Shivani Agarwal

Shivani always knew she wanted to work in a field related to mental health, and she moved to Canada to pursue her training in clinical psychology and art therapy. She grew up in a family where mental health issues were often swept under the rug in order to present a more culturally acceptable image to others. Shivani says that having lived in many places and in many cultures has help her better understand intersectionality and be open to different experiences.
