I integrate these foundational theories using principles of Internal Family Systems Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy and emotional intelligence to support individuals and families grow stronger together.
Anyone who has experienced violence, trauma, grief & loss, including those who identify as belonging to the LGBTQ+2 Spirited, Indigenous and Christian faith communities. I imagine my ideal client as having endured unfortunate circumstances and crisis beyond their control; yet open and longing to embark on a healthy healing path facilitated by a compassionate and accepting facilitator.

My name is Yae Won and I would like to extend an invitation to the Healing Inner Stigma Playground, where you are invited to come as you are and discover the impact of the stigma that people- or even yourself- may have placed on your life based on your disability.

Waitlist for new clients
Clients come to me when they (or their loved ones) are dealing with anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges, mood swings, challenging life events, flash backs, PTSD, or childhood trauma. I use Brainspotting, EMDR, Creative Arts therapy and other strength-based approaches to help clients build confidence, self-understanding, and concrete strategies to manage the challenges of daily life. My clients learn about the brain-body connection of their distress and challenges, building positive skills to be able to manage life’s stresses and become less overwhelmed by emotional triggers.

Our lives can be overwhelming, especially when you know something feels too difficult to manage yourself. Finding the right person to trust is important as you reach toward answers and improve your emotional and mental health. In seeking therapy, you need to have the security of a non-judgmental and compassionate person who can move you from feelings of vulnerability or shame and instead find self-love and motivation to make changes. I’ll be there for you.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
