We are a grassroots, community-centred psychotherapy practice dedicated to serving the needs of individuals and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. Collectively, our multicultural team of therapists brings decades of experience in compassionate, culturally informed, and confidential therapeutic care. Our goal is to provide the latest and most effective therapies in a way that is accessible, affordable, inclusive, and welcoming for everyone.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you because you’re not broken! Even when facing mental illness, relationship or life challenges, we focus on your unique needs as a foundation for enriching your mental wellness and personal growth.
In Person and Online Therapy
We can work with you in person at our safe and welcoming clinics in Toronto and with Anhad Kaur and Tulsi Radia at our satellite clinic in Etobicoke. In addition, our online services are available to clients in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. Look out for Shanti popups through our community partners, Laadliyan and Regent Park Mental Health Matters.
Your first 20-minute consultation with us is always FREE.
We bill directly to Green Shield Canada.
Many healthcare insurance providers recognize our professional designations and will reimburse you for our services.

Many of you left home, perhaps for the first time, to experience the joys and pitfalls of independent living. We learn a great deal from students and young people in India, China and other places who are preparing for this transition. The palpable excitement of what lies ahead often overshadows the reality of the invisible burdens they will carry as international students in Canada, specifically with their mental health.
Break the Good Girl Archetype & Heal Intergenerational Trauma
The Good Girl Archetype is a culturally embedded trauma response and survival strategy of past generations inherited by young South Asian women of today. Blind obedience, emotional suppression, perfectionism and self-sacrifice shape their lives creating chronic anxiety, people-pleasing, shame and guilt. Healing from this type of intergenerational trauma is possible, and it starts with accepting that your worth does not depend on self-sacrifice.
Dealing with Anxiety: Understand The Neuroscience
Psychotherapists often use the analogy of a three-legged stool to help clients dealing with anxiety understand the neuroscience. Each leg represents a separate aspect of anxiety: the thinking mind, the physical body, and the emotional system. Managing anxiety requires addressing all three. Consequently, understanding the interconnectedness of the legs can provide effective and empowering strategies for dealing with anxiety.

We acknowledge that the land we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. It is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
