Mary Wang Intern Therapist, MDiv (Cand.)
Life can feel heavy, and at times, quietly overwhelming. With a background in non-profit work and experience supporting children and youth- particularly those with neurodevelopmental differences such as autism- I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals in some of their most vulnerable and formative seasons. I deeply believe that while we live in a broken world, hope remains present, steady, and worth holding onto.
I approach each person with warmth, gentleness, and a calm attentiveness, seeking to create a space where you can feel deeply heard, understood, and safe. My work is shaped by a commitment to seeing you as you are- without assumptions- recognizing that every part you share offers a glimpse into your story, while also honoring that there is always more beneath the surface. I value curiosity, stillness, and the unfolding of your story at its own pace.
With a Master of Divinity in Clinical Counselling, I integrate a holistic approach that considers emotional, psychological, relational, and spiritual dimensions. I have a heart for supporting those navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relational challenges, and questions of faith, and I am open to thoughtfully integrating Christian perspectives into the therapeutic process to those who wish to have it.

While these questions may feel overwhelming, a therapist can provide the support and guidance you need to navigate these feelings and find a path toward healing.
I’m thrilled to have you here. As we embark on this journey together, my priority is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I want to emphasize that my approach is rooted in understanding the complexities of your unique identity.

I aim to provide a safe and inclusive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment and feel understood.
In addition to my clinical practice, I have extensive experience in mental health research. I have been a part of teams at CAMH, Sunnybrook Hospital, and St. Michael’s Hospital. I particularly focused on mood and personality disorders, as well as working with clients who have experienced suicidal thoughts. This background informs my approach and allows me to integrate evidence-based strategies tailored to your specific needs.
Together, we’ll uncover insights and develop strategies that resonate with you. Your story is unique, and I’m honoured to be a part of your path toward healing and growth.
