Claire Ho

REGISTERED CLINICAL COUNSELLOR & REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST (QUALIFYING)

I grew up in Taiwan in a family shaped by traditional Asian values, where love was often expressed through responsibility, sacrifice, and caring for others. After moving to Canada as a teenager, I experienced the challenge of navigating different cultural expectations while trying to understand my own identity. These experiences helped me understand that the desire to belong can sometimes lead people to silence their emotions or disconnect from their needs. I believe therapy can be a space to explore these patterns with compassion, helping clients reconnect with themselves and with the people who matter to them.

I work with individuals navigating cultural identity, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, and relational challenges. I also support couples and families experiencing conflict or emotional distance, and have helped many adult children reconnect with their parents by fostering understanding, repairing emotional injuries, and creating safer ways to communicate across generations. I am especially passionate about supporting immigrant and Asian families as they navigate cultural values, expectations, and evolving relationships.
