Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in North York, ON

Hidden stress, untreated trauma, fears, long term anxiety and depression can easily cause psychical illness. Bodily signs can be different according to gender and age. Unwrapping those hidden factors can help women with pelvic pain, irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, lack of desire, constipation or sexual difficulties. Erection problems, sex life changes or even an overactive bladder can be physical symptoms of hidden stress for men. Children often experience bed wetting, stomach pain, constipation or voiding difficulties without any medical conditions. My speciality is to help in these psychosomatic conditions.

Our focus at Dr. Lin & Associates is achieving growth and healthy change, and to this end, we provide a variety of services that allow our clients to develop the skills they need to meet their goals.

In the four decades of my work in the mental health field I have learned to tailor my approach to the unique needs of the individuals with whom I work. My training in psychodynamic and interpersonal therapies has helped sensitize me to the complex developmental and family roots of our personalities and struggles. I will help you determine the kind of healing that is the best fit at the current stage of your life journey. I am aware that some people will want to consider medication as a complement to psychotherapy. Although I do not prescribe medication my experience enables me to guide a person who may wish to consider meds.

My ideal client is willing to engage in self-reflection, explore the deeper existential issues related to his/her predicament, and discover the pathways of actualizing his/her potential and dream. Such a client can be a new college graduate struggling for a better understanding of her self-identity or a senior questioning his life's meaning. The issues I am best suited to addressing are both the dark sides of the human condition-such as depression, anxiety, anger, loss, suffering, and death-and the bright sides of personal growth and flourishing.

People experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, behaving and being. Our uniquely individual and neurodiverse brains are wired to work differently. These differences affect our perceptions, responses and social interactions. I strive to ensure that clients feel heard and seen and accepted for exactly who they are and where they are, at any point in their lives.

My practice is client-led, gentle, and catered to individual needs. My goal is to assist in overcoming anxieties and stresses through a shift in perspective. Sessions are catered towards clients' understanding of established emotional and behavioral patterns, embracing their experiences, noticing their strengths, and appreciating their uniqueness. Trained in Educational Psychology, Art Therapy and Compassionate Inquiry (Gabor Mate) I focus my practice on assisting my clients in gaining awareness and autonomy through compassion for the self.
