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.

🧠 What is Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)?

DBR is a cutting-edge, neuroscience-informed trauma therapy that helps people process unresolved trauma by working with the brainstem, the part of the brain responsible for our most instinctive survival responses.Unlike traditional therapy, DBR doesn’t start with the story of what happened. Instead, it gently tracks the sequence of internal reactions that occurred at the time of the trauma, beginning with the body’s orienting response to a perceived threat, followed by tension and emotional shock.By helping the nervous system complete these original protective responses in a safe and supported way, DBR allows for deep healing at the level where trauma is first held, often without the need to relive or retell painful memories in detail.If you’re feeling stuck in patterns of fear, hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, or reactivity, DBR might be a helpful path forward.

Pride began as protest. As we celebrate, we remember the Black and Brown queer and trans communities who led the way.At Shanti Psychotherapy, solidarity means unlearning, growing, and showing up, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Because if liberation doesn’t include queer and trans people, it’s not liberation.This Pride Month, and always, we honour the legacy, resilience, and joy of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. 🌈💖#PrideMonth #2SLGBTQIA #QueerJoy #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TherapistsForJustice #ShantiPsychotherapy #MentalHealthMatters #PrideIsPolitical

Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?Sometimes it’s not just anxiety, it’s a nervous system shaped by childhood and intergenerational trauma. When you grow up reading the room for safety, even small mood shifts can feel like danger.
