You built a new life from the ground up.

We're here to help you feel at home in it.

Moving to a new country asks a lot of you. A new language to live in, new systems to learn, work that may not match your experience, and people you love living far away. Even when the move was your choice, it can be lonely, and it can be hard to say so when everyone back home thinks you're living the dream.

At Black Onyx, we offer therapy for newcomers to Canada who need a place to set it all down, where your culture and your family are welcome in the room.

Therapy for Newcomers & Immigrants in London, Ontario

Is This You?

  • Feel caught between two cultures and not fully at home in either

  • Miss home, family, or the person you were before you moved

  • Carry the pressure of family expectations here and back home

  • Are tired from starting over with work, school, language and paperwork

  • Feel alone, even when you're surrounded by people

  • Are raising children in a culture different from the one you grew up in

You deserve support that understands where you've come from.

Several of our therapists understand this journey. Mousumi Saha, Registered Psychotherapist, brings lived experience of South Asian culture and the immigrant experience, and focuses on immigrant and newcomer experiences, intergenerational patterns and family conflict. Bisma Gulzar, MSW Student Therapist, works with immigrant, newcomer and cross cultural experiences, South Asian communities, and family and intergenerational patterns. Ayah Abusamaha, Registered Social Worker, supports clients with cultural identity and navigating life between different expectations. Tehreem Fatimah understands the struggle of being an immigrant and balancing different cultural expectations. Therapy can support you when you feel:

  • Homesick, isolated, or unsure where you belong

  • Anxious or overwhelmed by everything that is new

  • Pulled between your family's expectations and the life you want

  • Weighed down by what you went through before or during your move

  • Ready to build a life here that still feels like yours

Sessions are available in person in London or online across Ontario.
