Therapists in K1L

We specialize in helping people with Trauma, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, OCD, Relationship issues, ADHD and Self-Esteem. Our personalized approach includes but is not limited to: Dialectical behavioural therapy; Sex therapy; Mindfulness based cognitive therapy; Trauma focused therapy; and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. Our mission is to make therapy a safe and inclusive space for all. In addition to the classic therapy styles we use, we provide culturally sensitive services which allow us to support a great diversity of individuals.

I provide bilingual (French/English) psychological services to adults and older adults who are experiencing a variety of challenges including: sleep disorders, chronic insomnia, anxiety, depression, traumatic stress-related issues & PTSD, grief & significant losses, life transitions as well as adjusting to living with major life changes (including injury and illness). I also have a particular interest in working with individuals who are experiencing difficulty adjusting to living with a chronic health condition, including cardiac illness, chronic pain, inflammatory bowel disease, and men’s health issues.

The idea of change can be overwhelming and exhausting to imagine. I am passionate about helping and working alongside people who are invested in their wellbeing and seeking growth and change, even though you might not know how. We often learn various ways of adapting to and surviving our experiences. Eventually we might reach a place where we want to thrive and build connection and meaning in our lives. This shift is something that I am passionate about supporting people in creating. That can look like both internal and external change as well as exploration of what led us there to begin with.

Hello, I'm Thanh (pronounced Tang)! I work with clients who are struggling with their mental health by drawing their strengths and helping them develop greater resiliency. Issues my clients tend to face are stress, anxiety, major transition periods in life, past trauma, grief, mood disorders (such as depression), relationship problems, communication and social skills, and/or low self-esteem. Together, we collaborate to build habits and systems in response to life's challenges, and build a life that clients enjoy living rather than letting the days pass by.

You work hard to make relationships work, work hard at your job, you try your best to ensure everyone else around you is happy but end up losing yourself amid this. Even though you feel isolated, unheard, unseen you keep going. You want to stand up for yourself but don’t know how to. At times you feel overwhelmed with emotions thus feeling lost, helpless and anxious. You wonder why you connect to people a certain way and wish you could have healthier/sustainable relationships, wish you could cope better in difficult situations/be in charge of the way you express your feelings.

You may be approaching therapy thinking that there’s something wrong with you, or that you are a problem. Perhaps there are parts of you or qualities within you that you wish you could embody, but something inside keeps getting in the way. I do not believe there is anything wrong with you, or that you are a problem that needs fixing. I view human development as a process that occurs spontaneously under supportive conditions. For example, when you see a plant that looks unwell, we don’t conclude that the plant is “no good” and throw it out. Rather, we shift the internal and external conditions to support the plant in thriving.

*Accepting new clients** bilingual services. Are you going through a challenging time? Do you want to find a new balance in your life, understand and better manage your mood, anxiety or stress? Do you want to improve your relationships? or your capacity to love and be compassionate (to) yourself? Do you want to learn new skills and strategies to cope better with your strong emotions or to assert yourself? Or do you need support in a life transition and working through grief? Perhaps you just want to explore and clarify your needs, values, goals and purpose in life? If so, I will be happy to discuss all these possibilities with you!

The clients I enjoy working with want to make changes in their lives and are looking forward to a better quality of life. They reached a point where they realize that what they've been doing hasn't worked and realize they need something more and are eager to get started on a new direction in life.

Trauma, anxiety and difficulties within relationships can affect your life in so many ways. In my practice, I can help you become "unstuck", to work through and move forward from the feelings, behaviors, memories or situations that are preventing you from living how you want to. I use effective treatment approaches in a welcoming, safe and nonjudgmental environment so that we can work together towards the changes you want to make. In my work, I help those age 16+ struggling with PTSD, the after effects of trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties (including domestic violence) and childhood abuse and neglect.

Accepting new clients - I offer bilingual (French or English) virtual therapy to individuals age 16+ who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, fertility, perinatal mental health, and/or trauma. You can expect therapy with me to be non-judgemental, compassionate, and focused on your unique needs and journey. My goal is to create a safe environment where you can freely express yourself and be supported in the therapeutic process.

You’re at a time in your life when you have the whole world ahead of you… and it’s overwhelming. The pressures of perfectionism, anxiety, or a sense of being stuck, may be weighing heavy on your mind. You've just completed your education and are now faced with the daunting task of figuring out your next step. The structure of school was comforting, but now it's just you and the unknown. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed in this phase of change in your life. The world is telling you that this decision will define your future.I’m here to tell you that it won’t. You are more than your career.

The world is feeling increasingly stressful. Covid, climate change, politics, hybrid work, difficult relationships - sometimes it can all feel overwhelming. I offer a unique approach that uses counselling, yogic and coaching techniques to address issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD and low self-esteem.

Are you feeling irritable and anxious? Do your relationships have your brain spinning at night? Are you feeling trapped and unsure of what to do next? Know that you’re not alone; and it doesn’t have to stay that way. My motto is "Today is not your forever". Allow me to journey with you as you learn about your emotions so you can gain clarity, learn how you can manage them and sustain the life that you desire.

You are a changemaker or thought leader or who is invested in making the world a better place. While it seems like there’s just never enough time, your list of what needs to be done only seems to grow longer. As you work to serve others and build a stronger sense of community on the outside, there are parts of your inner world that are negatively affected, including your health and relationships. It’s hard to shake the frustration and exhaustion that you feel, throwing your personal or professional life out of balance and creating overwhelm or a sense of disconnection.

As a therapist, I prioritize collaboration with my clients to create a team-like atmosphere. I specialize in helping adults and adolescents overcome a range of mental health concerns, including relational/developmental trauma, poor emotion management, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and ADHD. I believe that with the right support and guidance, anyone can achieve lasting positive change. Through evidence-based techniques and an individualized approach, I work with clients to develop the skills and strategies they need to thrive.

Do you ever wonder why you are so anxious? Are you struggling to identify the source of your depression?
