Individual Therapy for Filipino Immigrants in Ontario, Canada

Virtual sessions all over Ontario

Helping you navigate your life's complexities so you can feel connected and understood

You've had multiple life experiences and transitions that have greatly impacted who you are today yet somehow it feels like the life you're living is that of others or is one that's expected of you. You have been masking or trying to meet your parents' definition of success and it feels like you don't have a choice.

With therapy, we can help you process your experiences in a meaningful way so you can understand yourself better and begin to reclaim your life.

In our collaborative work, you'll receive support in expressing and understanding your emotions. You can learn how to implement boundaries and sustainable coping strategies. You can appreciate your unique identity, transition through life, and work through intergenerational trauma. We help strengthen your self-awareness and access to your innate wisdom.

 

Hi, I'm Elda. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist, and I specialize in working with

Filipino immigrants and Autistic Folx. Through individual therapy, I'll help you

gain a better understanding of yourself and your experiences, be more aware and accepting

of your emotions, and realize your capacity to make choices for yourself.

I believe that it's when people feel safe and connected, that they're able to engage in self-discovery and healing. As a therapist, I veer away from being the expert in the room who gives advice or tells you what to do. Rather, I hope to create a space that can be the catalyst of your growth and healing so you may draw empowerment and hope within yourself.

 

 

Hi, I'm Nickole. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying). As a second-generation Filipino immigrant, I openly embrace and respect the experiences that shape your identity. With a foundation rooted in compassion and empathy, my goal is to collaboratively address your concerns and help you gain a sense of self-acceptance, heal emotional wounds, and develop healthy coping strategies.

As a child of immigrants, a neurodivergent individual, or a member of a culturally diverse community, your journey is woven with unique lived experiences. While you hold the power to overcome life’s obstacles, you do not have to face these challenges alone. This is where I come alongside you, offering a nurturing and safe space to support and empower you in your growth.
