Supriya Verma

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
Individual Therapy | Accepting New Clients | In Person + Virtual

I'm a therapist specializing in culturally conscious sex therapy, sexual trauma, creative intimacy, and spiritual sexuality. Drawing from my lived experiences and professional training, I work with individuals navigating the complexities of their relationship with themselves, their bodies, and their spirituality. My focus areas include reclaiming the body and sexuality after trauma, exploring sexuality as a sacred journey, and addressing cultural narratives that shape intimacy and connection.

My goal is to help you uncover your authentic self—integrating your cultural identity, spirituality, and creative desires to forge a path toward healing, empowerment, and meaningful connection. Together, we will create a safe, compassionate space for you to explore your needs, release shame, and build a fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.

I identify as a cisgender, Indian woman and a second-generation Canadian of Hindu Punjabi descent, which brings a culturally sensitive perspective to my practice. I am a daughter, sister, friend, and partner. My journey includes navigating the challenges of cultural expectations, sexual identity, and spirituality. I draw strength from rituals, grounding practices, and ancestral traditions that continue to shape my approach to healing.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy reading, connecting with my family, and baking. These facets of my life inform how I show up authentically in therapy, creating a collaborative space where you, too, can discover and embrace all parts of yourself.

  • Cultural Barriers to Therapy: Many people come from backgrounds where therapy is seen as taboo or misunderstood. This can make it hard to feel comfortable asking for help, especially when mental health isn’t openly discussed in their culture.

    Healing from Sexual Trauma: After experiencing sexual trauma, it can be tough to reconnect with your body or feel comfortable with intimacy. Feelings of shame or fear might get in the way of enjoying healthy relationships or embracing your sexuality.

    Cultural Expectations About Relationships: People often face pressure to follow traditional beliefs about relationships and sexuality. When personal desires don’t align with cultural expectations, it can lead to confusion or feeling isolated.

    Integrating Spirituality and Sexuality: Many struggle to bring their sexual identity and spiritual beliefs together. Exploring sexuality as a sacred part of life helps create harmony between these two important aspects of self.

    Dealing with Shame About Sexuality: Feelings of shame or guilt about sexuality can be deeply rooted in cultural norms. Releasing that shame is key to embracing an authentic, healthy relationship with oneself.

    Balancing Identity and Relationships: It’s common to feel torn between cultural, sexual, and spiritual identities, which can cause tension in relationships. Finding a way to bring these parts of yourself together leads to more peaceful and fulfilling connections.
