Zexi Wu
Hi, I’m Zexi. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student at Yorkville University.
I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and able to show up as yourself. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, non-judgmental, and grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. I am also a direct therapist. I am not here simply to tell you what you want to hear or agree with everything you say. My role is to support you with empathy and compassion while also helping you notice patterns, beliefs, or behaviours that may be keeping you stuck. I see therapy as a space not only to feel understood, but also to build insight and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.
I am particularly interested in supporting adults and couples experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, workplace stress, and minority stress. As a gay Asian man, I also bring lived experience that informs my commitment to 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming and culturally humble care, while recognizing that every client’s story is unique.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and draws from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and attachment-informed perspectives. Together, we can explore how past and present experiences may be shaping your emotions, relationships, and patterns of coping, while identifying practical steps that feel realistic and aligned with the life you want to build.
I am fluent in English and Mandarin and welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, identities, relationships, and lived experiences.

(she/her)
Hello, my name is Rachel. Are you looking to explore therapy in a unique and creative way? My therapeutic approach stands out through my background in art and animation and my formal training in psychotherapy. My philosophy of healing is viewed through the lens of creativity and movement. I firmly believe in the inherent potential of every person to actualize themselves, recreate themselves, and get back into movement when facing adversity.
Backed by a sensitive, humanistic, and constructivist approach, I meet you where you are currently in a non-judgmental and unconditionally positive space, where your reality is understood as a series of life transitions that call you to redefine and recreate yourself constantly.
I favor creative therapeutic approaches such as expressive art therapy, narrative therapy, videotherapy, and self-expression through Gestalt-inspired role-playing. I also use the Person-Centered approach and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to explore who you are and your cognitive patterns. I work also with Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused therapy to initiate movement and change in your life.
Being a member of the artistic and neurodivergent community, I am open to working with individuals who need support to stabilize bipolar disorder, ADHD, or neurodivergence, and/or who are looking for specialized artistic support (hypersensitivity, identity search, creative burnout). I am also available to work with clients who wish to integrate their spirituality as part of faith-based therapy.
Thus, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or mood disorders, I invite you to take back control of your personal narrative through a process of co-creation in congruence with who you truly are, beyond the symptoms of your current condition.
Salut, mon nom est Rachel. Vous souhaitez explorer la thérapie d’une manière unique et créative? Mon approche thérapeutique se démarque par mon parcours universitaire en art et animation et ma formation formelle en psychothérapie. Ma philosophie de la guérison est perçue sous l’angle de la créativité et du mouvement. Je crois fermement au potentiel inhérent de chaque personne à s’actualiser, se recréer et se remettre en mouvement face à l’adversité.
Soutenue par une approche sensible, humaniste et constructiviste, je vous rencontre là où vous êtes présentement dans un espace sans jugement et inconditionnellement positif, où votre réalité est comprise comme une série de transitions de vie qui vous appellent à vous redéfinir et vous recréer constamment.
Je privilégie les approches thérapeutiques créatives telles que l’art-thérapie expressive, la thérapie narrative, la vidéothérapie et l’expression de soi par le jeu de rôle inspiré de la Gestalt. J’utilise également l’approche centrée sur la personne et la TCC (thérapie cognitivo-comportementale) pour explorer qui vous êtes et vos schémas cognitifs. Je travaille aussi avec l’entretien motivationnel et la thérapie axée sur les solutions pour initier le mouvement et le changement dans votre vie.
Étant membre de la communauté artistique et neurodivergente, je suis ouverte à travailler avec des personnes qui ont besoin d’un soutien pour stabiliser un trouble bipolaire, un TDAH ou une neurodivergence, et/ou qui recherchent un soutien artistique spécialisé (hypersensibilité, recherche identitaire, burnout créatif). Je suis également disponible pour travailler avec des clients qui désirent intégrer leur spiritualité dans le cadre d’une thérapie axée sur la foi.
Ainsi, que vous luttiez contre l’anxiété, la dépression ou des troubles de l’humeur, je vous invite à reprendre le contrôle de votre narratif personnel grâce à un processus de co-création en congruence avec qui vous êtes vraiment, au-delà des symptômes de votre condition actuelle.

You’ve taken a courageous step in reaching out for support. You may be transitioning through a difficult period, feeling anxious, low in energy, or struggling to focus and make decisions with clarity and confidence. Your relationships might feel more one-sided than mutual, leaving you emotionally drained and confused. Perhaps you find yourself living in a constant state of fight or flight, disconnected from your breath and the present moment. If any of this resonates, you may have just found the right connection; someone who understands not only through education, but also through lived experience.
Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes but rather an aim for sustainable progress. I believe in meeting you where you are and helping you develop the self-awareness and emotional strength needed to move forward with purpose. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that positive change is possible.
My work is informed by research and guided by empathy. It draws from proven schools of thought such as Psychodynamic psychotherapy, Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and working with the “self.” Sessions are flexible, supportive, and centred around your unique goals. It’s a space to talk openly about what’s been happening for you, and explore how therapy can help you move toward peace and personal liberation.

Sessions available in English, Tamil, & Hindi
Many of the challenges we experience are shaped by the relationships, cultures, and experiences that have influenced us. Childhood experiences, family dynamics, cultural expectations, trauma, grief, and life transitions can impact how we see ourselves, connect with others, and navigate the world. I support individuals who are exploring their identity, healing from past experiences, and seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. My areas of focus include South Asian mental health, immigrant experiences, intergenerational patterns, childhood wounds, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and more. My approach is warm, compassionate, culturally responsive, and trauma informed. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where your lived experiences, values, traditions, and personal story are honoured. Together, we can explore the patterns that may no longer serve you, develop emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change. Having lived and understood the experience of navigating multiple cultural worlds, I recognize the importance of feeling seen and understood within therapy. I strive to create a space where your cultural background, values, traditions, and personal growth can coexist.

I’m Christina! Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges life has thrown your way? Whether it’s navigating shifts in athletic performance, managing the complexities of neurodiversity, healing from trauma, or dealing with intense emotions, it can feel like you’re carrying the weight alone. If you’re struggling to find clarity or feeling disconnected from who you are, know that you don’t have to go through this by yourself.
As a neurodivergent therapist, the unique challenges you face are deeply understood. In our work together, both a neuroaffirming and anti-oppressive space will be created where you are fully seen, heard, and supported as you navigate the complexities of trauma, performance, identity, or emotional regulation. This journey is about helping you reconnect with your strengths, find clarity, and move forward with confidence.
Together, we will explore strategies to help you reconnect with yourself, develop tools for emotional resilience, and build a path forward that aligns with your goals. Whether it’s navigating intense emotions, processing past experiences, or understanding yourself more, I’m here to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. You don’t have to face this alone—let’s work together to uncover the clarity and strength within you.

Jessica Furtado
Hello, My name is Jessica. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), providing support under clinical supervision. My areas of clinical interest include supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism spectrum disorder, emotional regulation difficulties, chronic stress, and burnout. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, mostly because I don’t think it actually fits anyone. Some people want practical tools, homework, and a plan. Some want space to talk and feel heard without someone immediately trying to fix everything. Some people need a different pace or a different lens entirely.
My goal is to meet you where you are and work collaboratively to find an approach that feels right for you. I’ll be honest, I’ll gently challenge patterns that may not be serving you, and I’ll probably crack a joke at some point, because taking things seriously and taking yourself too seriously aren’t the same thing. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. If you’re considering counselling and would like to learn more about whether I might be a good fit for you, feel free to reach out for a free consultation
