Janhavi Mistry
PSYCHOLOGIST
She/Her
Janhavi works at Symmetry on Mondays. She has a particular interest in supporting individuals experiencing mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, stress management, trauma, and alcohol and drug use with a focus on both maintenance and relapse prevention. She is also passionate about working with migrant populations, especially women, as well as busy professionals navigating the pressures of work and life balance.
Janhavi’s background includes working in both private and community settings, with clinical experience in drug and alcohol services during her training, and The Victoria Clinic. In her practice, Janhavi takes a psychobiosocial and person-centred approach. She is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and is currently expanding her skills in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
Using a collaborative and empowering style, Janhavi works alongside her clients with the belief that they are the experts of their own lives. She provides practical tools and strategies to help clients reduce distress, build confidence, and improve their quality of life. A session with Janhavi is collaborative and strengths-based, helping clients feel both supported and curious about their own growth. Her goal is to foster agency and self-awareness so that each client leaves with a greater sense of empowerment in their life.
Outside of therapy, Janhavi enjoys walking, spending time outdoors, and resistance training.
