Cancer Affects Your Mental Health, Too.

Cancer affects your mental health and seeking support for your mental wellness through this journey is not just a nice-to-have. It can be crucial for the best possible outcome. We have ample evidence indicating how our bodies and minds support each other. A healthy body promotes mental wellness, and robust emotional well-being can boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, and offer resilience to stressors.

What I Learned About Setting Boundaries from Eating Cheese

In families where healthy boundaries don’t exist, introducing your own can feel like cutting off a limb off of your family’s whole. People may protest, accuse you of being difficult, or even downplay the pain you’ve experienced. But here’s the truth: nobody ever wants to set a boundary. It’s never the first choice, and it’s almost always uncomfortable.

Approaching Difficult Conversations: The Window of Tolerance

The Window of Tolerance is a framework for understanding how capable we and others are of dealing with stress at any given moment. Understanding it allows us to engage in challenging situations and conversations with others, with productive outcomes.

Land acknowledgments lack meaning without action. Please learn more about Indigenous Canada.

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.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step and it’s totally okay to feel a little nervous or unsure. The first session is really about getting to know each other and making sure you feel safe, seen, and supported.

We’ll talk about things like consent and confidentiality, what’s been bringing you to therapy, and what you’ve been struggling with lately. I’ll share how I work and we’ll explore how we can tailor the process to meet your needs. We might set a few gentle goals, and you’re always welcome to ask any questions that come up.

Think of it as laying the foundation for a space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered, at your pace, and on your terms.

Trauma doesn’t always announce itself loudly.

Sometimes, it whispers through anxiety, guilt, sleepless nights, physical tension, or conflict in relationships.

These signs might feel “normal” if you’ve lived with them for a long time, but they could be your body and mind asking for care and healing.

At Shanti Psychotherapy, we understand that trauma can show up in many forms, especially for those navigating complex identities, immigration experiences, or family dynamics that carry unspoken pain.

We’re here to support you in making sense of your story, reconnecting with your strength, and finding new ways to cope, at your own pace, with compassion.

💬 Therapy can help with:
✨ Processing past experiences
✨ Managing anxiety, guilt, and irritability
✨ Improving sleep and physical well-being
✨ Navigating family and relationship challenges
✨ Rebuilding your sense of self-worth

You don’t have to carry it all alone.

📅 We offer a free 20-minute consultation to explore if therapy feels like the right step. Click the link in our bio to book or learn more.

I recently had the opportunity to participate with the @globalnews important feature, in response to the Auditor General’s report calling for urgent reform in Ontario’s youth mental health system. This is not new knowledge and continues to be a longstanding issue that we all need to attend to.

I’ll say yes to any opportunity that amplifies the need for prevention, equity, education, and early intervention!

My message was simple: we cannot keep working in silos!
Mental health services alone are not enough.
Our youth will only thrive when systems—schools, families, health care, housing, education, and community supports—are resourced and working together.

That means supporting schools and our teachers.
That means addressing food, housing and income insecurity.
That means embedding equity into every part of our response.

Youth mental health is not just a clinical issue.
It’s a systems issue. A justice issue. A human issue.

Let’s listen to the call—and do better.
For our youth, for their families, and for the future we’re all part of shaping!
