Lisa Hua, R. Psych.
Registered Psychologist, Practice Owner
I am a Registered Psychologist specializing in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, OCD, and relational trauma. I have worked in the mental health field since 2010 and have spent the past eight years in private practice. Outside of my therapy practice, I also provide psychological assessment services for Children’s Services and court-ordered assessments.
My experience spans inner-city, public care, and educational settings, giving me the opportunity to work with people facing a wide range of challenges and life experiences.
I offer evidence-based treatments that directly target the core symptoms of anxiety and OCD, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I also work from a depth psychology perspective and offer Psychodynamic Therapy to explore the deeper relational patterns and experiences that often contributes to emotional conflicts.
