Larô Therapy is a thriving virtual psychotherapy practice established in 2020, dedicated to providing identity-affirming psychotherapy to the Filipino diaspora. Our commitment is twofold: ensuring excellent client care and fostering clinician wellness. We believe that when our therapists are well-supported, they can provide the best care to their clients.

As leaders in Filipino Canadian mental health, we actively work to destigmatize mental health within our community. Our mission goes beyond therapy—we are fostering a cultural shift from shame and isolation to connection and care, making mental health support accessible.
