Pavna K. Sodhi

EdD, RP, CCS (she/her)

Instructor, Foundations of Supervision

With over 25 years of psychotherapeutic and research experience, Dr. Pavna Sodhi (she/her) has interacted with a multitude of populations in various supervisory, academic, and EDI spaces. Her professional background and personal narrative offer a unique research perspective regarding culturally responsive trauma-informed work, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) communities, and immigrant mental health. Pavna’s research has been featured in national and international scholarly journals and books. Her widely acclaimed book, Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy for BIPOC Communities: Decolonizing Mental Health (Routledge), was published in June 2024. Content from her book is supported by intergenerational BIPOC narratives, who share their intersectional lived experience of systemic oppression, migration, trauma, identity formation, and mental health concerns. She is currently writing a chapter regarding decolonizing counsellor supervision as well as a companion workbook (for her 2024 publication) to help practitioners/clients apply these concepts in their own work.
