Therapists in Richmond Hill, ON

I do not have an ideal client, as every single client is treated as a unique individual who shows their vulnerability and seeks empathy and support in a non-judgemental space.

The pathway to finding the right therapist can become challenging. The search and decision in selecting the right therapist to walk with you through your journey of healing, self-discovery and progression can become confusing and disheartening. It is important to explore and investigate into the various therapists that best matches to your personal needs and goals. Mai is a registered psychotherapist that has a strong commitment to supporting individuals through their journey of challenges to promote progression and healing. Mai has extensive experience with children and adults of all abilities including individuals with Autism.

I provide psychotherapy which is grounded on listening and understanding. There is much for me to hear before I get the full picture of what is going on in your life, and lots to discover for you and me together before the time comes for my expert advice. My main discovery of the last decade is that people can come to many therapists, for many times and yet not become ready ever to say openly what is the matter. It is why I know my clients need time to assume that I am really on their side. To figure out, bit by bit, what the possible advice or solution can be and then help you to do that we decide to do, I have my basic training in client-centered psychotherapy (“by Carl Rogers”), and I am a very, very orthodox Rogerian therapist. In addition, I have studied cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectic-behavioral therapy, music psychotherapy and non-directive child play psychotherapy. I will apply in your situation that which matches your particular needs. Also, I realized that some ideas of psychoanalysis, Adlerian psychotherapy, Existential therapy and Logotherapy can be helpful as well.

Louise Erdrich wrote: “Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.” Let's start your healing journey together, fellow passenger of Life.
