Culturally Sensitive Online Therapy for Asian Teens, Adults, and Professionals in Ontario. Hi, I’m Jayoma, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a background in medicine and a deep understanding of cultural nuances. I offer real conversation and a compassionate approach to online therapy. Growing up as a child of immigrants, I know firsthand the complexities of balancing cultural expectations, family pressures, and finding your place in the world. These experiences have shaped my practice, helping me connect with clients seeking understanding and support without overexplaining their cultural backgrounds.
I specialize in working with Asian teens, adults, and young professionals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, career transitions, and questions of identity and belonging. Whether you're looking to build self-worth, make career decisions aligned with your values, or strengthen your relationships, I’m here to help.
My approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Humanistic principles, and trauma-informed care. I create a culturally aware, client-centred space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we’ll work on actionable steps toward growth while honouring your unique story and values.

Jayoma is very easy to talk to, down to earth and open minded and I feel at ease when recommending her to others. Her background in Medicine, being a person of color and a child of Immigrant parents adds valuable experiences to her skillset in my opinion.

I use ACT, CBT, and SFT to help clients break unhelpful patterns, manage emotions, and build self-trust. My approach is evidence-based but laid-back-think real conversations, not textbook talk. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, career stress, or cultural identity struggles, therapy is personalized to you. No rigid rules, just a safe space to grow, heal, and move forward.
