Hi, I’m Rachel (she/her), a Registered Clinical Counsellor and the founder of Pham Therapy. I support adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, eating and body image concerns, perfectionism, burnout, relationship patterns, life transitions, cultural or intergenerational pressures and more.

My approach is warm and collaborative. Together, we may explore how earlier experiences continue to shape your emotions, relationships, and ways of coping, while also developing practical tools to support you in everyday life. I will offer reflections, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you at a pace that feels manageable.

As a Vietnamese-born Asian Canadian therapist who grew up across cultures, I am especially attentive to experiences involving immigration, identity, family expectations, belonging, and intergenerational patterns. I approach conversations about culture with humility and curiosity, recognizing that each person’s relationship with culture is deeply personal.

My work draws from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, parts work, somatic therapy, and DBT-informed practices. I adapt our sessions to your needs, preferences, and goals rather than following one fixed approach.

Outside of the therapy room, you will usually find me spending time with my cat, cozying up with a good book, or chasing sunrises.
