RPC, reg. #4174
She/Her
Humans are born as WHOLE beings; we are worthy of love and crave attachment, safety, and
connection. Sometimes, we experience life events that may make us feel separated not just
from others but from ourselves, too. We may start feeling stressed, angry, lonely, depressed,
hurt, abandoned or unworthy of love.
With that in mind, my sessions offer support to:
-
Individuals and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, parenting, relationship and life transitions, or marriage struggles.
-
Individuals and couples who struggle with infertility, pregnancy loss and postpartum
depression.
-
Individuals and couples who are trying to conceive a child via donor.
-
Individuals and couples who are coping with involuntary childlessness.
-
Parents who need support
Blended Families
- I teach communication and emotional intelligence to individuals and groups.
I am a registered Clinical Counsellor with the designation RPC and work with individuals,
couples, families, organizations, and workplace teams.
Therapeutic Approach:
- Knowing that each person is unique, a person-centered approach is applied in our sessions.
The core of this approach is reflective listening. It provides you with perspectives and support
as you go through the stages of change and healing at a safe and comfortable pace. Each of us holds unique cultural, personal, and societal values. Using a person-centered approach, we
will work together to assist you in acquiring a personalized and practical set of tools you can
use daily to achieve your goals.
Having experienced trauma, loss, and infertility grief in my personal life, I know what it feels
like to be stuck, helpless, and, worst of all, hopeless. My core values of compassion, inclusion, integrity, and community motivate me to promote good mental health and its positive impact on quality of life. I do my inner work and strive to constantly improve and stay informed with
the latest research and practice in psychology and human experience.
Therapeutic Strengths:
- Our sessions are focused on building authentic connections and creating a space where you can feel safe, seen and heard. Healing requires participation, and doing so will help explore
your stages of readiness to do the work. The sessions are based on various modalities such as person-centered, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, family systems, internal family
systems, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, body movement, and more. We will tap into your inner strengths and reach a place of empowerment and hope. With the tools you learn in our sessions, they will help you re-write your story and have the happy, fulfilling life you were meant to live.

Hi, my name is Zoe Ho (she/they). I am a trauma-informed registered clinical counsellor
(RCC) #21175 at Crossroads Naturopathic. As well, I have 10 years+ experience as a somatic therapist and yoga instructor (PRYT 600; E-RYT-500).
I am a first-generation
immigrant, storyteller and artist who has lived and worked in Asia, Vancouver and in
Canada’s Arctic; where I worked to bring powerful Indigenous voices to broadcast and
print media. This experience taught me deep empathy and listening, propelling my
journey into yoga and somatic therapy training, followed by a Masters in Counselling
Psychology.
In between, I survived cancer, divorce, and marginalization trauma, and learnt to
emerge with resilience, humour, curiosity, and self-compassion. I now infuse these
ingredients into my evidence-based work with clients.
I facilitate embodied-mindfulness workshops for national cancer support organizations,
and corporate clients such as Gallup Inc., and Google Asia.

Mindful and intuitive eating and the practice of this.
Stress management and relaxation techniques, naturopathic counselling are an integral part of my practice each day at the clinic
Herbal medicine and clinical nutrients may be incorporated into your plan
My practice has evolved over the past 17 years. I have felt drawn to focus much more on the care of hormonal health throughout our lives and as we age, mental and emotional well-being.
With my undergraduate degree in exercise science, I continue to have a genuine love for the amazing ways our bodies respond to exercise and movement which I often incorporate into my treatment plans with patients. My studies in naturopathic medical school at Bastyr University in Seattle, led me to a focus on women’s and children’s health, which I still deeply care about today in my practice.
Personally, I love to spend time outside trying to keep up with my two kids, who keep me hopping and remind me each day how to be a better human. I consider myself a lifelong student or learner of how to care for others, how to be compassionate with myself and how to juggle everything that each day brings!
Come and chat to me and we can help you begin your journey to optimal health and vitality!
