Dr. Ishan SharmaMD, CCFP, Spec. (Hons.) BSc

Hi 👋

I’m Dr. Ishan Sharma and I am a family physician with a focused practice in psychotherapy & addiction medicine. I favour a transdiagnostic approach with my patients, meaning that I work to understand, uncover, and treat symptoms concurrently, that can be present across multiple diagnoses. I utilize an eclectic approach to psychotherapy, blending elements of Somatic Psychotherapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Polyvagal Theory, and Trauma-Informed Care, among other modalities.

I strongly believe that each person possesses their own innate wisdom that orients them in their healing journey and I will work with you to help uncover this. My therapeutic approach extends beyond talk therapy to gently focus on the shared present moment experience in our working relationship and how your body language tells the story of your relational and developmental history.

I specialize in helping people recover their mental well-being through helping them resolve underlying challenges with emotional regulation, attachment trauma, and interrupted psychological development. It is my goal to foster an effective therapeutic alliance with each patient, emphasizing a felt-sense of safety, trust, and sincerity in our work together.

As I am passionate about the power and potential of psychotherapy, I do not prescribe medications in my work with patients.
