Rima Sehgal
Rima Sehgal is a Registered Psychotherapist who takes a humanistic approach, grounded in the belief that every client has the innate capacity to grow and live a more fulfilling life. She views therapy as a collaborative space for reflection, self-understanding, and reimagining the self beyond perceived limitations. Rima’s work is shaped by a deep personal belief that what we need is to be seen, heard, and understood, not "fixed." Clients can expect a warm, compassionate presence and a balance of gentle dialogue with space to explore emotions and patterns. She has a special interest in helping clients navigate inner criticism, self-worth, and personal meaning. Rima invites you to ask questions, show up as you are, and take the lead in your own healing journey.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
