Ria Padania RP

“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you go; they merely determine where you start”, Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy. Many of us are struggling with emotional, behavioural, interpersonal, situational, and environmental issues alone and require someone to actively listen and hold on to. Showing up and discussing mental health issues can be tough yet important.

She is here to help her clients live a fulfilling and emotionally rich life.

Ria has experience working with adolescents, teenagers, adults, newcomers, immigrants, 2LGBTQ+ communities, and people from various cultural backgrounds. Ria ensures that her clients receive comfortable, non-judgmental environment and inculcate internal validation while also assisting them in maintaining stability and resilience.
