Therapy with Harry

Harry is very knowledgeable and reflective about the experience of what it's like to be an Asian person within a multicultural society, while balancing cultural identities, AND managing the many family cultural and generational gaps experienced by youth, young adults and working professionals who are trying to navigate their place in this world. I like how his knowledge base is very specific to the issues faced by Asians and the journey of personal growth and development throughout our lifespan. Harry is a specialist in this area of Asian Mental Health and I highly recommend doing your explorative work with him!

Harry was always so attentive, empathetic, and reflective about the experiences I shared with him. It was really important for me to find the right person to share my stories with and after numerous calls with various therapists, I found Harry. As an Asian individual, I felt understood every time I spoke with Harry. He was incredibly comfortable to talk to and that speaks volumes to me from someone who has never went to therapy before. I felt valued even through sharing some deep grief, comparison issues, and dark moments. Thank you for listening and being so down to earth! I appreciate all the work we've done together. I highly highly recommend reaching out and working with Harry.

Uncomfortable strict cancellation policy. Most therapists have a cancellation policy of at least 24hrs. This therapist requires a commitment of 3 weeks per month, with the option of a one-time cancellation per year. If he is unable to find a spot for you within that same week, he will charge you for his time - even if you were to give him a week's notice or more. This might work for some people, but personally, I found it detrimental to building trust in therapy and it does not feel like the clients' needs are being prioritized. Again, this comment is strictly based on his policy, and not on his therapy treatment per se - which some people might enjoy.

Harry is a compassionate and attentive therapist that really listens to your needs. He is masterful at his craft and will help you craft a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals.

If you are an Asian person, especially a younger person who's a first or second generation Canadian/immigrant, and have concerns about your mental health, or just want someone to talk to about your challenges and goals, I would recommend a consultation with Harry. There's nothing to lose and much to gain (as is usually the case whenever you take an active role in your own well-being!)In my consultation with Harry, he took the time to listen and understand my needs, answer my questions, and explain his approaches and policies until I understood. It was a comfortable experience. I also felt fortunate that I had found a therapist who offered the 'bonus' of lived experience of a cultural community/life journey that was relatable to mine.I worked with Harry for about 2 years. During that time, Harry treated me with empathy, respect, dignity, and professionalism. He was fully present at each session, and a good listener. I appreciated how he was ready to pick up from where we had left off at the end of the previous session, having done research and prep work.Harry was able to adapt his approach to my situation and my preferences, rather than stick to one that he preferred. And I also liked how he was always ready to answer my questions about 'therapy stuff' (my term, not Harry's), while giving me apt advice on how much learning about therapy could actually be detrimental for a person in therapy, who has the kind of personality I do, which is to read about everything in depth. This may not be the case for you, but again, that's why it's important for your therapist to be a good fit for you, and adaptable on top of that. That was my experience with Harry.I ended my work with Harry amicably after about 2 years. I'm leaving the door open to resuming therapy with him in the future, because he really did help me a lot with understanding my self, my situation, challenges, and how to achieve my goals. I'd recommend a consultation with him.

Harry is a very empathetic therapist. He listens to peoples struggles and helps them make changes in their life.

Harry is committed to his work, he strives for a high quality service through compassion and connection. He will make you feel welcome and heard.

Harry is a great therapist! He makes you feel welcome and understood as an Asian client. He's easy to talk to and knows his stuff.

It’s rare to see people who are actually passionate about what they do and even more rare to see people who practice what they believe in. Harry is one of those rare person. He listens without judging, questions without accusing, and shares without holding back. His down to earth personality makes it comfortable to speak to him and he really opened up my perspectives when I was so narrow minded. Harry not only helped me through some dark moments but even through some mundane moments when everyone else just brushed it off carelessly. I felt respected and valued. Thank you Harry for all your hard work!
