Where Clinical Care Meets Community. Evidence-Based Care. Collective Growth.
Therapist-led group programs designed around shared experiences, cultural context, and evidence-based care.
GROUP THERAPY
Some things are easier to work through when others in the room already understand — without needing the whole backstory. Our group programs bring together people navigating shared experiences, led by registered clinicians grounded in evidence-based practice. Whether the focus is perfectionism and performance, anxiety, or a specific cultural pressure, our groups are structured to be clinically rigorous and genuinely useful.
Note: While our group programs are rooted in culturally adapted approaches, they are open to individuals of all backgrounds. Anyone meeting clinical eligibility criteria is welcome to participate.
CURRENT GROUPS
Our Sukoon Groups are therapist- or psychologist-led programs designed around specific experiences and challenges. Sessions are offered on a pay-per-session basis, so there is no upfront commitment to the full program. A small deposit is required at registration to reserve a spot; this is applied toward the first two sessions.
Sessions are eligible to be claimed under extended health benefits as psychotherapy services. We recommend confirming coverage details directly with the insurance provider.

A receipt is provided after each session for reimbursement purposes.

Group sizes are intentionally kept small — typically 8 to 10 participants — to allow for meaningful engagement and a genuine sense of community within the group.
Given the structured nature of our programs, consistent attendance matters. Specific attendance and cancellation policies are shared with participants before the group begins.
