Ambita Sen (she/her)
REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Emdr certified | dbr | somatic trained | therapist
I approach each client as an individual with the desire to provide them comfort by approaching their issues holistically. Then, in collaboration with the client, I am able to identify and agree upon the therapeutic process that is attuned to their specific issues, needs, and what they desire to achieve from therapy. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment and value the importance of the therapeutic relationship so they can move forward with ease.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychotherapy from Yorkville University, Canada, and a Master’s degree in Organisational Psychology from Aston University, UK. I am also a member of EMDR Canada and International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.
I have vast experience in treating Trauma, including Acute Trauma (sudden grief, car accidents, serious injury, sexual assault, natural disasters, and witnessing a violent event), Chronic Trauma (domestic violence/ongoing abuse, prolonged bullying, exposure to war and combat, and exposure to repeated natural disasters), Complex Trauma /C-PTSD (attachment wounding, childhood trauma, healthy development of stress response system, ability to understand, communicate, and regulate emotions), and Complex Trauma with dissociation (depersonalization, derealisation, and dissociative amnesia). I also have experience in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), borderline personality disorder (BPD), relationship distress, loss and grief, managing anger, and treating individuals with terminal illnesses and caregivers. As a couple’s therapist, I have helped couples with sex and intimacy issues, rebuild trust, strengthen attachment, improve communication and conflict resolution, and better understand relationship dynamics. Before becoming a Psychotherapist, I spent over a decade working as an Organizational Psychologist, where I gained experience counseling employees regarding job performance, career-related issues, and workplace skills.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), EMDR with Structural Dissociation, DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting: Treating shock, dissociation, and attachment wounding from traumatic experiences), Ego State Therapy/Parts work, MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Ideal Caregiver Protocol, and Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT-C) (Level 1 Certified).
I am on my second year of the three year program of becoming a Somatic Experiencing Practioner (SEP) from Somatic Experiencing International, and am also completing certification in Healing Trauma with Guided Drawing from the Sensorimotor Art Therapy Institute.
