Francis Psychotherapy & Consulting

Our team recently hosted The Therapist’s Lounge, a business, wellness and networking event for mental health therapists. I was so thrilled to see Camille Stephenson-Lloyd in the building. She was actually the first person to snag a ticket. Our vision is to provide the resources and knowledge that therapists need to stay encouraged, refreshed and grow their practices. #therapists #networking #entrepreneurship #wellness

Confession: I don’t like the term “Black Excellence.” Throwing it back to a few months ago when I gave a keynote to the lovely audience at the Carleton University School of Social Work Black History celebration (which they rightfully hosted beyond February). 🎤 In this address, I shared about the heavy cost of needing to be excellent all the time - which is what society expects of Black individuals. What does that do to our families? What does that mean for those of us who aren’t necessarily the cream of the crop? Do we lose our value if we’re not “excellent?” What are your thoughts? Let’s discuss below ⬇️ #keynote #allyship #mindset #blackexcellence #psychotherapy #ontario

I'm Alicia Panchal~ Registered Social Worker/Psychotherapist. Therapy is a great way to begin exploring where you feel unsure or uncovering the obstacles keeping you from living the life you desire. This is a part of my story. Growing up I felt misunderstood like I wasn’t being heard. I had no idea how to be aware of my thoughts and feelings, let alone communicate them to someone else. It was confusing, isolating, and aggravating. It definitely affected how I acted towards myself and those around me. As an adult, I began to see how these past feelings affected my life. It made me think how great it would have been for the younger me to have someone to talk to. As a therapist, my work with you is grounded in transparency, empathy, and respect. We’ll develop a collaborative relationship to ensure that we work toward your goals. My South Asian background allows me to easily identify with various populations. I have insight and can validate experiences that may have not been fully understood. Let's talk.

"At best, perpetrators of microaggressions are unaware of their behaviour; worst, they know they are hurting people and continue to do so because, well, there’s no law against making these kinds of remarks."~ Wanja Gathu Mental health resources typically define microaggressions as indirect, subtle or unintentional acts of discrimination against members of a marginalized group, including racial and ethnic minorities. In 2014, an American study of 405 young adults of colour found that experiencing such acts can lead to suicidal ideation. Recently a Toronto firm, in partnership with several diversity advocacy groups, launched a digital tool called the Micropedia of Microaggressions. It’s filled with examples of various microaggressions, to comments based on age, class, disability and sexuality. https://lnkd.in/gnPw4sut #mentalhealth #diversityequityinclusion #psychotherapy

I have colleagues working with eight clients a day, on a bagel, a cup of coffee, and no bathroom breaks. The demand for mental health support has skyrocketed in the last few years, but that doesn’t mean therapists have been able to keep up with the pace. There's a trend across our industry. Particularly with those who work in private practice. People were feeling exhausted and burned out. This Summer, once again, I'm hosting The Therapist's Lounge Saturday August 17 & Sunday August 18 In fact it's the 4th annual event. 😏 Why should you save the date? Let's face it. Typically when therapists have the opportunity to gather, the conversation is strictly client-centered and focused on ensuring quality care is provided to the communities they serve. This gathering centers on the mental health needs of you - the professionals. The goal of The Therapists’ Lounge is for professionals to know that just because they can do it alone doesn’t mean they should. Community, Connection and Collaboration. A limited number of early bird tickets are available. Join us and the support, camaraderie, and networking opportunities essential to your success. https://lnkd.in/gWJYTs97 #networking #events #psychotherapy #mentalhealth #ontario #toronto
