Zelin Xu

I offer a warm, thoughtful space where you can slow down, be heard, and explore your experiences with care, curiosity, and compassion. My approach is culturally aware and trauma-informed, with deep respect for how family expectations, intergenerational patterns, and relationships shape who we become, and who we learn to be in the world. I don’t rush your process; instead, I walk beside you as we gently make sense of your emotions, strengthen your inner awareness, and support meaningful change in a way that feels safe, collaborative, and sustainable.

If you are carrying the weight of cultural pressure, family expectations, relationship challenges, anxiety, or a quiet desire to understand yourself more fully, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer affordable therapy at our Mississauga location, and online across Ontario, with sliding-scale options so cost isn’t a barrier. You deserve support that honours your story, your pace, and your wellbeing, and I’m here to help you take that step.

I have a background in applied psychology and social work, with hands-on experience in clinical support, crisis response, and rehabilitation settings. My work has focused on providing psychological and emotional support to individuals experiencing trauma, mood dysregulation, addiction-related concerns, brain injury, and acute mental health stressors, drawing on both professional roles and volunteer-based crisis support experience
