Maggie Yim  

About me

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a Professional Member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP). I am also a certified Emotionally Focused Therapist in EFCT (Couples), EFIT (Individuals), and EFFT (Families) through the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).

​

Areas of Support

I support individuals, couples, and families navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, including:

• Anxiety, panic attacks, and depression

• Stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm

• Trauma and PTSD

• Grief and loss

• Self-esteem and negative thinking patterns

• Sleep difficulties and low motivation

• Anger and emotional regulation

• Life transitions and cultural adjustment

• Relationship and family conflict

• Communication difficulties

• Parenting challenges and family dynamics

• Work-related stress

​

Couples & Relationship Support

I am a certified PREPARE/ENRICH® facilitator offering structured, evidence-based premarital and relationship enrichment counselling. I work with couples at various stages of their relationship, including those experiencing distress, to strengthen communication, rebuild emotional connection, and develop healthier patterns of relating, drawing from Family Systems Theory.

In addition to couples work, I support parents, as well as adoptive and foster families, using research-based tools that promote deeper understanding, stronger connection, and more resilient family relationships.

​

Education & Professional Background

I hold a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) in Clinical Counselling from Tyndale University College and Seminary (2017).

I have worked in family service agencies, mental health clinics, medical settings, and community organizations. I have also served as a guest speaker at the Global Chinese Institute of Applied Theology and have been invited to facilitate educational workshops for community groups.

​

My Approach

My approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens within a safe, supportive, and trusting therapeutic relationship. I strive to offer a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected as they explore their experiences at their own pace.

I take an integrative, evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing from:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

• Focusing-Oriented Therapy

• Play Therapy

• Mindfulness-based approaches

​

Clinical Supervision

I am also a Clinical Supervisor, providing supportive and reflective supervision for therapists and Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying). My supervision focuses on clinical skill development, ethical practice, professional growth, and strengthening therapeutic confidence.

​

My Commitment

With a culturally responsive and intersectional lens, I am committed to walking alongside clients in their unique journeys. I aim to help individuals access their resilience, build on their strengths, and develop practical emotional and coping skills that support meaningful and lasting change.
