Tej Neringer(she/her)
Tej (rhymes with ‘page’) has over two decades’ experience working in both corporate and client-facing roles in the health care field.
Meet Tej :
Her educational background includes undergraduate studies at the Ivey School of Business, an MBA from City University in London, as well as a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Further to this, Tej has also obtained certification as both a Chartered Professional Accountant and a Project Management Professional.
Tej became interested in psychology after a life-changing experience receiving therapy in her 30’s. After 20 years working as an accountant, market analyst, project manager, and consultant in the pharmaceutical industry, Tej pivoted to a more hands-on role as a Registered Psychotherapist. Tej’s combination of counselling skills and lived experience gives her a unique perspective as she supports a wide range of clients ages 18+.
Tej takes a client-centred, integrative approach with clients, personalizing each therapy session at our Oakville clinic in a safe, accepting, non-judgmental, trusting manner. This combination of warmth and wisdom forms the basis of Tej’s care as she serves as a trusted, female therapist in Oakville. Tej uses a variety of therapeutic approaches, including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Walking Therapy.
Tej is a proud member of both the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, as well as the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals.
On the personal side, she enjoys spending time with her teenage son and activities such as yoga, travel, and baking. She cherishes outdoor time spent hiking or playing golf, and is not afraid to admit that she is a fan of very bad reality television.
