Couples Therapy Provided by Annie Kao

BCACC, Registered Clinical Counsellor

I offer a compassionate, culturally attuned space for adults navigating identity, relationship challenges, burnout, and the emotional weight of change. My approach is grounded in Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and CBT, drawing from both clinical training and my lived experience as a first-generation Taiwanese Canadian. I support clients facing the complexities of immigration, cultural expectations, and shifting roles—especially in the context of parenthood, career, and grief. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, I work with you to explore your inner world with curiosity and care, helping you make meaning of your experiences and reconnect with your sense of self.
