You’re not alone in this
You don’t need everything figured out to begin.
Whatever brought you here — a hard season, a long-standing struggle, or a question you can’t quite shake — therapy is a collaborative space to make sense of it together and build practical research-supported strategies and skills at a pace that respects where you are.
Meet The Founder
Dr. Nancy Bahl – Psychologist and Clinical Director of Lotus Wellness Psychology Clinic
Hi – I’m Nancy. I’m so glad you’re here!
Mental health has been an important part of my own journey. As the eldest daughter in a Punjabi family, I grew up curious about how our families, relationships, cultures, and life experiences shape the way we see ourselves and navigate the world. That curiosity became my life’s work and ultimately inspired me to found Lotus Wellness Psychology Clinic—a practice dedicated to providing mental health care that is accessible, culturally responsive, and genuinely empowering.
At Lotus Wellness, we offer research-supported care in a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. We work with individuals and couples, tailoring treatment to your unique goals, strengths, and experiences.
Wherever you are in your journey, we’ll meet you there.

How we can help
Services tailored to meet your needs
Build self-awareness, process experiences, and gain tools & skills towards meaningful change.

Psychological assessment
Psychological assessments are conducted by a Clinical Psychologist to gain a thorough understanding of your experiences, symptoms, and patterns of functioning. The process includes a clinical interview and standardized questionnaires to evaluate concerns such as anxiety, mood difficulties, trauma, personality characteristics, and other psychological factors that may be influencing your overall wellbeing. The findings help clarify your concerns and inform treatment recommendations.
Couples therapy
Whether you’re feeling stuck in recurring arguments, struggling with communication, coping with a betrayal, feeling emotionally distant, or going through a life transition, couples therapy offers a space to slow down, and better understand the patterns that are keeping you stuck.
ADHD assessments
We provide comprehensive adult ADHD assessments conducted by a Clinical Psychologist, including a clinical interview, developmental history, and standardized questionnaires. We can also provide therapy sessions which cover practical strategies for organization, procrastination, time management, focus, and task completion.

Good to know
Have questions? We’ve got some answers
Do you offer in-person sessions?
Currently, we provide virtual services across Ontario.
Stay tuned for updates on a virtual office in York Region.
Are sessions covered by insurance?
They aren’t covered by OHIP, but most extended health benefit plans cover a registered psychologist. We provide direct-billing.
What’s the difference between a psychologist and a psychotherapist?
A psychologist holds a doctoral degree in psychology and is qualified to conduct psychological assessments, diagnose mental health conditions, and provide evidence-based therapy. A psychotherapist is trained to provide psychotherapy, but is generally not authorized to complete formal psychological assessments or diagnoses within their scope of practice.
What happens on the free intro call?
In this call, we discuss your goals and expectations for assessment or therapy. We cover what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and our style of therapy. We make sure to answer any of your questions. If it is a good fit, you have the option to book a session.
What can I expect in the first session?
The first one or two sessions will focus on getting to know you. Your clinician will ask questions about your current concerns, personal history, relationships, and goals to gain a comprehensive understanding of your experiences. Together, we’ll discuss our initial impressions and collaborate on a treatment plan tailored to your needs, goals, and strengths.
How long are sessions, and how often will we meet?
Sessions are about 55 minutes. Many people start weekly, then move to every two weeks or monthly as things progress — we’ll find a rhythm that suits you.
Can you provide a formal diagnosis?
As a registered psychologist (CPBAO), Dr. Bahl can provide formal diagnoses and psychological assessments where appropriate.
Is what I share kept private?
Yes. Your privacy is protected under Ontario’s health-privacy law (PHIPA). What you share stays between us, with a few limited safety exceptions we’ll explain clearly up front.
No questions match your search. Try different words, or contact us directly.
