Shekinah Chan, Therapist-in-Training

I bring my experience from Kids’ Help Phone to each session, along with a deep sense of curiosity and a commitment to creating a safe environment where you can feel open, honest, and truly seen in your feelings. I aim to meet you where you are, supporting you as you learn more about yourself and explore what it means to heal and grow.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can be honest with yourself; a safe place to experience your emotions fully. My approach is grounded in building a genuine connection, which allows us to process feelings like grief and trauma in a compassionate and secure setting. I’m especially passionate about exploring loss and the pain that can come with even the smallest of life’s changes.

Before enrolling in the Counselling Program at Tyndale University, I studied Psychology, Neuroscience, and Behaviour (with a specialization in Mental Health) at McMaster University. My time there helped me build a strong foundation in mental health and deepen my understanding of the mind.

In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with friends playing video games, listening to music (especially musicals), drawing, and finding new ways to keep my dog, Nala, entertained..
