“A gentle reminder”
Hi there, friend.
Thank you for taking that courageous step towards self-care and self-love, and for reach out for support when it feels tough. Your presence truly matters, and whatever you’re going through, know that we’re in this together.
Here’s a little about me
My name is Susan Rose Tang, a Registered Social Worker from in Ontario, Canada. I began my journey in my early teens, where I’ve learned how to reconcile with my own mental health alongside my culture as a woman with Vietnamese-Chinese heritage. It was challenging to say the least, and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my own social worker at that age. I guess you can say that’s where my motivation to become a social worker stemmed from.
In my practice
I’m a Registered Social Worker (OCSWSSW), and a Certified IFS Level 3 Therapist with advanced trainings in ancestral work exploring legacy and cultural burdens, betrayal and relational trauma, and somatic sensations. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and deeply relational. I don't believe therapy should be about fitting you into a particular model or telling you who you should become. Instead, I would love to work together to better understanding your internal world and find a process that feels meaningful and supportive to you.
Alongside psychotherapy, I’m passionate about supporting other clinicians and organizations through clinical supervision, consultation, and teaching. I offer supervision to both emerging and experienced clinicians who are interested in IFS, trauma-informed, somatic, and relational approaches. I also facilitate workshops and collaborate with organizations around topics such as trauma-informed care, burnout, team dynamics, ethics, and professional practice.
Beyond my professional life, I’m an avid reader, a believer in kindness, an earnest daughter of immigrant parents, a movie and cafe lover, a writer-in-progress, and a proud dog mom to an Australian Shepherd named Obi-Wan Kenobi (Obi for short).
