Traditional Approach

Our Approach

  • Focus on Individual Issues:
    Treats personal mental health problems but may miss broader social and cultural contexts.
  • Limited Cultural Sensitivity:
    Therapists might not fully understand specific cultural backgrounds.
  • Focus on Symptom Reduction:
    Aims to reduce symptoms and may involve medication, but might not address deeper feelings of loss or confusion.
  • Standardized Techniques:
    Uses general, impersonal methods that may not address unique cultural challenges.
  • Limited Time Frame:
    Sessions are short, limiting deep exploration of cultural issues.
  • High Cost:
    Therapy can be expensive, especially without insurance.
  • Long Wait Times:
    Often has long waiting periods due to high demand.
  • Exploration of Identity and Values:
    Helps individuals explore identity, belonging, and values.
  • Challenging Assumptions:
    Encourages questioning societal norms and expectations.
  • Finding Purpose in Difficult Situations:
    Helps find meaning and purpose in the face of cultural challenges.
  • Broader Perspective:
    Looks beyond symptoms to understand the bigger picture.
  • Open-Ended Exploration:
    Allows for more time and personalized discussion.
  • More Affordable:
    Lower cost compared to traditional therapy.
  • Faster Response and Flexibility:
    Quicker response times and more flexible scheduling than traditional therapy approaches.

About Us

Bridging Keystone Identity was founded out of a deep awareness of the challenges faced by newcomers to Canada. Having observed and experienced the difficulties of adjusting to a new culture, we recognized that access to public resources can often be hindered by a lack of understanding and awareness of how Canadian society operates, combined with conflicting cultural expectations.

We start with you in mind. Our journey together begins with a free initial appointment designed to understand your specific challenges and emotions. This initial introduction allows us to build a custom plan tailored to your unique needs and experiences, ensuring that you receive the support you need to successfully navigate your new environment.
