Meet Our Therapy Team
Finding the right therapist is about more than cost. Your concerns, goals, identity, previous experiences with therapy, and the kind of therapeutic relationship you are looking for all matter.
Our clinicians bring different areas of focus and therapeutic approaches. We also offer different fee options across the team, including standard-fee psychotherapy, limited sliding-scale availability, and free student therapy.
Ciaran, Student Therapist – Free Therapy Program
Ciaran is a master’s-level student therapist completing her clinical practicum with Théla and provides psychotherapy under clinical supervision.
She supports clients who would like a compassionate space to explore ADHD, anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationships, identity, life transitions, and other everyday mental health concerns.
Working with a student therapist can be a good option for clients who are looking for consistent therapeutic support and are comfortable receiving care from a developing clinician whose work is supported through regular clinical supervision.
Through Théla’s Free Therapy Program, eligible clients may receive up to 12 psychotherapy sessions at no cost.
Fee: $0 for up to 12 sessions.
Free therapy spaces are limited and subject to availability, eligibility, clinical fit, and the scope of the student therapy program. Submitting a request does not guarantee placement.
Jennifer, MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Anxiety, Relationships & Emotional Wellbeing
Jennifer supports clients experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and personal growth.
Her work creates space for clients to slow down and better understand what is happening beneath their emotional responses. Therapy may involve identifying recurring patterns, exploring how previous experiences influence the present, strengthening coping skills, and developing more sustainable ways of responding to life’s challenges.
Jennifer may be a good fit for clients looking for a supportive and collaborative approach to emotional wellbeing, relationships, and personal growth.
Fee: Standard psychotherapy rate. Limited sliding-scale spaces may be available depending on availability and financial need.
Charlie, MA, Registered Psychotherapist
Anxiety, Emotional Wellbeing & Life Transitions
Charlie works with clients navigating anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, and significant life transitions.
His approach is collaborative and supportive, helping clients explore the patterns and experiences contributing to their current difficulties while developing practical ways to manage emotions, relationships, and everyday challenges.
Charlie may be a good fit for clients who want a therapeutic space that balances reflection, self-understanding, and practical change.
Fee: Standard psychotherapy rate.
Bonny Kaman Li, MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), EdD (Cand.)
Clinical Director | Trauma, Neurodivergence & Complex Mental Health
Bonny works primarily with clients whose experiences do not fit neatly into a single diagnosis or concern. Her areas of focus include trauma and complex PTSD, ADHD and autism, dissociation, emotional dysregulation, attachment and relational trauma, identity, and complex mental health presentations.
Her work is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from approaches such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), Emotion-Focused Therapy, DBT/CBT, somatic work, and nervous-system regulation. Therapy often focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on understanding why certain patterns developed, what function they have served, and how clients can develop a different relationship with themselves.
Bonny also works with clients navigating immigration, cultural identity, intergenerational experiences, and major life transitions, and provides therapy in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
Also available: EMDR therapy, EMDR intensives, couples therapy, and parent consultation.
Fee: Standard rate; limited reduced-fee spaces may be available based on financial need and availability.
Finding the Right Fit
Cost matters, but it is only one part of choosing a therapist.
You may want to consider:
- What you want help with — such as trauma, anxiety, ADHD, relationships, identity, or life transitions
- The level of complexity or specialization you need
- The therapist’s approach and areas of focus
- Language and cultural considerations
- Whether you prefer virtual or in-person therapy
- Your budget and whether you require sliding-scale or free therapy
If you are unsure who to work with, you do not need to make that decision alone. Our team can help you identify which clinician may be the best fit based on your needs, preferences, availability, and financial circumstances.
