Sometimes all we feel is an overwhelming sensation that we are failing at living our lives and honouring our parents and families' sacrifices. 

We may feel lonely, confused, unsure of ourselves, and may even doubt the smallest of decisions we make.  

These feelings can change and shape the way we relate with our family, partners, children, friends, and interestingly enough…even money. 

Setting boundaries, navigating life challenges or working through trauma can feel scary and frankly, sometimes we might even wonder if what we experienced truly was that terrible in comparison to others and worth unpacking. And when you do decide to explore these feelings and thoughts, you want and deserve to feel safe.

Imagine walking out of a session feeling unheard and misjudged, or worse, feeling a need to defend your choices, religion, culture, or family. 

As a South Asian, immigrant, Muslim woman, and person of colour, I recall walking away from my therapy session feeling exactly that: UNHEARD and MISUNDERSTOOD. Empowering Roots was born from a desire to offer culturally sensitive, and holistic therapy to those carrying multiple identities.

At Empowering Roots, each session will help you feel heard, supported, and seen….We are here to help you feel EMPOWERED and support you on your healing journey. 

Our therapeutic experience involves creating a space that celebrates YOU - your strengths, challenges, uniqueness, and heritage while tackling any challenges you may be facing. Together, we'll explore different approaches and techniques that fit your needs. Because let's be real—therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all deal. It's about finding what clicks best for you and making the journey as enriching as possible to help you become an EMPOWERED You!
