INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

Navigating culture, race, and immigration

Culture and Race Therapy might be perfect for you if:

It feels like you live in different worlds, constantly code switching or choosing which side of yourself to show

You feel exhausted, waiting for the next comment or micro aggression to drop

You grew up in a family that didn’t talk about mental health, and handed down some unhealthy relationship patterns

You want to honour your heritage while at the same time build a new life and family for yourself based on your own values

You want a deeper understanding of your racial or cultural identity, on your terms

Our therapists have lived their own experiences as women of colour and first-generation Canadians.

We are trauma-informed, and practice anti-racist and anti-oppressive therapies.  We are passionate about supporting racialized individuals that want to take the step towards naming and healing trauma.

Access and embody the generational strengths and wisdom that already live within you

  • Show up as you are - embraced, welcomed, and valued as your whole self

  • Recognize generational trauma for what it is and begin to heal for yourself and your future generations

  • Find a soft and safe place to land where you can talk about the weight of navigating the world as a person of colour

Pricing & Details

How does it work?

We will work with you to honour your history while building your future. You’ll be able to accept your history and parents as they are, to heal and protect yourself in a system that wasn’t designed for you to thrive, and to heal together in community.
