Louis Law

I am currently at Student Intern at Positive Minds Psychotherapy Services under the supervision of Phyllis Ng. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO), a student member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT), and currently completing his Master’s degree in Counselling Psychotherapy (MACP).

Being a second generation Chinese Canadian, I am dedicated to empowering individuals and families through culturally sensitive therapy. Being born into the vibrant cultural tapestry of Toronto, I developed a deep appreciation for the intersection of cultural identity and mental health. Through a collaborative and non-judgmental therapeutic approach, I help clients navigate challenges, develop coping skills, and cultivate resilience to lead more fulfilling lives. 

I am trained to work with issues such as anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma, seeking healing and personal growth. I believe clients need a safe space to explore their emotions, insights, and coping strategies. Goals of treatment involve increased self-awareness, improved mental well-being, and healthier relationships. I aim to provide relief from distress for clients and a deeper understanding of themselves, hoping for lasting emotional resilience and fulfillment.
 
I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and emotion focused therapy (EFT). I provide a safe space for clients to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through evidence-based techniques, I help develop coping skills, challenge negative thoughts, and cultivate mindfulness for improved well-being.In therapy, I offer a supportive environment to explore your challenges and strengths. Together, we’ll work on developing coping strategies and fostering personal growth. If you’re ready to embark on this journey toward healing and self-discovery, I invite you to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Just as every person differs, I can expect every client to be a unique experience. Clients who are facing discomfort in their lives and are active in their search for change can find comfort in the space we create together. Allow me to be your guide alongside you on your path to self-discovery . By developing a comfortable relationship with one another, we will explore your core beliefs and emotions that present themselves through dysfunction. I work primarily through a trauma-informed client-centered approach which keeps you as my focus.

I am glad you are here. It can be daunting to take the first step to begin therapy. It can be just as overwhelming to select a therapist that is the right fit for you!

My Story

In 1995, my family and I immigrated to Calgary for a brighter future amid uncertainty in Hong Kong. Overcoming challenges, my parents, who initially worked multiple jobs and pursued continuing education, now happily enjoy retirement. Witnessing their journey inspired me to assist newcomers facing similar hurdles.

I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a concentration in Ethnicity, Immigration, and Multiculturalism at the University of Calgary. I explored how cultural rules and norms impact people and how I may positively support individuals through micro and macro levels. Upon graduation, I worked as a Human Resources professional for seven years, recruiting and settling foreign workers committed to providing a safe and fair environment for all workers so they may be successful in life.

As my personal life progressed, and I started a family, I decided to take a step back from my career and opted for a more balanced profession in career advising. As I helped foreign-trained doctors get licensed and find work in Canada, I realized that organizational support was not enough. We must look inward to find strengths within ourselves and eliminate mental barriers to enhance our well-being, realize our potential, and improve our relationships with ourselves, others, and our society. These insights led me to complete my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree. After that, I obtained my Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) credential through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and became a member of the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta (ACTA).

Beyond work, I volunteer in the community, enjoying time with my family and friends through food, music, and outdoor activities. Fluent in Cantonese, I have a basic understanding of Mandarin. I look forward to connecting with you and learning from your unique strengths and values.
