Shruthi Venkatesh Ranga Rao
I'm Shruthi a first generation Indian-Canadian, a parent to a wonderful child, and a psychotherapist. I've always loved listening to and telling stories. To me, therapy is much like storytelling: it's about understanding our individual and collective experiences and finding meaning in how we heal and grow from them.
