Psychotherapy can alleviate psychological pain, help you know yourself better, and create opportunities to build healthier relationships. We will work together to get to know you, paying attention to your cultural context. This endeavor can bring to your awareness important unnoticed or unnamed patterns that have been causing you pain or difficulty. Most importantly, sharing your story with someone who empathizes can bring great relief.
Wayne Chan
Psychologist, PsyD

Life is stressful. Often times we live our lives in chains, we struggle with our fears, hopes and dreams. Fear is an inevitable challenge we face, particularly when it is unexpected. Sometimes, these challenges may become overwhelming and can affect us physically and mentally. Before we know it, we may start engaging in unhealthy coping behavior by turning to drugs drinking, or food, isolating from others, or acting out aggressively. It is time to find a solution rather than just temporary relief.

Parenting can be the hardest job in the world and I am here to help. Do you have a difficult teenager? Is your child having trouble in High School?

I have many years experience working with children and their families and as a parent I can relate to the difficulties that arise each day. The decision to start therapy can be difficult because you may feel that you have already tried everything or you wonder if this will really help.

Therapy is an incubator for change. It's where you workshop how to initiate it, and digest the changes that have happened. As a therapist, I am 'issue agnostic' and willing to work with most challenges. What's important is your desire to create a change, and readiness to collaborate with someone to create it. Equally vital to me, as a therapist, is that you feel actively heard — something sorely missing for many of us. I feel that we need to be heard and our experience recognized, before we can move on to any sort of change.
