Frequently Asked Questions
Sukoon provides virtual, evidence-based psychotherapy across Ontario, including Family Therapy, Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, Teen and Student Therapy (13+), Nutrition consultations, and Wellness services. All therapists are licensed, registered professionals trained in Culturally Adapted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CaCBT). Care is available in over 15 South Asian languages.
Family Therapy sessions are $195 for 50 minutes. Couples Therapy starts at $195 per session. Individual Therapy is $175 per session. If cost is a barrier, a limited number of reduced-rate spots are available through a confidential review — quality of care remains unchanged.
Most employer extended health plans cover sessions with Registered Psychotherapists, Social Workers, and Psychologists. Sukoon Cares does not bill insurance directly, but a detailed receipt is provided after each session for submission to your provider. If you would like help confirming your coverage before booking, our team is happy to assist.
No. While Sukoon Cares was built with South Asian families in mind — and the intergenerational and cultural dynamics that shape them — anyone who values a culturally informed, evidence-based approach to care is welcome here.
Family therapy at Sukoon Cares is flexible in terms of who joins. Sessions can include parents and adult children, immediate household members, or extended family where relevant. Your therapist will discuss the best structure for your situation during the initial consultation — there is no fixed format that works for every family.
Sukoon Cares's family therapists work with intergenerational conflict, communication breakdowns, boundary and role tensions, emotional distance, cultural expectation clashes between generations, and family patterns connected to long-standing trauma or grief. Families do not need to be in acute crisis to benefit — many come in simply to change a dynamic that has been stuck for a long time.
It can still be a valuable starting point. Progress is possible even when not every family member is fully on board at first. Your therapist can work with those who are willing to engage, and in some cases, that shift alone can begin to change how the family system moves. If you are unsure whether to proceed, a free 15-minute connection call can help clarify the right path forward.
Individual therapy focuses on one person's experience, coping, and growth. Family therapy works with the relationships between people — the patterns, communication habits, and roles that have developed over time within the family unit. Both can be valuable, and in some situations your therapist may recommend running both in parallel.
“Things at home felt tense all the time, and every conversation turned into an argument. Having a neutral therapist helped us slow down and actually listen. It’s not perfect, but there’s less conflict now.”
