Zhongxue He (Joanna)

Registered Provisional Psychologist

Currently accepting new clients as of April 15th, 2025

Welcome! I’m Zhongxue He (Joanna), a Canadian Certified Counsellor. Life can feel overwhelming at times, but healing begins when you have someone who truly understands and walks beside you. In our work together, you’ll find a compassionate, safe space where I’ll meet you with empathy, seeing beyond your struggles and honouring your innate worth. Whether you're burdened by past painful experiences or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I’m here to help you break free and rediscover your inner strength and resilience.

I specialize in trauma therapy, supporting clients as they heal from racial, intergenerational, childhood, sexual, relational, grief-related, immigration, and workplace wounds. My holistic approach nurtures the mind, body, and spirit and is tailored to meet your unique needs. By integrating evidence-based therapies such as SFBT, CBT, DBT, EFT, EMDR, and IFS, we’ll work together to uncover the root causes of your challenges, expand your self- awareness, release trapped emotions, and create corrective emotional experiences that empower you to respond to life with confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of self.

With my deep understanding of Christian and Buddhist philosophies, I also support you in integrating your spiritual identity into the healing journey, helping you find deeper meaning and purpose in your life. If you’re ready to begin your healing and transformation, I’d be honoured to support you.
