Mio Yokoi

Self exploration is a very personal journey. If you are here, you are likely looking for a therapist to be on that journey with you. My approach to therapy is based in empathy and I will work together with you to create a safe and secure space to discuss and explore. As a psychotherapist, I am attentive, empathic, compassionate and engaged. I listen carefully and work with you to understand and make connections in your experience. I will make sure you feel seen, heard and appreciated as a unique individual in all of your richness and complexity.

As a Relational Psychotherapist, my emphasis is on empathy in therapy. At any given time, over 300,000 Canadians are affected by mental health challenges and while we each are unique individuals, valuable perspective can be gained when it is possible to experience genuinely being heard and understood.

I bring the understanding of working in corporate environments and living in an urban setting where isolation and frustration can arise from a lack of authentic connections. Also as an immigrant and visible minority in Canada, I work with the effect and meaning of diversity in our North American culture.
