About Us

Antar (aka 'looking inward' in Sanskrit) provides culturally relevant emotional support for South Asians in North America. Our therapists can help clients navigate bi-cultural identities, anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship problems, family systems, personal development, sexuality, and gender in a way that also honours their heritage and culture through remote sessions.

We support you from the start till the end, even if it means referring you out!

When we first started dating, everything felt perfect. But after marriage, balancing careers, family expectations, and our relationship became overwhelming. We struggled to communicate without falling into cultural patterns of silence or avoiding conflict. Antar's couples therapy was different - our therapist understood the delicate dance of maintaining our cultural values while building a modern partnership. They helped us find our voice as a couple while navigating the complexities of South Asian family dynamics. Today, we're stronger because we learned to blend our traditional roots with open, honest communication.

Work sucks the life out of me. I needed Antar to focus and find my own voice. The therapist actually understood the pressure of being a South Asian woman in tech - from imposter syndrome to family expectations. For the first time, I didn't have to explain my cultural context to feel understood.

Growing up as an American Desi in a Punjabi household, I constantly felt caught between two worlds. There’s a lot of intergenerational trauma that I’ve been trying to unravel on my own. Antar's therapist actually understood this cultural tug-of-war without me having to explain the basics. They helped me find ways to honor both parts of my identity while setting healthy boundaries with family.

My experience with Antar has been nothing but phenomenal. From reaching out to getting matched I have had constant support and my questions were answered in a prompt manner. It is often very difficult to reach out for help - but I never felt negatively asking for help - only empowered. Once being matched, I was able to build trust and open up about my peri-menopausal stress, work, kids and life - everything that has been buried deep- in one session. Having someone who understands cultural aspects at play while able to lead through a session was a unique experience in itself. I would recommend Antar to anyone looking for mental health support in a heart beat!

As a startup founder, finding the right mental health support that fits my unpredictable schedule has been challenging. Antar has been a game-changer! What stands out is their flexibility - having 4 sessions that I can schedule at my convenience rather than being locked into fixed time slots has been invaluable. The 15-minute trial session helped me get comfortable with the process, but what really impressed me was how quickly I connected with a qualified therapist. After spending months with my previous provider trying to find the right fit, this was refreshing. The best part? Having someone who truly gets it - someone I can bring all my doubts and challenges to without fear of judgment. It's like having a neutral sounding board who helps me process everything from business decisions to personal growth. For anyone juggling the demands of startup life while trying to maintain mental wellness, I highly recommend giving Antar a try!

Antar has been helpful in helping me work with my feelings in a way that helps me have more agency. It’s been super helpful to lower the barrier for receiving help by having the cultural context in place to understand all the pressures and expectations! I look forward to more sessions.
