Family Therapy in M4T

I have experience working with, and for, individuals and their families across the lifespan, navigating non-suicidal self-injury and self-harm, personality disorder, emotion regulation difficulties, eating disorders/disorder eating, body image, and trauma. I also work with athletes and performers to address the mental health concerns that exist for these individuals within their larger systems on and off the field/court/stage.

As an Individual, Couple & Family Therapist I am passionate about supporting clients in creating meaningful and sustainable changes in their lives and relationships. The decision to seek therapy and the process of finding the right therapist can be challenging. Without the right fit it can be difficult to open up about your challenges and get the support that you need. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, warm, caring, and respectful therapeutic environment where you can trust that you will be heard, understood, and offered appropriate and effective support.

As a social worker born and raised in Hong Kong, I bring with me a deep-rooted belief in the importance of family-based practice for fostering optimal child and youth development. Throughout my dedicated professional practice, I have specialized in providing compassionate support to children and their families facing diverse challenges, recognizing the crucial role parents play in their child's development. Central to my approach is the creation of a safe, warm, and supportive space for young clients to explore their emotions, empowering them to tap into their inherent resilience and strength to achieve well-being.

In 2017 my heart led me into the field of mental health counselling. After going through my own journey I knew that making a difference in the lives of those whose suffer was what I wanted to do. As a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counsellor I am here to tell you that you are not alone, that there is hope, and that with dedication and consistency you can improve your life. Receiving my training at the Caron Organization in Florida my specialities include working with mood and anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse, disordered eating, family and relationship strain, and life transitions.

We provide compassionate and holistic mental health care for adults, adolescents, and children. Our approach recognizes the whole person, mind and body. We specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and relationship issues.

I enjoy working with a variety of clients, helping them to live a more fulfilling life. I provide a comfortable, non-judgemental, and safe space for individuals and couples to develop a better understanding of themselves thus gaining insight into feelings, thoughts, behaviours and patterns. A wide range of individuals, from all walks of life, achieve their goals through psychotherapy and counselling since everyone encounters difficulties at some time in their lives. As for couples therapy, it allows partners to identify and overcome individual vulnerabilities and defences that may lead to negative patterns in their relationship.

Well done! You have taken the first step to reach out for a happier and healthier life. Self-compassion is one of the keys you will achieve in moving beyond an eating disorder. Your journey can start now! I am a Registered Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in working with adolescents and adults who have coped with eating disorders, disordered eating, low self-esteem, anxiety and/or depression and family/couple relationship conflict. I completed my Internship at Southlake Regional Health Centre in the Eating Disorder Program while completing my Master’s degree of Social Work.

Are you feeling overwhelmed because of transitions or difficult life circumstances? Do you struggle with boundary setting in your personal and work life? Do you feel stuck and alone because you are not fully heard or accepted as who you are? Are you tired of being a people pleaser? As a Chinese Canadian therapist, it is my passion to help Asian and minority populations who are struggling with low mood, anxiety, confidence and boundary issues, as well as emotional wounds from childhood/family or origin. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment to help you unravel emotional chaos through a cultural lens.

Seeking therapy is a radical act of self love. It takes courage to reach out when in pain or transition. Wanting support is a sign of the impulse to thrive. I hold space for you to heal your attachment and other wounds. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and have a Masters of Psychology, with a private practice in downtown Toronto. My special interests include transitions across the life span, attachment and trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, Post Traumatic Stress, newcomer and multi cultural issues, intersecting with LGBTQ issues, women's mental health, transitioning genders, and newcomer issues.

Life presents us all with challenges and I believe one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is the opportunity to heal and grow. There are many paths to healing and growth, and my experiences have taught me that they are possible through authenticity, acknowledgement, and connection. If you are struggling or feeling stuck or uncertain on your path to healing and growth, please know that therapy can help you move through the ups and downs of this journey.

At Embodied Resilience, our team of specialists, each with personal lived experience in their area of expertise, is dedicated to guiding you through the unique challenges you face. We understand that living with ADHD requires navigating your own path, not conforming to a standard mold. Whether it's difficulties in expressing yourself or setting boundaries, we are here to enhance communication across all your relationships—be it with friends, family, or romantic partners.

For the past 15 years I have worked with youth and families who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues or relationship difficulties. Often the clients I support are families who are experiencing conflict, whose members are feeling disconnected or teenagers and young adults who are struggling with intense emotions and engaging in behaviours that are concerning to themselves or their caregivers. I work well with people who are interested in transforming themselves and their relationships rather than those who are focused on symptom reduction alone. In addition, I work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma.

I specialize in intensive couple therapy to create safe, and secure-functioning relationships. I explore attachment styles (developed early in life) so that couples understand why they say and do the things they do. With my guidance, couples define mutually-shared agreements that will provide a framework for operating as a team. And with this shared vision, they can learn to successfully manage any disagreements or disappointments that life may bring. My goal is to help each couple feel they are safe and secure, in each other's care, no matter the issue. I am a Level 11 PACT therapist.

When problems take over our lives and relationships, a wide range of concerns may be present. We seek understanding, solution and relief from the grip that the problems have on us - problems. I provide counselling services to address your relational, emotional and behavioural issues from depression, anxiety, anger, and grief to parenting, relationships with children, spouses, pre-marital, common-laws, blended families, and beyond. Our collaborative conversations will support you in gaining new understanding, exploring alternative solutions, and get relief from the grip of problems.

I am an experienced social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in family mental health - treating children, adolescents and adults. Therapy is a powerful treatment for those experiencing emotional difficulties. It helps people overcome negative feelings, reduce stress, improve relationships and increase general well-being. Every individual is unique and there is no one therapeutic technique that is right for everyone. I offer therapy using evidence-based techniques that are uniquely tailored to best suit your needs.

Our feelings are a compass pointing toward personal growth and movement. I have learned to listen to and respect these feelings and I can help you to do the same. My approach is honed through years of clinical work with children and families. Through this developmental lens, I can help you bring context to your concerns, see unhelpful patterns, and change portions of the picture that don’t serve you so you can show up differently in small moments and in big ones.

Over my years of practice I have found a focus on working with women and couples struggling with fertility, sex and intimacy, anxiety, pregnancy, postpartum mood disorders, and complex family structures. With a Masters in Social Work (MSW, RSW), and as a certified Perinatal Mental Health Clinician (PMH-C), I work to best support my clients in reconnecting with themselves, recognizing their gains, and processing and grieving their losses. Our focus is on the path ahead, while acknowledging where you came from.

My practice offers counselling to young people, adults and specialized separation/parenting services for families. Challenges experienced by clients may include: navigating family change, stress, anxiety, peer/romantic relationships, self-regulation, and managing behaviours (ADHD, OCD, ODD). As a Collaborative Family Professional, I work with parents wanting to minimize conflict for their family as they go through transition and change. I provide emotional support throughout the out-of-court process, help caregivers build skills to co-parent, and neutrally facilitate meetings during the collaborative process.

Welcome! Do you need guidance to help launch you into the next phase of your life? Feeling lost or unsure of how to proceed? Are you struggling with addiction or recurrent self-sabotaging patterns? I will help you determine what is holding you back from being the person you are meant to be and where your blocks are. I use a holistic method, looking at the entire person- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual and offer a variety of healing and coaching tools. Client's will be met where they are, with a personalized program adapted to fit their unique self and situation. Whatever your situation, we can work on a plan together.
