Hi everyone! My name is JeeYe (pronounced JeeYeh or the letters G-A). I was born in South Korea and when I was 7 years old, my parents decided to immigrate to Vancouver, Canada. Moving to a new country at a young age, I faced struggles and challenges, especially around physical differences, language, and culture. Confusion arose and I often found my young self with questions circling around “Who am I?” “What am I supposed to be like?” and “Where do I fit in?”

Time and again I found myself searching for a safe place and person/people, as my home and parents were unable to secure safety for me. Then in my mid 20s, after being diagnosed with a life altering health condition, I came to therapeutic counselling. I was sitting in a place of doubt, confusion, and hopelessness. I was convinced I would be broken, incomplete and not worthy to be part of society. I viewed myself as a body and soul filled with problems. However, with time, counselling offered healing, and with courage and support, I was able to explore areas of my life with curiosity and an open mind and heart. This journey asked for patience, time, self-love, and connection. This allowed me to reconnect and reclaim parts of me that I became disconnected with. Healing brought forth a life of living, passion, and authenticity.

**My belief is that we are all worthy of living a life filled with authenticity, love, and connection. We are much more than our stories and pasts.**

###**JeeYe’s Approach**###

I offer you a safe space for your story to be shared, for your experiences to be seen, heard, and recognized. In therapy, you will be met with care, compassion, empathy, and genuine curiosity.

###Together we can work to:###

* discover what it is that is holding you back, placing you in a place of “stuckness,”

* bring awareness and an understanding to the core cause of your struggles on a mental and emotional level, and

* provide resources to help build courage and resilience as we work on examining and adopting a new pattern of thinking, feeling and living.

###**Therapeutic Modalities**###

* Transpersonal Therapy

* Gestalt Therapy

* Person-Centered Approach

* Bowen Family System Theory

* Intergenerational Trauma Therapy

All of these are combined with a experiential and holistic approach—mind, body, heart, and spirit. Mindfulness and self-compassion strategies are encouraged in our sessions.
