Debongshi Chakma

I am interested in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD and mental health-related issues and providing them with tools and techniques to understand the art of conscious and healthy living. As part of my unique spiritual training, I offer holistically-integrated psychotherapy from a non-judgmental perspective.


I am a trained spiritual counsellor, registered Psychotherapist and meditation teacher. I have over 30 years of experience in the spiritual counselling field. I have worked with diverse populations, including adults, adolescents, couples and families, and have provided individual and group counselling.

 

I studied psychology and emotional intelligence (EI) project management (PM), earned a B.A. (Hons) degree in Buddhist studies, and studied Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I am a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), a Registered Psychotherapist, qualifying from the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and a qualified member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP). I aim to support and empower people throughout their healing process and make a change in their lives. I also want to further my therapeutic skills and deepen my ability to support clients in their healing journey.  To book an appointment with Debongshi, please go to https://inwholeness.janeapp.com/#/staff_member/6/treatment/22

We seek to empower and encourage them to strive for recovery through peer and professional support while creating greater public awareness.

We at OSI-CAN do not see PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as a Disorder, we see it as an Injury you can recover from.  If you are suffering from the symptoms of an Occupational or Operational Stress Injury, then a PTSD or PTSI diagnosis is not required to get our help
