From day one, we wanted Catharsis Therapy to feel like a place where you could feel safe the moment you walk in.

A cozy couch. A hot coffee. A quiet room where you can just be yourself.

Whether you’re here in person or online, we hope Catharsis feels like a small corner of calm in a loud world. 💜

Catharsis Therapy was established in 2020 to address the lack of mental health services available for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) individuals, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and women in Ontario. Co-founded by two Black women, Nereah Felix and Karoline Achille, our mission is to provide accessible and culturally responsive psychological treatment to the community. We are committed to bridging the gap and ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, has access to high-quality mental health support.

Last year, we started recording our first podcast, The Cathartic Experience. Though we’ve gotten many listens, we’ve decided that it’s finally time to promote it further. Every Wednesday, we’ll promote one of our podcast episodes. In our podcast, we try to remain as candid and real as possible. Check it out! We hope you can relate to our discussions and/or our experiences in the world as two people just trying to survive and make sense of this crazy world.
Our content is available on 6 different platforms! Anchor: anchor.fm/catharsis8 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0lS6hR06nk1CMyy7ZrmxXH
