Groups & Workshops

Groups and workshops allow us to offer psychotherapy services cost-effectively. They are structured to foster a sense of community and belonging, where you realize you are not alone in your struggles. The group dynamic encourages empathy, understanding, and shared experiences, which can be incredibly validating and comforting. Additionally, group therapy offers diverse perspectives and insights, which can help you gain new coping strategies and solutions.

Our workshops are structured learning environments where you acquire new skills, knowledge, and techniques to enhance your mental well-being, promote personal growth, and increase self-awareness in a supportive and collaborative atmosphere.

This group provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore, understand, and heal from the deep impact of intergenerational trauma and attachment wounds that come from the suffering within our families.



We help you identify, engage, and support international students with strategies to normalize emotional conversations, reduce stigma, and create safe pathways for them to accessing mental health care.

Group & workshop sessions are a cost-effective way to receive therapy and education. Most Insurance plans cover our fee.




About Shanti Psychotherapy

Team Shanti @ Thrive 2025

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.

We believe 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.

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. Additionally, Nirupa Thana works in our Pickering office, serving clients in Scarborough, Pickering and Ajax.

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.

Most healthcare plans recognize our professional designations and will reimburse you for our services.

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.#mentalhealth #mensmentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealth #maletherapist
