Shan Qi
Registered Psychotherapist, MSsc
Steeles & 404, & Online
Specialization: Depression, Anxiety, Relationship counselling, PTSD
I am a somatic (Focusing on a person’s physical and mental connection during treatment), trauma informed Gestalt psychotherapist and trainer.
“Connection is our deepest desire and greatest fear.” I work with Individuals who are longing for more connection with themslves both emotionally and psyscially, and explore what has been getting in the way of connecting to their authentic self.
I have great passion with body process as a support for dialogue; I believe the body is a connection between our past and future and it can only stay in the here and now. By exploring body’s expression and its narrative, our presence become clearer, we vibrate and our response to the world becomes less stuck and more playful.
Besides working with Individuals and couples, I also enjoy the creative process of groups, and I have led Gestalt Embodied groups for different organizations including Gestalt Institute of Toronto, WeSupport Mental Health network program etc.

Ming Wu
Registered Psychotherapist
Yonge & St Clair, & Online
Specialization: Anxiety, Depression, Coping with a variety of life challenges
My main interest is to help individuals to understand and address their ongoing patterns.
My work focuses on people going through life transitions such as relationship changes, empty nest syndrome, job transitions, immigration, and trauma.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is a co-creation where you will gain a deeper understanding of where you are at in your life and what has brought you there. We all create patterns for a reason. Often we created them in our early childhood to keep ourselves safe and cope in our environment. You might find these patterns are no longer serving you or actually holding you back. I work in the here and now to help you to unpack these patterns and create something new.
I work in a supportive way for you to explore your emotional state through sensory awareness. Along with the embodied approach, I incorporate creativity, art, imagery, metaphors to deepen our work together.

Jane Husak
Registered Psychotherapist
Dupont & Spadina & Online
Specialization: Anxiety, Depression, Couples Counselling, Relationship Issues, Life Transitions
I am a Gestalt and Somatic EMDR trained Psychotherapist. I work with individuals and couples. Together we work to sort through any unfinished business: areas where you may feel stuck, places that may be causing painful symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or relationship conflicts. I help people who are struggling with finding their place in the world, bringing clarity to who they want to be, and the choices they are making. I help people explore and accept their feelings, address any harmful behaviour, and work to create personal agency and a deeper sense of self. I will help guide you to challenge some of the core values, beliefs, and behaviours that may have been vital to your survival in the past, but could be holding you back in the present. I believe therapy is a way for people to know themselves more deeply, to be confident in who they are, and ultimately be in charge of their own lives.
