“I practice wholistic mental health, that is, I help people connect their mental health with physical, relational and spiritual health. In therapy, I use an integrative approach, combining psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, family systems and spiritual frameworks, to help my clients understand the internal and external processes that are affecting them. I believe in listening deeply to my clients’ verbalized and pre-verbalized desires, so we can co-create more life-giving solutions that fit with their inner needs and external context. Learning from my own personal and professional journey, I find great joy in seeing people grow and expand towards greater personal integration and relational satisfaction.” ~ Ng Wai Sheng, Psy.D.
