Individuals choose to seek out therapeutic support for many reasons. Within therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to achieve each person's individually set goals. Therapy can help relieve anxiety that stops you from enjoying everyday activities, assist you in overcoming past challenges and traumas, and introduce strategies so you can relate better to individuals in the present. I provide a safe, non-judgemental, and caring environment in which you can explore the impact of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships on your daily life and start to change these in order to achieve balance and personal strength.

Finding the right therapist is as important as getting the right help. In the process of seeking who you would prefer to work with, we offer a free 20 minute consultation over the phone. If you decide to make an appointment, the first session has no strings attached. We will go through what the concerns are, some goals, and expectations (if any), and you can decide whether you are ready for us to continue with further sessions. Collaboration is essential in this process of finding a path to your healing. Take the next step and give us a call to see if we can work together. Our office hours are M-F 8am-8pm and Weekends.

Hello, thank you for visiting my profile. Chances are that you may be experiencing some stress, dissatisfaction or disenchantment in your life. These are completely normal facets of the human condition and looking into some outside supports is one step to address these often difficult feelings. I acknowledge that this can be a frightening process and want to assure you that I will meet you where you are at. I have over 8 years of counselling and psychotherapy experience in hospitals, community and government settings. I have helped individuals of different ages, backgrounds and cultural groups with a wide range of difficulties.

Many people experience difficulty managing their emotions or feel “stuck” in life. Collaboratively, we will work together towards meaningful change. My approach is informed by Emotion-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioural, and Acceptance and Commitment therapies. I provide therapy to teens and adults, with particular expertise in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma/abuse. I have several years of experience working in hospitals, community mental health centres, university counselling centres, and private practice. My style is warm and non-judgemental, priding myself on helping clients feel comfortable, safe, and understood.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, stuck, down, anxious, stressed, or seeking answers? Would you like to improve your health and well-being and create deeper healing, improved relationships, lasting change, and transformation in your life? Perhaps you find yourself lacking time, focus, energy, drive, connection, and have no idea how to start improving things. We all have times in life when we may feel this way. With everything going on in the world these days, it's not easy to not feel this way. But you can finally stop trying to do it all alone now. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support.

Are you looking for a therapist who shows interest and willingness to listen to you non-judgmentally? I am a patience, gentle and a skillful therapist, and am ready to walk along with you to find a way out. I have extended working experiences with individuals and couples with diverse ethnic and cultural background who experienced depression, anxiety, borderline personality traits, anger issue, loss and grief, and trauma. I am particularly passionate in individuals' mental health and wellness, and care givers who experience exhaustion as a result of looking after a loved one with chronic mental or physical illnesses.

Through a collaborative approach to treatment, Michael's team aims to help you move forward and to approach life FLEXibly. Treatment services include individual and group work. Assessment services are available for learning, emotional/personality, and other specialized services (e.g. adoption; lawyer requested; MVA).

Making the decision to disclose difficulties and seek out psychological services can be challenging. I work collaboratively with adult and adolescent therapy clients to develop a clear understanding of problems, building agreement on the core tasks of therapy to lead to meaningful changes. I utilize my training in Emotion-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioural, Psychodynamic, and Integrative therapies to address a diverse range of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma (eg. sexual assault, childhood abuse), and personality difficulties. The foundation of our relationship will be our focus on establishing and maintaining a strong working-alliance rooted in empathy and trust.

In my work with clients, I take a client-centred approach that respects people as being the authority on their own experience and recognizes the key role that emotions play in our lives. I use an integrated approach to counseling that is informed by various therapeutic modalities as well as by my extensive clinical experience, but always with a focus on the uniqueness of each individual and customize the treatment plan according to individuality. Over the years, I have effectively helped many people adjust for better lives - helping them learn the strategies and tools necessary to resolve their difficulties and build on their strengths.

In this fast-paced, demanding, and constantly changing world, the majority of us are experiencing different levels of stress in our daily lives. Most of our stresses are created by the pulling between two opposite ends. One end is need, responsibility, change, family, work, relationships etc. The other end is want, calm, fun, consistency etc. My work is focused on how to walk in the middle of these two ends and still have a life full of meaning. My practice is providing a safe and supportive environment, focusing on the here and now and strengthening self-awareness.

**Not Accepting New Clients at this Time, Thank You!** Whether you are new to therapy or looking for a fresh perspective, I work with people who feel overwhelmed and stuck. Stuck in their grief, fears, or memories. Stuck in a job or a relationship that no longer satisfies. Stuck with intense emotions that can hijack the mind and derail daily life. What can help at this point is someone who can relate to you personally as well as explore the patterns that may be playing themselves out, but are no longer serving you. This way, nothing you have been through needs to limit where you go from here.

Life is full of challenges, obstacles, and stressors that we all face within our lives. Even with our best efforts to try to "fix" our problems, or "get over" negative feelings, these challenges continue to persist. When they persist, it is important for us seek out the assistance of a qualified professional. Seeking out professional help is not a sign of weakness or personal failure. It is a sign of strength and a sign of wanting to live a healthier and authentic life.

I am a registered Social Worker Therapist. I believe that change is possible and there is hope to lead a meaningful and fulfilled life. Our experiences can lead to difficulties with our emotions, moods, patterns of thinking and relationships, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, out of control or just stuck. I provide clients with support and tools to recognize their needs and then meet these needs. I work with individuals and/or their families to improve the quality of their life. Emotional well-being enhances a person's ability to better deal with the stresses of life, change unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.

I understand there are a lot of psychological and interpersonal needs of the people living in the Great Toronto Area, including Markham, Richmond Hill and others. I especially want to serve the population speaking Mandarin and Cantonese. Their tradition is keeping every conflict and stress inside so that they may miss the early chance to receive professional help for their mental health and their strong families. They may experience more pain, stress, and struggle before they seek for psychological counselling and psychotherapy. I understand their culture well and can provide better services to reach a healthier person, couple and family.
