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 start Lotus Wellness Psychology Clinic—a practice dedicated to providing mental health care that is accessible, culturally responsive, and genuinely empowering.
Wherever you are in your journey, we’ll meet you there.

How we can help
Services tailored to meet your needs
Build self-awareness, deepen understanding, strengthen relationships, and develop practical tools and skills to help navigate challenges and transitions – individually or as a couple.
Individual therapy
Personalized therapy to help you navigate challenges, understand patterns, and feel more equipped with tools to manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. We support a wide range of concerns and tailor therapy to your individual needs, strengths, and goals.
Psychological assessments
Psychological assessments can help bring clarity to concerns that may be affecting your wellbeing. Through a comprehensive clinical interview, we work to understand your experiences, symptoms, and patterns, including concerns related to anxiety, mood, trauma, ADHD, personality, and more. The results can clarify a diagnosis and guide personalized recommendations, such school or workplace accommodations, referrals to additional supports, and information to help guide conversations with a physician or psychiatrist about medication when appropriate.
Couples therapy
Relationships can feel strained for many reasons — recurring conflict, communication difficulties, betrayal, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, fertility and family-building challenges, pregnancy and postpartum transitions, parenting stress, or other significant life changes. Therapy can help you better understand what’s happening between you and move forward with greater clarity, connection, and intention.
ADHD assessments
We provide comprehensive adult ADHD assessments, which includes 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. Depending on your needs, sessions may also address emotional overwhelm, frustration, and heightened sensitivity to criticism or perceived rejection—while helping you build greater emotional awareness, self-compassion, confidence, and healthier ways of responding.
Consultation
Dr. Bahl offers clinical consultation to mental health professionals working with adults. Support may include guidance on client cases, case conceptualization, therapeutic approaches, treatment planning, differential diagnosis, complex or overlapping presentations, professional and/or ethical boundaries, and processing clinician’s thoughts, biases, and reactions. Consultation provides a collaborative space to reflect, strengthen clinical decision-making, and approach your work with greater clarity and confidence.

Good to know
Have questions? We’ve got some answers
Do you offer in-person sessions?
Yes! In Richmond Hill (Leslie/Hwy 7 intersection).
Are sessions covered by insurance and do you provide direct billing?
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 during the free introduction call?
In this call, we discuss your individual or couple 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 or the couple. 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. Sessions can be shorter or longer, depending on your preferences. 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.
