Fang Wei

There’s usually a moment — a relationship under strain, a season that simply will not lift, or a quiet sense that who you’ve become no longer matches who you want to be — when reaching out starts to feel less optional. Fang Wei works with people in exactly those moments, offering individual, couples, and family counselling to teenagers, young adults, women, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, eating concerns, sleep difficulties, and the pressures of immigration and life transitions.

As someone who immigrated from China and built a counselling practice shaped by that experience, Fang Wei brings a cross-cultural lens that rarely needs explaining to clients who carry hyphenated identities or who feel the tension between the values they were raised with and the life they are living now. Her training at Yorkville University grounds her in CBT, and her additional clinical work in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy means she can help someone notice, for instance, how the habit of reaching for a phone the moment discomfort surfaces is quietly reinforcing the emotional avoidance they came in to address.

Sessions begin with an honest assessment of where a client is and what direction feels right to them. From there, the work may move between body sensations, thought patterns, relational dynamics, or — where it matters to the client — faith. The aim throughout is not symptom management alone, but a life that feels genuinely worth living. Online sessions are available.
