Heidi Zhang, Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist

Growing up in Canada as the daughter of first generation immigrants has taught me the importance of cultivating a self-narrative that is both compassionate and curious; a part of myself that I can call on during times of uncertainty, pain, and turbulence to help me repair and reconnect. How we view ourselves is related to how we feel inside, and the kind of relationship we build with those feelings is important. When we are disconnected from our feelings, we often experience being stuck. I wish to work together with you on this journey to become unstuck – to provide support, honesty, and take witness in your transformation.

I believe in the power of connection and relationship building. Through cultivating a therapeutic relationship anchored on trust, respect, and openness, we can move towards a space where you see how your life is lived in the present, and determine alternative pathways to ‘thicken’ your narrative.

As a passionate life-long learner, I position my clinical work from a place of not knowing, key to any psychodynamic work. My goal is to grow and transform with you, starting from a place of respectful curiosity using my skills of active listening, asking open-ended questions, and engaging in therapeutic conversations to open up new possibilities.
