Dolcee Chauhan

Hi, I’m Dolcee (she/her)


** As a counselling intern completing my practicum with Our Landing Place, I am restricted in the types of counselling I can offer. Please fill out this form to help me and my supervising team determine if I can support you. **

I’m a queer, neurodivergent, cis South Asian woman living and working on the traditional territory of many Nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. This land, now known as Toronto, continues to be home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating identity shifts, relationship challenges, or carrying the quiet weight of grief or trauma, I hope to offer a space where you feel seen, supported, and free to show up as your authentic full self. Together, we’ll explore your inner world with curiosity and care, creating space for healing, clarity, and a deeper sense of grounding.

My practice is client-centred and draws from Narrative Therapy, parts work (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I believe in working with the body as well as the mind, making space for nervous system awareness, safety, and slow unfolding. I care deeply about gender-affirming care, reimagining women’s issues, and inviting a more inclusive, nuanced understanding of mental health that honours your lived experience.

Our sessions are a space where all parts of you are welcome, the messy, the meaningful, and everything in between. I hold space especially for the parts of you that have felt silenced, stuck, or like they didn’t belong. Therapy, to me, is about honouring your full complexity: your story, your body, your relationships, and the cultures that shape you. My approach is trauma-informed, decolonizing, and rooted in cultural humility. I strive to create a space that is anti-oppressive, sex-positive, and kink-affirming, where you can explore freely without fear of judgment.

I'm drawn to this work because I know what it’s like to carry many stories at once, to move through grief, marginality, and cultural in-betweenness. Raised by a single mother, growing up neurodivergent, and navigating life between collectivist and Western systems, I’ve experienced the intersectional layers that shape how we show up in the world. These lived experiences inform my commitment to holding space that is compassionate, culturally attuned, and grounded in resilience.

I am currently completing my Master’s in Counselling Psychology. With over a decade of experience in people and culture roles, I’ve gained a deep understanding of how individuals navigate change, conflict, and uncertainty, insights that directly inform how I show up in the therapy room today. This also includes time spent volunteering on a crisis helpline, where I offered compassionate support to callers during moments of distress.

I am especially passionate about supporting folks navigating:

  • Neurodivergence

  • Depression & Anxiety

  • Perfectionism & Shame

  • Cultural Identity & Intersectionality

  • Chronic Illness & Disability

  • Sexuality, Desire, Kink & Intimacy

Outside of sessions, you’ll often find me on long walks, practicing yoga or Pilates, curled up with a healing book or a fantasy novel. I also love exploring creativity through sketching and colouring, immersing myself in art exhibits, live concerts, and theatre performances.

As a counselling intern, I am able to provide trauma-informed counselling but not specialized trauma treatment. I am also unable to provide treatment for those experiencing active psychosis and cannot write gender affirming assessments for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and gender affirming surgery. Post-traumatic stress, intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and active addiction will be considered by my clinical supervisors on a case-by-case basis to ensure I can provide an appropriate level and type of support.

If you would like to see if we would be a good fit to work together, please complete this form. Our team will be in touch to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Session Fee: $40 per 50-minute session (plus applicable tax).
