Lisa Hua

Registered Psychologist, Practice Owner

My vision for my practice grew out of my own encounters with the mental health system, where it often felt distant, minimized, and at times expected to share deeply personal aspects of my life with people who didn't yet feel safe. I would leave these appointments with pamphlets but didn't see change that would last. I knew we could do better.

​

I opened my practice as a place to just come as you are. In my practice, I offer a holistic and integrated experience, honouring the uniqueness of each person I work with. I consider your beliefs, worldviews, culture, roles/identities, and values - because they all matter.  The nuances of our lived experiences takes time to be understood and a space to be heard. 

​

I view my practice as a space to take that mental break and figure things out before you 'get back out there'. A space where you get to reflect and pause for a moment to be curious.
