Hello

I am Dr. Howard Wong, a Registered Psychologist (BC) and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I hold both Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, I provide psychotherapy and psychological assessment services to adults, adolescents, children, and couples. My professional background spans counselling centres, community agencies, schools, hospitals, and private clinics in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Canada, where I have worked extensively with clients from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

My areas of practice include depression and anxiety disorders, PTSD, grief and loss, substance use, life transitions, self-esteem, developmental and learning disorders, ADHD, parenting and couple relationships, as well as workplace and academic stress. I have received specialized training in a range of evidence-based and integrative therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the Gottman Method, mindfulness-based approaches, and the Satir Model.

Drawing on my training and professional experience across Western and Asian contexts, I aim to offer a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive therapeutic space. I help clients understand how their personal, family, and sociocultural histories may influence current emotional well-being, behaviour, and relationships. Therapy is a collaborative process in which we develop individualized treatment goals and practical tools, and regularly evaluate progress over time. I also encourage clients to engage in meaningful self-reflection and between-session practices, as I have found therapy to be most effective when insights are actively integrated into daily life.

I am fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and I offer a free 15-minute phone or Zoom consultation for prospective clients.

Outside of work, I am a husband and father to a 14-year-old daughter, and a companion to two puppies.
