About Anto Chan
My name is Anto Chan and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying, Expressive Arts Therapist, and Registered Early Childhood Educator. My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy is a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported, as well as creativity and connection help us better understand ourselves and our experiences.
I specialize in working with intergenerational trauma, neurodivergence, identity, and men's issues, helping clients make sense of their experiences, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect with themselves. Whether you're struggling with emotional regulation, family or cultural expectations, self-worth, relationships, or feeling stuck in patterns that seem difficult to change, we'll work together to explore what's underneath and find approaches that feel authentic to you.
In addition to my specialization, I also support children, adolescents, adults, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, ADHD, autism, and trauma. I have particular experience working with children and families, and supporting clients navigating Asian and intergenerational experiences, 2SLGBTQ+ identities, and questions around belonging and identity. I work with clients offering therapy in English, Cantonese, and French, always with a culturally sensitive and individualized approach.
My style is integrative, relational, and creative, drawing from evidence-based methods like:
-
Expressive Arts Therapy
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
-
Somatic Therapy
-
Narrative Therapy
-
Experiential Therapy
-
Play Therapy
In our work together, you can expect a space that’s grounded, compassionate, curious, and non-judgmental. You don't need to be an artist to benefit from expressive art z therapy, and you don't have to have everything figured out before you reach out. Whether you're looking to understand yourself better, navigate relationships and family dynamics, reconnect with your identity and creativity, or heal from the past, we can work together to find a path forward that feels right for you.
