South Asian Therapy in Ontario
Psychotherapist Network offers culturally sensitive, licensed therapy for South Asian individuals and families across Ontario — fully virtual, no commute required. Our registered social workers understand the unique pressures of navigating two cultures, and we accept direct billing through most major insurance providers so there is no upfront cost for you.
How Direct Billing Works
- Book your appointment — choose a therapist and a time that works for you.
- Your therapist bills your insurer directly — we submit the claim on your behalf.
- No upfront cost — you pay nothing out of pocket when your plan covers the session.
Our Licensed Therapists
Our team of registered social workers brings clinical expertise and compassionate care to every session:
- Seerat Bajwa, MSW RSW — registered social worker specialising in anxiety, depression, and South Asian family dynamics.
- Pooja Singh, MSW RSW — registered social worker with expertise in intergenerational trauma, relationships, and cultural identity.
- Vikas Keshri, MSW RSW — registered social worker supporting men’s mental health, immigration stress, and life transitions.
Therapy in Hindi
We offer therapy sessions fully in Hindi. Expressing yourself in your mother tongue can deepen the therapeutic process and help you feel truly understood. Our Hindi-speaking therapists are ready to support you wherever you are in Ontario.
Therapy in Punjabi
Punjabi-language therapy is available for individuals and couples who prefer to process their emotions in Punjabi. Our therapists understand cultural nuances around izzat, family expectations, and community pressures that may not translate easily into English.
Culturally Sensitive Care
South Asian communities face a distinct set of mental health challenges that Western therapeutic models often overlook. Our therapists have deep personal and clinical understanding of:
- Family dynamics — navigating collectivist family structures, arranged marriage pressures, and boundary-setting within multigenerational households.
- Intergenerational trauma — healing wounds passed down across generations, including Partition-era trauma, displacement, and inherited grief.
- Immigration stress — adjusting to a new country, identity loss, loneliness, racism, and the pressure to succeed abroad.
Services Covered
