Therapists in V3J
Having to cope with the stress of everyday life can be a real challenge. Sometimes you feel like you just can't handle it all and you find yourself stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk and an inability to follow-through with what you said you would do. Feeling overwhelmed and anxious can become a real problem. Maybe you find yourself worrying a lot about a specific situation or maybe you're not sure what the problem is. In any case, you're finding it difficult to get through the day, your productivity is slipping and you notice that it's taking a toll on your overall health and well-being.

I love to work with people with whom I can cultivate meaningful and supportive relationships. I have a passion for supporting children, teens, adults and seniors with neurodiversities. Also, as an immigrant, I have a deep compassion for new immigrants who are looking for support in adapting to life in Canada.
I hold both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Psychology oriented toward evidence-based therapies, neuropsychology, and research.
It is at the core of my beliefs that a holistic approach, where we consider family and relationships in a safe, non-judgmental space, is the most realistic and empathetic way to address issues.

Hi there! I’m Marcus, a gay second-generation Chinese settler. As a student therapist under clinical supervision, I offer low-cost counselling starting at $30 a session.
My commitment to this work emerged from seeing how spiritual and cultural expectations can collide with queerness, how disconnection from community can affect one’s sense of self and belonging, and how identity, and systems of power shape our sense of self.
In my seven years of non-profit work, I’ve provided peer support to youth who survived childhood trauma, journeyed with folks who have ADHD, and offered care to low-income families.
