A note from Dr. Bahl
Hello, and thank you for being here.
I’m deeply passionate about my work as a psychologist. My interest in mental health began while growing up as the eldest daughter in a Punjabi household, where the messages about emotions were mixed — family problems stayed in the family, feelings stayed hidden. Looking back, it was a confusing way to understand mental health — and one of the reasons I became so curious about psychology!
I provide individual therapy and couples therapy for adults. It is my mission to provide care that is warm, safe, and helpful to reach your goals, and help navigate challenges in life and relationships.
I also provide psychodiagnostic and ADHD assessments for adults — thorough, thoughtful, and attentive to the whole picture: your strengths, life experiences, cultural context, and any overlapping concerns. My goal is clarity, understanding, and practical recommendations you can move forward with.
Beyond the therapy room
A few things that keep me grounded
Music & concerts
Find me at a concert or festival, dancing my heart away!
Genres I love –
Rap & hip-hop, R&B, soca, dancehall, reggae, EDM, house, and Punjabi music.
Movement
I love walking to explore nature, culture, and architecture.
I’ve been working on building my yoga practice 🙂 and maybeeee try a dance class!
Art
Winding down with something made by my hands — embroidery, pottery on the wheel and crochet are my current favs.
