Chris is a therapist who understands life and human existence can be difficult, lonely, stressful, and sometimes even helpless and hopeless. Chris is concerned about existential questions that everyone must face, human existence, the meaning of life, dying and death etc. In his view, to help clients contemplate those questions would shed light on the client’s deeper understanding/feelings about their lives, empowering them, and helping them get out of the existential trap they are in now.
Chris sees his role in the counselling room is to support you in telling your story, explore your deeper emotions, and team with you to travel through life’s darkness. Chris works from a client-centred humanistic approach to support you in working towards individual goals, such as personal growth, relationship improvement, and healthy coping strategy.
“I am honored to be with you, team with you, and work with you. Thank you for opening the door and inviting me to enter your world.” — Chris Hao

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement there after.

I often combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During the treatment, I'll help you learn how to cope with those thoughts and feelings for the better.
