Rupa Ray, MSW, RSW

Hello! My name is Rupa. I support adolescents, adults, and older adults who may be feeling overwhelmed by difficult past experiences, anxiety, chronic stress, sleep disruption, health concerns, grief, or relationship strain. I also work with children, couples, and families when the requested service is within her scope and is assessed as suitable.

My approach is warm, supportive, collaborative, culturally responsive, and practical. I aim to understand each person within their individual, relational, cultural, and community context. Sessions may be reflective and carefully paced, more structured and goal-oriented, or a balance of both.
I believe therapy should make room for you as a whole person, your experiences, relationships, culture, language, and circumstances.

Rupa works with children 10+, adolescents, adults, older adults, couples, and families. Suitability is assessed individually based on presenting concerns, consent requirements, family circumstances, and the service requested
Yes. Rupa offers counselling in English, Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu. Clients can identify their preferred language when contacting the clinic or booking.
Rupa has experience providing cross-cultural counselling to immigrants, refugees, newcomers, and clients from varied cultural, racial, and faith backgrounds. She invites clients to identify which aspects of culture, migration, identity, family, or community are relevant to their care.
The consultation is a brief introductory conversation where you can ask questions, describe the type of support you are seeking, and explore whether Rupa may be a suitable fit. It is not a therapy session, assessment, diagnosis, or crisis service.
