Therapist Details
Shiva Yan, M.A., R.P.
Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist
I am a compassionate client-centered therapist, committed to creating a safe and caring environment for every one of my clients. Whether you are seeking therapy as an individual, a couple, or as a family, I am here to listen to you without judgement and assist you on your journey towards strength, healing, and peace. In our therapy sessions, I will accompany you to reflect on the nature of the issues you are facing and examine their possible origins to gain insights about yourself and your relationships. We will then work together to build on your strengths and develop a path towards healing and fulfillment.
If you are facing challenges as a couple or family, our sessions will help you understand the negative dynamics of your current relationship and identify the unfulfilled needs that may be causing disconnection and isolation. With this understanding, you and your partner or family members will be accompanied to adopt healthier, more positive ways of communicating, and lay the foundation for a warmer, safer and more intimate relationship.
Having lived in several countries, I am sensitive and respectful to my clients’ cultural and religious values and their practice of spirituality. I am also experienced in working with intercultural, inter-racial and interfaith couples, helping them to develop more empathy and understanding of each other’s viewpoint and transcending their differences.
My approach is integrative and collaborative. Tailored to each client’s requirements and goals, I draw from a range of counselling approaches, including ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), , Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and Attachment theory.
