Therapists in Manitoba

I consider it a privilege to work with people who want to make positive changes in their lives and relationships. It's natural to seek help when struggling with low mood, unhealthy habits or difficulties getting along with the people around us. Individuals might want to focus on coming to terms with unexpected change or dealing with past trauma. Couples sometimes need help communicating or understanding their relationship dynamics. These are all issues that can be dealt with in a therapeutic setting.

I offer therapy from a person-centered, strength based approach. I have effectively worked with clients with various mental health diagnoses such as Depression, Grief, Trauma, Anxiety disorders, Schizophrenia, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Bipolar, Acquired Brain Injuries. relational issues and conflicts in family and marriages.

It will also provide you with a clear picture of what you are not satisfied with, what makes you stressed, and if your social relationships work for you or not.

I specialize in helping individuals zoom out to see the true source of their stuckness and inability to attain goals. This 'not so obvious' barrier can manifest in many areas of your life; relationships, career goals, or attaining a healthy relationship with food. Life is certainly not all about being happy all of the time, but you should be waking up feeling an incredible sense of gratitude and contentment for the type of life you live now, but also feeling excited about what is yet to come. In simple terms, I coach individuals to go from good to great and have a special love for working with business owners and entrepreneurs.

Perhaps thoughts, memories, or feelings about a painful event make it difficult for you to experience satisfaction in your marriage or family or to excel in roles such as parenting or socializing, or cause you to do things you do not like. Perhaps a personal, relationship or vocational situation is causing you distress, or mental health condition such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or addiction makes it difficult for you to pursue your aspirations. Or, perhaps, concerns about managing a situation, the outcome of significant events, or achieving meaningful goals make it difficult for you to fulfill important roles.

I love working with individuals and couples on a variety of issues and topics. I am passionate about therapy and creating a safe space that is inclusive and affirming of LGBTQIA2S+, BDSM, kink, and non-monogamy—one that is sex positive and non-judgmental. Another passion of mine is therapy for youth and creating a space that children and adolescents can feel safe to be themselves and express their creativity while learning coping strategies & building self-esteem. Each person has their own unique intersectionality of characteristics, and I want you to feel safe to be yourself.

In my private practice work, I am a Clinical Associate at Prairie Psychology working under the supervision of Dr. Darek Dawda (Ph.D., C.Psych.). I offer empathic, collaborative care for individuals and couples. I have extensive experience working with trauma (childhood, adulthood, intergenerational), relationships, attachment, gender issues, identity, life transitions, depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation. I believe strongly in cultural humility, and incorporate each person's unique history. Together, we may establish goals and work towards balance in a safe, respectful, compassionate, and authentic environment.

Sometimes it feels as though life is crushing us. Feelings and situations that feel out of control, beyond repair, and even hopeless.

Allied with you to face the storm.

Wai-Han (慧娴) is my name. Wai: wisdom; Han: elegance. Born and raised in a shame-based culture, from a young age things were spoken over me that were the opposite of this, that I did not measure up to my name. I experienced the power of words- that they can speak life or death- for me evoking self-rejection. Through my journey toward healing, spoken words brought liberating life to me. Thus, I am passionate about speaking life into people’s lives, even while they struggle with depression, anxiety, or challenging relationships. I love seeing individuals find more internal freedom, and feel empowered & in control of their experiences.

I practice within an anti-oppressive framework, using a whole-person approach. I work with individuals, couples and families to enhance personal and relationship goals. Counseling should be a collaborative process, based on goals and values of compassion and authenticity. As a holistic practitioner, I use multiple approaches in therapy, believing strongly in finding a fit, which is personal and unique to each of us. I have experience working with people who have been involved in the justice and child welfare systems, experienced childhood/adult abuse, oppression, and multiple/complex trauma, have addictions, and a wide variety of other issues.

In life and love, I believe we do the best that we can. I also believe in our capacity to learn and grow, heal and change - a worthwhile process I am active to encourage. We all have experiences or relationships that are complex and add stress to our lives. We do not all choose to explore or understand our experiences and relationships and the impact they have, instead often living with a level of stress that is simply physically and emotionally unsustainable. Times of transition or change bring additional stress and can activate our deepest vulnerabilities.

Currently Accepting ONLINE clients. Sometimes people feel stuck in a part of their life, and don't want to be. In our sessions, we will talk about where you feel stuck, figure out how you’ve been getting through so far, and what we can do together to work toward feeling less stuck. We are all shaped by our environment and experiences, and you are the expert on you. I am honoured to hear a bit about you as you determine what you want to share with me. Throughout our time together, I will check in with you to make sure that I am understanding what you want me to know, and to do therapy at a pace that feels right to you.
