About Shanti Psychotherapy

For over 25 years, Shanti Psychotherapy has actively committed to providing culturally relevant mental health care to clients of all ethnicities, cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. Our expert team of multicultural therapists not only brings their lived experiences to the table; more importantly, we continue to immerse ourselves in decades of scientifically backed clinical research on the unique needs of immigrants and BIPOC populations in their mental wellness journey. This equips us with practical and meaningful insights to holistically manage your patients’ mental health care.

Patient Triage

Please use the secure Physician Referral Form to submit patient referrals, or download an editable PDF using the button below, and fax it to 1 (647) 722-4575.

We triage all referrals from medical professionals. If we are unable to assist your patient, we will connect them to OHIP-covered or other services so they do not return to you without direction to address their mental healthcare needs.

Men’s mental health is often shaped by silence. Many men are taught to “push through,” stay strong, or handle things on their own, even when something feels heavy inside.

Struggling doesn’t mean you’re weak. Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, irritable, or exhausted doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human.
Mental health support isn’t about fixing you, it’s about having space to speak honestly, at your own pace, without judgment.

Therapy support is available for men who want a supportive space to talk. Reach out to connect with Michael Chu, our men’s mental health expert for a free 20 minute consultation using the link in our bio or on our website - it’s okay to talk about it.

Grounding techniques are tools that help regulate your nervous system by engaging your senses. When anxiety takes over, your body may go into “fight, flight, or freeze.”

Bringing awareness to your surroundings helps signal to your brain that you are safe in this moment.

Try this 5-4-3-2-1 method:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste

Slow your breath between each one and allow your body to settle. ✨✨✨
