Jennifer Chow

MCP, Registered Psychologist, SEP

Approach

It is my desire to walk alongside people as they are doing life, navigating adversity and finding healing and peace.  In my approach I deeply value the relationship that is formed between you as the client and me and having a heart posture of genuineness, openness, compassion and humility.  I believe that we are people who are constantly becoming; this means that we are not stagnant and deterministic but dynamic, growing and ever changing.  In our personal journeys we may encounter unexpected, painful events that bring forth behaviours, habits or feelings that we do not understand.  Whatever you are hoping to bring in, whether it be anxiety, depression, trauma… my priority is to understand the uniqueness of what you are going through in order to collaboratively (with you) find meaningful ways for you to find peace and bring healing to your story.  It is important to me to understand what makes this personal for you, and to find if there is something deeper that needs to be addressed.  We as people may go through similar traumas and/or experiences but we all have a unique narrative that needs to be appreciated.  Come as you are, from wherever that may be, for you are allowed to be yourself as we work together.
If you wish to know more about me, please feel free to contact me!  I am exclusively doing remote, online sessions.  I truly believe that regardless of how we are meeting, we find meaningful connections beyond space and time.  If you are interested in this process, I am excited to meet you!
With kindness,
Jennifer
