Asian Therapists in Vancouver, BC
As the daughter of low-income immigrants, I intimately understand the complexities of navigating bicultural expectations and growing up with limited resources. I bring firsthand experience that allows me to deeply grasp the complexity and importance of incorporating an intersectional framework. Growing up, I rarely encountered BIPOC representation, making it more meaningful for me today to serve as a woman of colour counsellor. I have consistently sought roles in the helping profession that involve supporting others. I offer various forms of support to families and individuals with a wide range of mental health needs.

Have you ever felt that you appear to be doing well on the outside while quietly struggling within? Anxiety that is hard to explain, repeated hurt in relationships, or a lingering sense of exhaustion can leave you feeling lost or disconnected. Therapy offers a calm, non-judgmental space to gently explore your inner experiences. It is not only about solving problems, but about reconnecting with yourself, understanding emotional patterns, and moving toward a more grounded and meaningful way of living.

My expertise is in working with difficulties related to relational dynamics, especially those found in Asian/ Asian North American contexts and families.
I primarily work within a psychodynamic psychotherapy framework. This means we will talk about whatever you wish, but I am always interested in your relational and emotional being as these are keys to your healing. I'm also interested in helping people untangle and develop new perspectives to their past, current, and future faith expressions.

I believe that reaching out for support is a courageous and meaningful step. I understand that this can bring up many emotions, and my goal is to offer a compassionate space where you can feel safe and understood. I aim to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, heal self-doubt, and reconnect with a sense of hope and direction. As a mother of a child with autism, I also understand, in a personal way, the joys, challenges, and emotional layers that can come with caregiving. This lived experience helps me hold space with empathy and care for the diverse ways individuals and families navigate life.

Welcome! I am a first-generation immigrant and my first language is Mandarin. I work with young adults with a focus on anxiety, depression, grief, intergenerational trauma, emotion regulation, and people-pleasing tendencies.

Together we can work on helping you safely process emotions such as anger and shame, regain self-compassion, and feel confident in relying on yourself and others again.

Do you struggle with self-blame, fear of judgment, or saying no? Are you taking on too much responsibility or feeling unproductive? Many of my clients like you feel pressured to meet high expectations and avoid mistakes—not just from perfectionism, but from a fear of letting others down. They may internalize criticism and ruminate on perceived faults or 'failures,' which fuels a cycle of anxiety and self-doubt. For some, this stems from past experiences where expressing needs wasn’t encouraged, or they were told they were 'wrong' for how they felt. You may feel unseen, or not enough, which can drain energy and block self-care.

We are living in extremely challenging times - witnessing the rise of fascism, genocides, war, displacement, and climate change. For BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, women, people with mental health issues, and others of marginalized identities, it is exhausting to exist in this colonial & capitalist world. These systems were not built for us. They constantly extract from us and undermine our worth. It is important to know that you matter and deserve to be heard in a space that does not blame you for not doing or being enough. I support people of marginalized identities & allies to process their grief, honour their rage, and heal their wounds.

waitlist - You've spent so much of your life trying to "fit in" and be the person everyone else wants. Maybe you don't remember when the need for approval became constant self-criticism, or when you started to tear yourself apart every time you made a mistake. Maybe you find it hard how to say "no" to someone else, no matter how stressed-out it made you feel. Maybe you don't even remember a time you didn't feel like this.
Either way, one thing is for sure: you're ready to feel some relief, to put an end to your sense of overwhelm, guilt, and obligation. You want to stop doubting yourself and actually own your time and enjoy life.

My name is Veronica and I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia. I hold a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology (MCP). In the past, I have worked directly with individuals experiencing a range of diverse issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and sexuality-based issues. Most commonly, I witnessed many of those individuals feeling pain and suffering alone. Intimacy and sexuality can be difficult to discuss and can impact your mental health and well-being.

My approach to counselling is a psychodynamic, person-centred, and trauma-informed approach. The psychodynamic approach can help us gain new insights into our lives, and by integrating art into the session, it can become a powerful mind-body-oriented resource for individuals to look into themselves, and at their concerns, from a different angle.

For over 20 years, I’ve worked with issues such as anxiety, depression, anger originating often from childhood that often seeps into today’s relationships and reality. Therapy is about creating the life we truly want to live. This can be especially difficult in today’s chaotic society. In childhood we absorb various message from family and society, and. develop coping strategies to protect us from criticism or judgment, but over time, they can turn into beliefs that end up limiting us.
Together, we’ll gently uncover and untangle these patterns, making space for new perspectives and healthier ways of being.
