Feeling Overwhelmed by Parenting? You're Not Alone.

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life—but it can also be one of the hardest.

If you've ever wondered:
💛 Why does my child react this way?
💛 Why do I keep responding in ways I don't want to?
💛 How can I stay calm and connected when everything feels overwhelming?

Our 8-week Circle of Security® Parenting Group can help.

Facilitated by Bhakti Shah, a therapist with a special focus on supporting parents and caregivers, this evidence-based group helps you better understand your child's emotional needs while building confidence, connection, and compassion in your parenting.

Together you'll learn how to:
✨ Understand what your child's behaviour is communicating
✨ Build a stronger, more secure relationship
✨ Navigate big emotions with greater confidence
✨ Reduce parenting stress and strengthen family connection

This isn't about becoming a "perfect" parent. It's about learning to understand your child—and yourself—with greater curiosity and compassion.

Group Details
📅 Thursdays: September 10, 17, 24; October 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29
💻 Virtual across Ontario
⏰ 75–90 minutes each week
💲 $320 for the full program
✔ Flexible payment plans available (2 or 3 installments)

If you've been looking for practical, supportive guidance in your parenting journey, we'd love to welcome you.

✨ BIPOC Affinity Group Supervision for Emerging Therapists ✨

Starting out as a therapist can bring up so many questions — about clinical work, confidence, identity, boundaries, and finding your own way of practicing.

I’m opening a BIPOC-only group supervision space for newer therapists (including those just coming out of practicum) who are looking for relational, somatic, and supportive supervision as they grow into this work.

This is a space to bring your real cases, questions, uncertainties, and moments of “am I doing this right?” — without having to explain, shrink, or translate your experiences.

Together, we’ll explore clinical practice, embodiment, nervous system awareness, and what it means to develop your voice as a therapist while being held in community.

Led by Sasha Sky, Indigenous Somatic Therapist & Supervisor (RP)

🗓 Every second Wednesday
⏰ 1:00–3:00 PM
🌱 BIPOC Affinity Space | Relational • Somatic • Reflective

If you’re a newer therapist looking for supervision that feels grounding, supportive, and honest, I’d love to connect.

Please send an email to: [email protected] if you're interested

A note from the Facilitator, Beth:

I have designed this workshop series for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous helpers, including counsellors, social workers, wellness workers, and community-based practitioners. The curriculum is based on my years of professional practice as well as interdisciplinary research which I am engaged in as part of my PhD in Indigenous Studies with Trent University. My research focuses on understanding the unique needs of healing trauma and dissociation in our Indigenous communities, with particular attention to cultural resurgence, relational healing, and collective responses to colonial harm.
