Hi, I'm Karen Zhang a registered psychologist focused on adults at MindFit, a leading psychology clinic (or as prefer to say, "mental health gym"). Just like a "typical" gym, MindFit was designed to be accessible and inviting to anyone looking to improve their emotional well-being. From day one, I will do everything I can ensure to ensure you feel heard, supported and valued. My approach is structured (with weekly handouts), evidence-based, and designed to help you develop practical and effective skills and strategies to not only cope, but thrive!

It can be difficult to adjust to change and transitions, especially against the post-pandemic landscape. Maybe you’re experiencing workplace/school stress, burnout, changes in mood, feeling out of control, or difficulty finding a balanced routine. It can be helpful to have someone in your corner.

When painful events happen and difficult emotions come up, of course we want to push it away and distract ourselves from it all. However what we resist, persists and no wonder you are feeling burnt out and disconnected. I'm glad that you are finally prioritizing your own needs and thinking about getting help. I believe that healing happens within a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship. Let's make a plan together to develop some strengths and skills to move forward. You deserve to feel better.

Are you struggling with managing life challenges and in need of a space to voice? Maybe your mind feels boggled tangled up, unsure of what to do next? Through therapy, I can help you explore, unpack, and process those challenges. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I have experience working with the following: Disability, Sleep, Anger, Relationship Issues, Self-esteem, Internet and Video Game Usage, Anxiety and Depression.

What if there was a solution to transform your relationship? You've been stuck in never-ending cycles of arguments or complete emotional detachment from your partner. You need change but unsure what to next. No matter how hard you've tried on your own—having conversations, going on date nights, reading books, or even seeing a therapist—there's still a disconnect. You're craving emotional connection, effortless intimacy or sex, and healthy communication. You want to take control of your relationship's future as you are worried these unresolved issues will jeopardize your family, your happiness, your future and your lifelong dreams.

Life is full of challenges. We don't always have a choice what challenges we face. But we can choose how we view or overcome these challenges. I believe that we each have our own reserve of resilience waiting to be tapped into. Most of the time we have the strength to face these challenges. Sometimes we reach out to our friends and family for support and that is all we need. At other times, these challenges can overwhelm us and our system of support. We feel alone and helpless. When you are ready for change, let me support you in embracing your challenges and turn them into opportunities to learn something new about yourself.

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, sad or frustrated ? Is this impacting your day to day life and/or affecting your relationships? If you struggle with any of these emotions and don't know know where to turn, we can help! At Therapy Heals we offer a custom approach for each of our clients! We want to understand where you are now and the challenges impacting your ability to feel your best and be happy. We offer a safe space with in-person or virtual appointments to suit your schedule so that you can begin your journey to healing.

We go through different seasons in our life physically and metaphorically. I see myself as an emotional companion to my client's journey through their most challenging seasons. My goal is to support you through the winters of your life, and even inspire you to enjoy them! My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally-inclusive, LGBTQ2S+ allied, body and sex positive, nonjudgmental, and strength-based, as to ensure that you feel safe enough to be yourself. I see healing as a creative, personal, and non-linear process in which we gain insight over our lived experiences.

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.

I'm a trauma-informed therapist using a relational approach to help client transform unhelpful patterns, live more freely and fully, find lasting joy, and build satisfying relationships. In you I see a unique and complex person with your individualised temperaments, feelings, relational patterns, and unmet needs. In therapy, we dissect your distress from a compassionate angle and fathom how the past is affecting our present difficulties. Positive changes follow as we get to express what was repressed, clear blockages, hence expand the freedom to make self-directed choices in life. I'm trilingual and speak English/Cantonese/Mandarin.

We are committed to helping individuals overcome the numerous struggles which are personal injury such as car accident or work injury, chronic pain, depression and anxiety, the overwhelming effects of grief and loss, separation and divorce and the many other crisis of life. Our goal is to empower our clients to realize the potential they have been given for success, happiness, and build healthy coping skills. During times like this, we provide psychological assessment and intervention to use of a digital platform that provides secure, encrypted, audio-video conferencing to communicate with a client in anywhere needing our service.

****ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS****Are you battling feelings of disconnection and discontent? Do your needs often take a backseat in your life? Do you ponder if life could be more fulfilling and happier? In today's demanding world, many are grappling with anxiety, overwhelm, and uncertainty in managing relationships, careers, and lives overall. Neglecting your needs and lacking self-care can lead to prolonged mental and physical concerns. We firmly believe life shouldn't be this tough. Healing Roots Therapy (HRT) is a dedicated clinic, blending evidence-based healing methods with traditional psychotherapy for comprehensive care.

What if you could talk to your partner without it becoming an escalated argument every single time? You’re looking for a therapist either because you’re not getting the emotional affection you need or because you have the same fights over and over. You try to discuss your problems but always end up disconnected. You’ve already tried everything you know to do. You have attempted some conversations, gone on date nights, read some books, and may have been to a therapist before. You’re scared of what might happen if something doesn’t change soon. Things are at the point now where you know you need professional help. You need change.

Currently accepting new clients. "Therapy really works!” This is my experience with therapy as well as many other people’s therapy experience with me. I believe that you can have a similar experience - an experience that you will feel understood and empowered. Part of the reasons that makes therapy work is because as a therapist, I am non-judgmental, emphatic, compassionate, and genuine. I am also trained in many different psychotherapy modalities that I will tailor our therapy sessions to your unique needs. I can use practical approaches as well as insight oriented approaches.

Hi there. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Maybe feeling stuck or that your thoughts are all tangled up? Do you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Like you're not doing enough? It's okay, I have been in your shoes, too. As a first generation Chinese Canadian, I understand that sometimes things feel like they are out of control and the need to make sure everyone else is taken care of is a higher priority than ourselves. With your trust, let's work together to set healthy boundaries, untangle those thoughts, and taking care of yourself without feelings of guilt.

I am a psychologist in supervised practice specialized in the practices of clinical neuropsychology, clinical psychology, and rehabilitation psychology with adults. Like many Canadians, I come from a bicultural upbringing. For this reason, I am aware of the unique challenges and intergenerational experiences that are faced everyday by those of us who grew up in both mainstream Canadian and multicultural communities. Drawing from my training as a psychologist, as well as my personal journey, my goal is to create an authentic, relatable, and culturally sensitive space for you to share your experiences through the course of therapy.
