Object Relations Therapy
Renee Chu
Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, battling anxiety, ADHD, Autism, or struggling with intense emotions and impulses? Do you find navigating social cues and communication challenging, making it difficult to build fulfilling relationships? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the influences behind your recurring patterns, so that you can achieve deep transformation and satisfaction. As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist experienced in navigating neurodivergent challenges, complex relationship dynamics, family/intergenerational issues, and narcissistic abuse, I tailor my approach to personal and relational growth, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.
My priority is to empower you to develop confidence, resilience, balance and a positive self-image. My therapy practice is also rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay of our common humanity and individual uniqueness. I use a bicultural and mindfulness lens to draw from my own process of self-discovery and emotional experience to meet you in yours.
Meaningful change is possible and I am here to walk that path with you at your pace. Together, we can reshape entrenched habits that no longer serve you and overcome barriers. Reach out to me for a complimentary 50-minute consultation to begin your journey towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I know how difficult it can be to navigate the complexities of life, especially when trauma, relationships, or identity issues weigh heavy on your heart. I’m here to offer you a safe, affirming space where you can begin the process of healing, at your own pace, and on your own terms.
Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of sexual trauma, exploring your LGBTQ+ identity, or simply seeking to understand the patterns in your life that no longer serve you, I am committed to walking beside you through every step of the journey. You don’t have to do this alone. In therapy with me, you’ll experience a unique blend of evidence-based therapies, creative techniques, and a deeply empathetic, collaborative approach. I’ll work with you to find what resonates, whether it’s EMDR, psychodynamic exploration, somatic therapy, meditation, or a combination of tools that evolve as your needs shift. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, meaning I always respect your pace, your boundaries, and your journey. We’ll create a space where your healing is not just possible, but empowered.
I offer flexible evening and late-night sessions, making it easier for you to prioritize your well-being—even with a busy schedule. My online practice allows me to meet you where you are, whether that’s through Zoom or telephone, and I’m fully committed to being present with you during our sessions—so you get the support you deserve when you need it most.
With over a decade in mental health, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals. From my early days supporting Haitian refugees abroad, to my experience working with neurodiverse young adults and seniors, I have helped people from many walks of life navigate complex emotions, trauma, and identity. While I specialize in sexual trauma and LGBTQ+ care, I believe healing is unique to each person—and I’m here to support you, no matter your background, experience, or life stage. Whether you’re exploring deep emotional patterns, working through trauma, or seeking more connection in your relationships, I’m committed to adapting my approach to meet your needs and helping you move forward at your own pace.
If you’re ready to begin this journey, take the first step today—together, we’ll find the path that works best for you. I’m here to help you heal, grow, and thrive.

26 Years Experience
Online in Victoria, BC British Columbia
Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
