Helps you identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that impact how you feel.
Teach you to slow down, become more present, and respond to stress with greater awareness and care.
Supports you in understanding, expressing, and healing through your emotions in a safe space.
Combines acceptance and change strategies to help with intense emotions, relationships, and coping.
Recognizes how trauma shapes your experiences and centres safety, choice, and empowerment in the healing process.
Connects body and mind by using gentle awareness and movement to support nervous system regulation and healing.
A therapy that helps the brain reprocess and release distress from traumatic or overwhelming experiences.
We believe that your complexities should be taken into consideration during therapy. A great way to do this is to have a therapist that reflects your unique identity and can relate to the factors that have impacted your mental health.
Having an East Asian or South Asian therapist can be very beneficial for those whose mental health has been shaped by familial, cultural, or religious dynamics. A therapist who has either experienced or witnessed these dynamics in their own life can be better suited to help you unpack and understand how your racial identity has affected you.
By matching with the right therapist who understands your positionality, you can spend less time “explaining yourself” and more time focusing on your treatment.

Working with an East Asian or South Asian therapist can create a space where cultural identity, lived experiences, and systemic challenges are deeply understood without the need for explanation. For many, this can be a source of safety, affirmation, and healing, especially when navigating issues like racial trauma, intergenerational patterns, or identity. While every therapeutic relationship is unique, shared identity can offer a foundation of resonance and trust.

Our Commitment to Our Communities
For far too long, people of colour have been underrepresented in the mental health space, both as providers of psychotherapy services and seekers of those services.Our lived experiences and observations led us to understand that one of the most fundamental areas of change needed in our field is for better representation of its professionals. We want people, no matter their journey or their identity, to feel seen and heard as they navigate their healing.
