Wini Lin
Registered Psychotherapist (RP) -
Hello! My name is Wini Lin, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I hold a Master of Pastoral Studies (Buddhist stream) from Emmanuel College, at the University of Toronto, with a Certificate in Spiritual Care & Psychotherapy. My training consisted of working with different populations in my practicums in Scarborough Health Network, CAMH, Baycrest, and Southwest Centre for Forensic Mental Health Care.
I would like to first acknowledge that it takes a lot of courage to seek help from someone whom you do not yet know. Thank you for your courage and willingness to do so.
Sometimes life seems difficult, and we may feel like nothing is working. We may feel lonely, isolated, self-doubt, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, hopeless, and helpless. We long for connections, while afraid of being hurt. We hope that someone can listen to us and validate our emotions, suffering, and struggles; we hope to be seen, heard, and cared for. However, it can be scary to reach out for support, showing our vulnerabilities and not knowing how others will respond to them.
My wish is to create a hospitable space, where there is no judgment. It is a safe space for you to share your experiences, struggles, and emotions. I am here to be with you and listen to you. Now, shall we begin?
You can find out more about me at squirrelhealing.ca and of course, you are welcome to make an appointment!
