Huamei Kang

I moved to Vancouver from Northern China in 2008 and completed my BA at Simon Fraser University and my Master’s in Counselling at City University of Seattle. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I’ve worked in non-profit, rehabilitation, and private practice settings with children, adults, families, and couples.

As an immigrant myself, I understand the layered grief that can accompany migration: loss of belonging, identity crisis, and settlement challenges. Many of my clients feel pulled between family expectations and personal values. I offer a compassionate space to explore these tensions, helping clients develop a kinder relationship with themselves and clearer language for their boundaries, values, and sense of self.

My work is also shaped by my lived experience as a mother of a child with medical complexities. This has given me a deep understanding of chronic stress, disability, caregiver burnout, and the systemic barriers families often face. I hold deep respect for the invisible labour and ongoing advocacy many parents carry each day, and I bring empathy, insight, and practical understanding into the therapy room.

My approach is mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive. Therapy with me is collaborative and person-centered, supporting clients in slowing down, reconnecting with themselves, and building a life aligned with what matters most.

Clients often describe me as genuine, reflective, and compassionate. I’m committed to providing inclusive, thoughtful care and supporting clients in moving through life with greater agency and hope.

I offer family counselling, individual counselling, and couples counselling, with particular experience supporting clients through complex trauma and grief, loss, and bereavement.

I see clients through virtual care, making sessions accessible to clients anywhere in BC.
