Toronto, Canada - As conversations surrounding men’s mental health continue to gain urgency, Krish Dhir was recently featured on Omni News TV during Men’s Mental Health Month on June 13th, 2025. Additionally, he was asked to contribute to another special topic, centered on a new study released in Canada, which focuses on the importance of social connections in buffering the harms associated with discrimination, on July 25th, 2025.
The televised feature underscores Krish’s ongoing efforts to destigmatize mental health struggles among men, particularly high-achieving professionals, and provide culturally competent, trauma-informed therapy across Ontario, Alberta, and Nova Scotia.
Krish is the Clinical Director of Krish Dhir Social Work & Psychotherapy Services, a practice he founded in 2022 to fill a critical gap in services for professionals and men and meet the surging demand for psychotherapy in the post-pandemic era. His mission is rooted in creating safe, goal-oriented therapeutic environments where clients can explore their emotional worlds without fear of judgment or stigma.
"Men are often socialized to be stoic, to bottle up emotions, and to equate vulnerability with weakness," Krish shared during the Designer Practice Podcast interview with host Kayla Das. "But we know that suppressing emotions has a profound impact on mental well-being, often leading to anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and even substance use.”

A Personalized, Empowering Approach to Therapy
With over 13 years of clinical experience, Krish provides therapy for professionals across a wide spectrum of industries, including healthcare workers, government employees, executives, teachers, first responders, entrepreneurs, and creatives. His evidence-based methods are uniquely tailored to the complexities of high-functioning individuals who often suffer in silence.
Krish’s approach integrates multiple therapeutic modalities, including CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, and CPT, alongside culturally sensitive care for racialized and BIPOC communities. He is fluent in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu, allowing him to connect with clients both linguistically and culturally, fostering deeper emotional understanding and trust.
"My goal is to normalize help-seeking behavior among men," says Krish. "Therapy is an investment in yourself and your future. Every session is about equipping you with the tools to overcome personal and professional challenges with clarity and confidence."
Addressing the Men’s Mental Health Crisis
Men’s mental health remains a public health crisis in Canada and globally. According to the World Health Organization, men account for 75% of suicide deaths globally, and suicide remains one of the top causes of death among Canadian men under 50. Despite this, men are far less likely to seek professional help due to harmful gender norms, lack of awareness, and systemic barriers.
Krish’s advocacy and therapeutic practice tackle these issues head-on by:
- Debunking myths such as “men don’t cry,” “men don’t suffer from eating disorders,” and “men are strong.”
- Promoting positive masculinity that embraces emotional depth, accountability, and authentic connection.
- Offering practical, goal-driven therapy that resonates with the logical, results-oriented mindset many men relate to.
- Educating clients about nervous system responses, trauma triggers, and self-compassion is an often unfamiliar but essential concept for male clients.
