Rina Reddy
MACP, RP Registered Psychotherapist
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and an independent contractor here at Rebound Total Health. Having experienced life transitions and challenges at the age of 13, I knew I wanted to grow up to be the person who would have helped me out. I have always had a passion for helping people which is what drew me to pursue a career in mental health and psychotherapy. I know it can get challenging when facing these transitions or issues alone and I am here to support you through these struggles with a heart full of empathy and compassion. With me, you will find someone rooting for your success and we collaboratively navigate your life transitions!
I am a firm believer that the client is the expert on their life which is why my sessions are client centered. I’m here to equip you with the knowledge, skills and the support you may need in navigating the obstacles or challenges weighing you down so you can journey through your struggles effectively, achieve your goals and get back to leading a fulfilling meaningful life.

Working with me
Worth mentioning
As clients decide who they want to work with for counselling, there’s lots to take into consideration! Here are some additional perks you should know of!
Life experiences and work in this field has taught me that keeping an open mind can create a safe space for exploration and collaborative problem solving and discovery. I approach my clients with neutrality and an open-minded objectivity waiting to hear their stories.
I have been told that I have an easy-going approach which makes it easy for the clients to feel safe enough to form a connection and find support in their struggles.
I am flexible when it comes to bookings, session formats and therapeutic approaches so we can find what works best for you!
What does a session with me look like?
I believe each client is unique and that the client is an expert on their life. My session energy matches the client’s energy. If you laugh, I will laugh with you. If you cry, I will support you through your vulnerability. My sessions provide a client centered environment where a client can sit in ease and talk about anything they wish to talk about. I start out sessions by checking in with how they are doing and how their week has been going so far before reviewing the progress made so far. I invest time into meeting the client where they are at and building a strong therapeutic relationship in which the client feels safe and supported enough to discuss the vulnerabilities. Everything from the pace of a session to the treatment plan and goals are collaboratively planned together with me.

My approach
My role is to provide clients with the support they need and draw from different therapeutic approaches to tailor and collaborate on a unique treatment strategy and plan that suits the client best.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Increases your understanding of the connection between our thoughts, behaviors and emotions and the influence they have on each other. Helps you identify the core beliefs that lead to negative thought patterns.
EMDR
A trauma-focused approach in which the client focuses on a trauma memory, while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (eye movements). This allows for reduction in the emotion and distress associated with the trauma memories.
Client Centered
Take an active role in your growth and progress as you are the expert on your experiences while I support you through your journey to change and grow.
Integrative Approach
One size does not fit all because each individual in unique! I use an integrative approach utilizing knowledge and skills from various therapy models to create an individualized treatment strategy or plan, based on your unique needs.
