I am a highly experienced mental health expert, therapist, and consultant specializing in resilience, addiction, trauma, and workplace well-being. With over 17 years of experience in mental health, forensic, and addiction services, I bring deep expertise to my roles as a clinician and consultant.

My approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change is possible with empathetic support and practical tools. I focus on people rather than diagnoses, working collaboratively to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, and chronic illness. Guided by the philosophy that “the problem is the problem”, I help clients separate themselves from their struggles and uncover their strengths to achieve personal growth.

I use an integrative and holistic approach, blending evidence-based modalities such as Narrative Therapy, CBT, ACT, trauma-informed care, biofeedback, and mindfulness. This flexible framework allows me to tailor each session to your unique needs, fostering resilience, empowerment, and self-advocacy.

In addition to working with individuals, couples, and teens, I design mental health programs, provide crisis support, and deliver training to enhance workplace well-being. I am passionate about equipping clients with the skills and confidence to advocate for their needs within mental health and healthcare systems.

What I Offer:

A Safe Space: Emotionally and physically welcoming, where you can explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. Compassionate Support: Empathy, understanding, and unconditional positive regard in every session. Collaborative Care: Respect for your autonomy and agency, ensuring your voice is central to the process. Empowerment Tools: Practical strategies to build resilience and navigate life’s challenges. Growth and Connection: A focus on fostering personal strengths and meaningful relationships. I believe that therapy is not just about solving problems—it’s about creating the conditions for a more fulfilling and empowered life. If you’re ready to take the next step toward meaningful change, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can create a path forward that honours your journey and helps you thrive.

Hi, I’m Kim, a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) at Blink Integrative Mental Health & Consulting. I am passionate about supporting individuals and families in navigating life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based strategies. Over the past three years, I have worked with clients experiencing complex health issues, to address a wide range of concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, family dynamics, and life stressors. My therapeutic approach is integrative and holistic, combining techniques such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), mindfulness-based strategies, and trauma-focused modalities like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). In addition to general mental health concerns, I have focused in working with individuals experiencing schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Through the use of evidence-based therapies, including CBT for psychosis (CBTp), DBT, and family-focused interventions, I help clients manage symptoms, improve daily functioning, and strengthen relationships. “I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. My work is grounded in the belief that every individual has the strengths and resources necessary to achieve meaningful change. This is accomplished through:

• A Trauma-Informed Lens: Recognizing the impact of past experiences on present-day resilience and relationships. • A Strength-Based Approach: Highlighting and leveraging clients’ inherent abilities to overcome challenges. • Holistic Integration: Blending therapeutic strategies like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness with a focus on emotional, mental, and personal wellness.”I have experience working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, ensuring that care is compassionate, respectful, and attuned to the unique needs of every client. Outside of therapy, I enjoy light reading, spending time in nature, and playing board games with my family. I am a firm advocate for self-care and encourage clients to discover what wellness looks like for them. I look forward to supporting you in building resilience, fostering connections, and creating meaningful change in your life. “There is hope even when your brain tells you there isn’t” – John Green

Hi, I’m Allison Zhou, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology.My mission is to empower individuals and couples through personalized, evidence-based therapy that fosters meaningful and lasting transformation.

I specialize in trauma therapy, couples therapy, and older adult therapy, offering a compassionate and inclusive space for clients from diverse cultural, religious, and personal backgrounds. With a strong foundation in both clinical practice and research, I take a highly tailored, trauma-informed approach to therapy—helping clients understand how past experiences shape their emotions, behaviours, and relationships today.

Beyond psychotherapy, I have a deep interest in nutritional psychology and its connection to mental well-being. I believe in a holistic approach to healing, integrating lifestyle and nutrition to support emotional resilience and overall wellness.

To me, healing isn’t about erasing pain but about transforming life’s challenges into a meaningful narrative of strength and growth. Together, we will uncover your strengths, process past wounds, and build a life rooted in purpose, connection, and fulfillment.

Outside of my work, I find joy in hiking, experimenting in the kitchen, and spending time with loved ones—including my furry companions. These experiences keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of balance, reflection, and the beauty of everyday life.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey with wisdom, understanding, and a compassionate presence.
