Dr. Sundeep Thinda
My work in psychology spans more than two decades and began in Calgary, Alberta, where I completed undergraduate training and developed a strong foundation in mental health.
I later earned both my Master of Arts and Doctor of Psychology degrees in Clinical Psychology while living in Missouri, a formative chapter that shaped the trajectory of my career. Early on, I focused on clinical and forensic psychology, gaining experience with diagnostic work and treatment across a range of complex presentations. Over time, my interest shifted toward clinical rehabilitation psychology, where I supported individuals coping with serious injury, chronic pain, and psychological adjustment. I worked closely with people navigating workplace trauma, motor vehicle accidents, and the emotional toll of sudden life changes.
In 2011, I transitioned into full-time independent private practice, where I focused on assessment, treatment, supervision, and teaching (Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Simon Fraser University).
I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, mentoring graduate students, and training professionals on trauma, rehabilitation, and culturally responsive care. My approach has always blended rigorous clinical knowledge with a clear-eyed, practical view of how people can improve their lives in ways that are sustainable and real. In December 2024, I also formally retired from therapy-based practice and teaching and shifted my focus to medical-legal assessment and consultation.
