Alicia Panchal, MSW RSW — psychotherapist in Ajax, Ontario

Hey, I'm Alicia Panchal.

Growing up, I had absolutely no idea how to be aware of my thoughts and feelings, let alone communicate them to someone else. It was confusing, isolating, and aggravating to say the least, and definitely affected how I acted towards myself and those around me. Over the years, I've made it a point to learn about me, manage my own struggles with mental health, and ultimately, put myself first. This work is ongoing, but it's helped me in so many ways, and I hope that it helps you too!

Alicia Panchal is a South Asian therapist and Registered Social Worker who holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto and has worked with individuals from all walks of life, with varying mental health concerns. She offers culturally responsive therapy, both in person therapy in Ajax and online therapy across Ontario.
