"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. " “一个奇妙的悖论是:当我全然接纳真实的自己时,改变才会真正发生。” - 卡尔·罗杰斯 您好,我是Leo,一名在加拿大执业的注册心理咨询师,为您提供普通话心理咨询服务:) Hi, I’m Leo. I moved to Canada at age 39 and restarted my career from scratch. I have lived through the challenges of starting over while balancing the responsibilities of being a son, a husband, and a father. From caring for my aging parents to seeing my son enter McGill University, I understand the highs and lows of the immigrant journey.
I provide a safe, private space where you can speak freely. Rooted in Positive Psychology, I help you process trauma, repair relationships, or navigate life’s hardships. My goal isn’t just to talk about problems, but to help you find your own inner resilience. In my practice, there is no "preaching"—only the honest support of an experienced friend.
Finding the right therapist is a brave first step. I offer a free 20-minute consultation so we can see if we are a good match. Let’s work together to help you find your way back to a sense of calm and peace of mind.
Call or Xinchao Liu now for a free 15 minute consultation - (450) 912-6182

My Approach: I primarily use Humanistic and Positive Psychology. This means I focus on your innate strengths, values, and potential for growth rather than just fixing problems. Together, we'll build on what is already working in your life, fostering self-acceptance and a deeper sense of meaning as you grow into your new chapter here.
