You may balancing a lot: social media pressure, relationship ups and downs, school or work stress, and the challenges of migration and family expectations. You want your thoughts and feelings to line up so you can hear what matters to you. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar-related concerns, perfectionism, self-worth, or family boundaries. You’re looking to be understood as a whole person and to move at a steady, respectful pace toward clearer choices and a sustainable routine. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental, culturally aware space. I use Narrative Therapy to revisit and reshape the stories that have boxed you in, EFT and DBT to help you notice and regulate emotions, and MBCT to build present-moment grounding. If you’re ready for things to feel quieter and more clear, let’s start with a brief consult to see if we’re a good fit. Whether you’re at a crossroads or preparing for a big decision, I’ll bring curiosity, respect, and practical steps. You don’t have to sort this out alone—we can do it together.

这个世界仿佛一座永不停歇的车站：社交媒体的轰鸣、亲密关系的回声、工作与学业的齿轮、迁徙与身份的拉扯、对未来的未名风向，一层层叠在心上。那些外部的噪声，有时会把我们内在细小而真实的声音淹没，甚至让我们看不见那个仍在等待被理解、被拥抱的自己。我的工作，是为你点亮一盏小灯，留出一方安静的室内，陪你把故事慢慢摊开，听见你如何一路走来，再以你的步调，整理、命名、选择。

我尊重关系的深度与温度，接纳包容你的全部。在我的心理治疗过程中，叙事疗法会帮助你重写被情境压扁的故事，EFT与DBT支持你看见并调节情绪的潮汐，MBCT则像一块稳当的踏石，让当下先落地。我也是一位在中国出生、曾以国际生身份在加拿大学习与生活的性少数治疗师，关注交叉性带来的独特处境——身份、家庭与结构如何编织心事与选择，也与焦虑、抑郁、躯体化压力、情绪节律与双相相关困扰、自我关系与自尊、自恋相关议题并肩而行。无论你正处在人生或关系的十字路口，还是在重要抉择前需要把理性与情感温柔地摆在同一张桌面，我都会以不评判与好奇为起点，与你共同设定清晰而可行的目标。 我的工作过程也接纳陪伴你的人工智能，如果可以，也欢迎把那些文本带来，我们会一起分辨其价值与限度，让科技成为你而非你成为它的延伸。

Hello and welcome! I’m Jill, a first-generation immigrant and therapist fluent in both English and Mandarin. My work is rooted in a relational, humanistic, and integrative approach, drawing from parts work, IFS, attachment theory, and emotion-focused practices. I believe therapy is a place where you can come home to yourself — with all the complexity, beauty, and challenges that make you who you are.

Much of my passion lies in supporting people through transitions in identity, relationships, grief and loss, family dynamics, emotional regulation, career paths and more. I know from my own lived experience how overwhelming and isolating these struggles can feel, and how healing it is to finally have a safe and compassionate space to explore them.

In our work together, my hope is to help you reconnect with your inner strengths, heal parts of yourself that carry old pain, and move toward relationships — with yourself and others — that feel safe, genuine, and nourishing.

It would be my honour to walk alongside you on your journey of growth and healing. I warmly invite you to reach out when you feel ready!

If you have any questions or concerns, or if none of the time slots work for you, please feel free to reach out at lightlife725@gmail.com - I’ll try my best to accommodate.

你好，歡迎你！

我是 Jill，多倫多心理諮商碩士畢業，擁有安大略省註冊心理諮商師協會的心理諮商師。

如果你正在海外生活、求學或工作，卻常常覺得自己卡在某個的位置 - 表面上好像還撐得住，內心卻有點孤單、累，或是不知道該跟誰說，我很理解這樣的感受。

身為14歲來到加拿大讀書的小留學生，我清楚明白特別關注跨文化的挑戰，因此我特別專注於與留學生常見的議題，例如：身分認同的混亂、對家的想念與內疚、語言與文化帶來的隔閡、關係中的不安全感、情緒長期壓抑，以及對未來方向的迷惘。

我的工作取向是關係導向、人本且整合式，結合了 內在家庭系統（IFS）、依附理論(Attachment Style)與 情緒取向取向（EFT）等等。

在諮商中，我希望為個案提供一個不需要解釋文化背景、不需要一直撐著的空間，讓個案可以慢慢整理長時間來被忽略、被壓下來的感受。

在我們的合作裡，我會陪你重新連結自己的內在力量，照顧那些因為長期適應、遷移與期待而疲憊的部分， 也幫助你建立與自己、與他人之間更安全、真實、舒服的關係。

能在你人生的旅程中陪伴你走一段路，對我來說是一份很珍貴的緣分。如果你覺得準備好了，歡迎隨時與我聯繫 !

Haowen Yang, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), holds a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Toronto. She works from an integrative, humanistic-oriented framework and offers psychotherapy services in English and Mandarin.

During different stages of life — including academic years, early adulthood, and beyond — many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly exhausted. Academic pressure, life transitions, relationship concerns, and ongoing self-doubt can gradually build up, leaving you feeling anxious, low in mood, or disconnected from yourself. While these experiences can be painful, they can also become meaningful opportunities for reflection, healing, and growth.

I provide a warm, respectful, and non-judgmental space for both students and adults to explore their experiences openly and at their own pace. I believe therapy is a collaborative process — one where your story, values, and lived experiences are deeply respected.

My approach is integrative, with a strong emphasis on humanistic therapy. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and emotional rhythm.

🌱 Areas of Focus

Anxiety, low mood, and emotional overwhelm

Academic stress, burnout, and motivation difficulties

Life transitions, identity exploration, and uncertainty about the future

Self-doubt, perfectionism, and fear of failure

Emotional regulation and coping skills

Building self-compassion, resilience, and inner stability

Many of my clients are thoughtful, caring individuals — including students and adults — who may appear capable on the outside but feel internally stuck. They may be caught in cycles of worry, self-criticism, or emotional exhaustion. Together, we work to better understand these patterns, develop healthier ways of relating to challenges, and reconnect with a sense of clarity, confidence, and calm.

Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, especially if you have been carrying things on your own for a long time. You don’t have to do it alone. In our work together, my goal is to create a space where you can feel genuinely seen, supported, and accepted — a space where healing and growth can unfold naturally and at your own pace.

您有可能正被焦虑、情绪低落或自我怀疑所困扰，在学业、职业或人生阶段的转折中感到迷茫与疲惫；也可能发现自己反复陷入担忧、内耗与自我批评的循环，却很难真正走出来。 在咨询过程中，我们将共同理解你的经历，梳理情绪与行为背后的模式，逐步建立心理韧性，并重新找回内在的稳定感、自信与平静。我的目标并不仅仅是帮助你“撑过去”，而是支持你在生活中获得更清晰的方向感、更温柔的自我关系，以及更有意义的存在感。 我的治疗取向以合作性与来访者为中心为核心，强调安全、尊重与真实的关系建立。我结合循证取向的心理治疗方法，包括认知行为疗法（CBT）、接纳与承诺疗法（ACT）以及叙事取向，根据你的独特经历、目标与节奏，灵活调整每一次会谈的方向与重点。我们将一起探索你的故事，识别那些可能正在限制你发展的信念与应对模式。 寻求帮助本身就需要勇气，尤其是当你已经独自承受、努力应对了很久。你不需要再一个人扛下去。在我们的工作中，我希望为你提供一个真正被看见、被理解、被接纳的空间——一个你可以安心放慢脚步、逐渐修复、并向内在成长敞开的地方。
