Canadian Therapy Revolutionizes Mental Health Support for Cultured Communities, Focusing on South Asians and Beyond
Canadian Therapy, a pioneering mental health center in Toronto, is transforming the landscape of psychotherapy and counseling with a profound focus on cultured communities, particularly South Asians, Eastern Europeans, Asians, and other closely-knit groups. With a commitment to dispelling stigma and providing specialized support, Canadian Therapy is making strides to bridge the mental health gap within these communities.
“We seek to help and support our clients to have a better understanding of themselves so they can show up every day as their best self,” says Preeti Taneja, Founder of Canadian Therapy. The clinic’s website, http://www.canadiantherapy.com/, serves as an accessible platform for individuals and couples seeking tailored therapy solutions.
Recognizing the alarming underutilization of mental health services among South Asians, Canadian Therapy is on a mission to bring about change. Drawing from compelling research data indicating lower rates of seeking treatment among these communities, the clinic has assembled a passionate team of therapists dedicated to making a positive impact.
With an emphasis on culturally sensitive approaches, Canadian Therapy offers a comprehensive range of services encompassing anxiety, depression, couples counseling, and relationship support. Its team of diverse therapists, fluent in languages including English, Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, and Malayalam, ensures a comfortable and supportive experience for cultured communities.
According to the Statistics Canada Community Health Survey, South Asians exhibit the lowest rate of seeking treatment for depression among various ethnic groups (Gadalla, 2010).
Subsequent research, based on the 2002 Canadian Community Health Survey with 36,984 respondents aged 15 and older, demonstrated that South Asians, followed by Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, and Blacks, had the lowest likelihood of seeking treatment compared to White groups (Gadalla, 2010).
Among those who experienced a Major Depressive Episode (MDE), Black groups had the lowest rate (25.1%). Additionally, a separate survey conducted on South Asian senior citizens in Calgary revealed a depression rate of 21%, more than twice the national average of 10% for Canada (Islam et al., 2014). As a South Asian woman herself, Taneja resonates deeply with her fellow South Asians, comprehending their mental health struggles and self-esteem dilemmas. Her mission is to guide individuals towards a balanced, healthy mind, founded on trust, compassion, and understanding.
A seasoned therapist, psychotherapist, and social worker, Taneja brings 14 years of experience to the company and is dedicated to fostering healing and mindfulness within cultured communities. Specializing in supporting individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, and relational challenges, she offers a safe, judgment-free space to actively listen and empathize.
