Amar Randhawa: Creating Space for Healing and Growth

  • Amar Randhawa: Creating Space for Healing and Growth

Amar Randhawa knows that healing is never a straight path—and that’s exactly why he’s committed to walking it with others. Amar offers support to individuals and families dealing with mental health struggles, addiction, and trauma. His approach is rooted in lived experience, honesty, and compassion because he himself has walked through the pain to find his purpose.

Amar came to a turning point after overcoming his own personal battles: to either stay stuck in his struggles or use that pain to grow. He chose growth and now helps others find peace, meaning, and joy in their lives, even in the middle of difficult circumstances.

Amar works as a recovery coach, mindfulness-based stress reduction facilitator, interventionist, outpatient group facilitator, alongside his team that provides counseling services. But more than that, he’s someone who listens without judgment. Each plan he creates is tailored to the unique needs of each client and their family. Whether someone is just starting to seek help or already in recovery, Amar meets them where they are—with patience, understanding, and a clear path forward.

Amar’s work in the field of mental health and addiction is different because of how real and personal it is to him. He very well understands the shame, fear, and cultural stigma that can stop people, especially in South Asian communities, from asking for help. That’s why his mission is to build trust and create safe, supportive spaces for open conversations.

Amar and his team are known for a holistic approach to wellness, combining practical strategies with mindfulness, emotional regulation, and long-term goal setting. Amar believes in building genuine connections and community. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—and he has built a network where people can support and inspire one another as they grow.

Every success story fuels Amar’s mission. He’s seen children reconnect with parents, relationships rebuild, and individuals find joy again. For him, there’s no greater reward than watching someone reclaim their life.

If you or a loved one is struggling, know this: help is here, and change is possible. All it takes is one step, and Amar is here to walk the rest with you. Reach out to him at amar_randhawa1@outlook.com or 604 401 3640.
