiently without putting your care on long hold periods.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?

During your initial intake process, our clinical team closely listens to your specific concerns and personal goals. We then carefully match you with either a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) or a Registered Social Workers (RSW) whose therapeutic modality best fits your unique situation. We strongly believe in building an authentic, safe relationship foundation, and we fully welcome changes in practitioners if your current match is no longer meeting your evolving needs.

What is the difference between psychotherapy and social work services?

Both Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) and Registered Social Workers (RSWs) are highly qualified, regulated health professionals in Mississauga. RPs focus heavily on deep psychological modalities and emotional processing. RSWs incorporate broader community, systemic, and resource-based frameworks alongside clinical therapy. Both credentials deliver high-standard clinical mental health treatments and are widely recognized by major insurance companies.

What is your mission regarding affordable mental health care and insurance?

Our mission is to keep professional mental health care fully accessible to everyone. Most private and employee benefits plans heavily cover services rendered by RPs or RSWs. We offer direct billing setup to major insurance providers whenever possible to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses. For clients who currently lack extended insurance coverage, we maintain open sliding-scale options tailored to fit different financial situations.
