About Reshma Patel
South Asian families don't talk about anxiety. We talk about pressure, about expectation. The work is finding the words underneath the words.
Reshma Patel is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) practicing in Brampton with a focus on anxiety, family systems, and intergenerational dynamics in South Asian families. She has nine years of clinical experience.
Born in Mumbai and raised in the GTA, Reshma practices in English, Hindi, and Punjabi. Her clients are often navigating the specific anxiety that comes from being responsible for multiple generations — for aging parents, for younger siblings, for the expectations of both worlds at once.
Reshma integrates cognitive behavioural therapy, family-systems work, and culturally adapted anxiety treatment. Her practice serves South Asian and Indo-Caribbean clients across the GTA, with particular attention to women navigating multi-role family responsibility.
Session formats: In-person at the Brampton office (50-min sessions) and virtual. Bilingual English/Hindi/Punjabi available. Insurance billing supported.
What I bring to the practice
The South Asian women in my family were brilliant. They also carried anxiety that nobody named for forty years. I named mine in my mid-twenties and it changed everything. That's the work I make available to my clients.
