Neil Choudhuri, MP, BSc

Hi, I’m Neil! I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Barrie, Ontario. I hold a Master’s Degree in Psychotherapy from the University of Guelph and a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of California, San Diego. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I earned a Primary Care Paramedic Diploma and served for over five years as a medic in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Starting therapy can be a big step, and I believe it begins with finding someone you feel comfortable talking to. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, relational challenges, a difficult life transition, or questions around identity, I aim to create a space of curiosity, warmth, and collaboration where you can authentically express yourself, make sense of the challenges you’re facing, and move toward meaningful change.

I view therapy through a systemic-relational lens, meaning I consider you within the context of your relationships, life experiences, and the broader systems that shape your world, such as our family, communities, and culture. My approach is grounded in Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy and is also informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).

I work with individuals (ages 14+) and couples, offering both in-person sessions in Barrie and virtual sessions across Ontario. I welcome clients from all walks of life, and I am particularly drawn to working with couples, first responders, and veterans. I’m also interested in working with newcomers to Canada and individuals identifying as BIPOC and/or 2SLGBTIA+. Together, we can identify what’s already working, make sense of difficult experiences, and explore practical
steps toward the life and relationships that matter most to you.
