Neeraja Aptikar is a compassionate wellness counselor with over 12 years of experience and a 30-year background in Buddhist practice. She specializes in supporting individuals from children to seniors in overcoming emotional challenges, navigating life transitions, and building resilient, meaningful lives. Her evidence-based, personalized approach offers a safe, confidential space for healing, growth, and empowerment.
Neeraja believes counseling is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity. With changing family systems, cultural shifts, and increased isolation, especially after COVID-19, many are struggling with loneliness, relationship issues, and emotional distress. Her services focus on those who need support the most but cannot afford high counseling fees—newcomers to Canada, immigrant women, international students, and low to moderate-income individuals from all backgrounds. Her counseling is affordable, accessible, and rooted in care.
