Renee Chu (She/Her)

Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP (Qualifying)
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, battling anxiety, ADHD, Autism, or struggling with intense emotions and impulses? Do you find navigating social cues and communication challenging, making it difficult to build fulfilling relationships? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the influences behind your recurring patterns, so that you can achieve deep transformation and satisfaction. As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist experienced in navigating neurodivergent challenges, complex relationship dynamics, family/intergenerational issues, and narcissistic abuse, I tailor my approach to personal and relational growth, trauma recovery, and identity exploration. My priority is to empower you to develop confidence, resilience, balance and a positive self-image. My therapy practice is also rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay of our common humanity and individual uniqueness. I use a bicultural and mindfulness lens to draw from my own process of self-discovery and emotional experience to meet you in yours. Meaningful change is possible and I am here to walk that path with you at your pace. Together, we can reshape entrenched habits that no longer serve you and overcome barriers. Reach out to me for a complimentary 50-minute consultation to begin your journey towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Approach Description: With compassion and curiosity, I support clients facing anxiety, stress, burnout, relational trauma, and the complexities of neurodivergence. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, heard, and seen. In our early sessions, we’ll explore how your past shapes your present and create a personalized plan that aligns with your goals. By identifying patterns in your thoughts and behaviours, we’ll unlock new possibilities to strengthen your inner ally and move beyond stuck places. Together, we’ll cultivate an inner harmony where your heart, mind, and spirit thrive. Challenges are inevitable, but you don’t have to face them alone.
