Amrit smiling warmly in a bright, airy studio

Amrit Gill

MSW, RSW

I am a firm believer that our environment and relationships play a large role in shaping our mental health, and well being. I strive to offer a safe, and supportive, environment for you to understand your thoughts, feelings, and actions - helping you move forward and live your life the way you want.


My practice starts with you, wherever you are in your life. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, allowing me to tailor therapy specific to your needs and concerns, in a non-judgemental environment. My practice is influenced by radical acceptance, mindfulness, and compassion.


I value individuality and believe each person is the expert of their own lives, and sometimes all we need is for someone to listen and help us put things into perspective. It is my belief that healing occurs differently for everyone, and there is never a one-size fit all approach.

Anna Sgambato

MSW, RSW

I am a therapist who will listen with genuine curiosity, and work with you to uncover your own internal wisdom. Together, we will learn more about your strengths, unique perspective and values. It can be helpful to remember how these have evolved, even with life’s challenges related to stress, trauma, loss and oppression because of race, culture, spirituality, gender expression and sexuality.


My therapy style has been described as warm, collaborative and down-to-earth, while supporting people to learn more about what’s important to them, and how this helps to feel energized. I like to ensure that you are getting the most from our time together, while valuing your input and being respectful of your pace.

Client Reflections

  • “I was nervous about starting therapy because I didn't know how to explain what I was feeling. Therapy has helped me see that I don't need the perfect words—or a breaking point—to deserve support. Sometimes, beginning means simply admitting that I'd like things to feel different.”

  • “I used to think asking for help meant I wasn't coping well enough. Therapy has become a space where I can be honest, understand myself with more compassion, and learn what I need. Opening up still takes courage, but I've learned I can take it at my own pace.”

  • “Therapy is one of the single most important decisions I've ever made. And I am so grateful I worked up the courage to make it. When I walk into that room with my therapist it feels like the weight of whatever is happening is lifted or, at least, a little lighter. For as long as I am there I can let go of expectations placed on me (many of them by me) and just be human. Over the last 5 years working with BBCC I have truly learned what coming back to myself, finding balance, and feeling peace means. Sometimes therapy is easy and sometimes it's HARD but I wouldn't change a second.”
