You can love your family and still have limits.
Setting boundaries can feel especially difficult when love, loyalty, gratitude, and responsibility are closely connected.
What we can explore together
Guilt and people-pleasing
You may feel torn between your own needs and the fear of hurting or disappointing loved ones.
Changing family roles
We can explore expectations around caregiving, marriage, independence, finances, and being the person everyone relies on.
Practicing boundaries with care
Therapy can help you clarify what matters, communicate with more confidence, and tolerate the discomfort that change sometimes brings.
Care that considers the whole person
Our work begins with listening to your experiences and understanding what you hope to change. Together we can identify meaningful goals, consider the influence of relationships and culture where relevant, and adjust the pace to your needs.
Sessions are offered virtually across Ontario by Ritushaa Rajendram, MSW, RSW. Therapy is available in English and Tamil.
Depending on your concerns, individual therapy, couples therapy, or another type of support may be more appropriate. We can discuss fit and next steps before beginning.
Questions you may have
Will therapy tell me to cut off my family?
No. We explore what healthy relationships and boundaries mean to you.
What if my family does not understand boundaries?
We can focus on choices and communication within your control while acknowledging real relational and cultural complexities.
What to expect from therapy
We will begin by understanding your concerns and goals, including how your experiences and relationships may shape what you are going through. Sessions are collaborative, culturally responsive, and paced according to your needs. You can ask questions about the process and revisit your goals along the way.
