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.
Rina Daya
Rina approaches psychotherapy with a strong background of professional and personal experience. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Education and Montessori teacher training from Association Montessori Internationale and has taught in classrooms in New York City for ten years.
(she/her)
She is also a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and obtained her Bachelor of Social Work degree from Dalhousie University and Master of Social Work degree from Toronto Metropolitan University. Rina’s career shift was inspired by a desire to work with families and individuals more closely by examining the impact of relationships, social stressors, environmental factors, and cognitive patterns on client well-being.
Her work is informed by attachment theory and is person-centered. She takes an eclectic approach, combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She has a special interest in trauma and grief, as well as supporting parents of young children. Rina works with teens and adults. Outside of the therapy room, Rina spends most of her time with her twin daughters watching movies and cooking together. She also enjoys being outside in nature, exploring different cultures through local events, and being bad at crochet.
