Asian Therapists in Vancouver, BC
Hi i’m Chloe, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and art therapist with a Master of Counselling Psychology: Art Therapy. I believe healing happens in spaces where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself, or have everything figured out. I’m a Canadian-born Taiwanese woman, the eldest of four girls to first-generation immigrant parents.
I work from a person-centred and culturally sensitive lens, with attention to both trauma responses and the strengths you carry. I’m here to honour your lived experiences while supporting you in growing beyond the systems, narratives, or diagnoses that may have shaped you.

I am an autistic and ADHD, queer, and bicultural therapist. My practice is focused on anti-oppressive and trauma-informed care for marginalized individuals including QPOC, neurodivergent, immigrant, kink and poly/ENM communities. My values best align with person-centred and humanistic approaches that build upon your strengths and inherent traits. As a certified yoga and movement teacher, I can also offer tools to help deepen your mind-body connection. I like to see myself as a supportive co-collaborator alongside your healing journey.

I'm also a Korean-Canadian counsellor and I bring a lived understanding of Asian-Canadian identities.
Heavy emotions, self-critical thoughts, feeling "not enough," and people-pleasing patterns can keep us stuck in the same loop until we start working with them in a different way. I work best at helping clients pinpoint what keeps the loop going, and helping preferred, chosen pathways become the new baseline. I support people who are: going though anxiety or depression, healing through trauma and harmful intergenerational patterns, reclaiming self-confidence, or re-creating their sense of identity. If you want to explore how we can work together, I invite you to reach out.

For over a decade, I’ve worked in the mental health and addictions field, supporting first responders, healthcare workers, and other high-functioning individuals through trauma, depression, anxiety and other challenges. I’ve sat with people who were trained to stay calm in chaos, and who quietly wondered when it became so hard to feel okay in everyday life.
Why Survive to Thrive?
Because surviving is something you’ve already mastered. Thriving is the part that deserves your attention now. My role isn’t to “fix” you, it’s to help you reconnect with yourself in ways that feel practical, respectful, and sustainable.

I provide a warm and quiet place for you to uncover the wisdom in your life. The struggles we face are opportunities to discover new horizons of meaning, perspectives that give way to purpose. I believe in building trust and rapport in the therapeutic relationship, so that each client can claim their healing and forge their paths forward. I work with those who struggle with stress, anxiety, life transitions, lifestyle (sleep, exercise, routines) and relationship issues. I also work with couples who struggle to change negative patterns in their relationships.

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 Bruce Avery, I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor and I'm the founder of Avery Therapy Centre. I work with a wide range of people who may seek increased perspective, self-understanding, and clarity in their everyday lives. I also work with people who may feel that anxiety, depression, or trauma (past/current) is hindering them from achieving a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Through my work, I hear stories of both extraordinary achievements as well as unbearable challenges. I've found the work of counselling to be incredibly fulfilling, and feel honoured when trusted with the opportunity to learn about someone’s life.

As an East Asian woman, I'm mindful of acknowledging culture, history, and social context.
Currently welcoming new clients. You’ve spent a lifetime carrying more than others see. You've often felt deeply unseen and unsupported, where your struggles were dismissed by those around you. Despite your best efforts, you still find yourself spiralling in guilt and shame that continues to follow you in unhelpful moments. I understand the need for reliable and emotionally-safe support to turn to. Each of us deserves to be seen, heard, and less alone. I’m here as a steady, soulful presence to support you in feeling more connected to yourself and the changes you’re longing for.

There was a time when I felt like I was moving through life slightly underwater, disconnected from myself and weighed down by something I couldn’t name. Over time, I realized my pain wasn’t only personal, but also shaped by the systems around me. We live in a world that often rewards disconnection, numbing, quick fixes, and performance over presence. As bell hooks says, “Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”
I'm here to walk alongside you in your unfolding: to help you remember love, worthiness, and belonging, and to access play and creativity again.
