Have you ever felt like you needed help but didn’t know where to start? I have. As a newcomer to Canada, I struggled to adjust to a new life while juggling the weight of stress, experiencing nostalgia, longing to be with my family and friends, adapting to a new culture, seeing snow for the first time in my life for months, adjusting to the day getting short in winter, to losing my grandma during COVID and the inability to be there for her last rites, this put me in a state of freeze for months to follow.

I told myself, “It’s not serious enough to ask for help,” but deep down, I wished there was a safe, judgment-free and culturally relevant space where I could just be.

That’s why I created bookmytherapy. I realized I wasn’t alone—many others, especially women like me, faced similar barriers to mental health support. Long waitlists, limited options, and the overwhelming stigma surrounding therapy made getting help feel impossible.

I couldn’t just stand by. With bookmytherapy, our mission is simple: to make mental health support accessible, relatable, and stigma-free. We organize workshops, support groups, and initiatives designed to bring people together and create spaces where healing feels natural.

It hasn’t been easy. But knowing that even one person feels less alone because of our work makes it all worth it.

Today, bookmytherapy is more than a platform—it’s a community. A place for anyone seeking connection and well-being.

Because mental health isn’t a luxury—it’s a right. And together, we can make that a reality.
