Healing Through Connection – Intergenerational Trauma Group

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.



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

Private Groups: $75.00 per person

This closed, 6-week group combines psychoeducation, interactive discussions, and therapeutic exercises, offering participants tools to address attachment styles, trauma, and family dynamics. Each session incorporates grounding techniques, including the Container Exercise, and builds coping skills through activities such as journaling, boundary setting, and visualization. The goal is to help participants transition from a state of survival to an embodied sense of safety and self-compassion.

This group also offers a cost-effective way to receive support while fostering deep, healing connections with others on similar journeys.

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 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.

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

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 tasteSlow your breath between each one and allow your body to settle. ✨✨✨#grounding #anxietyrelief #mindfulness #mentalhealth #selfcare #mentalwellness #stressrelief #calm #therapytools #mindfulmoment #presentmoment #mentalhealthawareness #selfregulation
