Audrey Kao
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
You keep repeating the same painful patterns in your relationships, no matter who you're with. Maybe you're actively dating, and you find yourself reading into every shift in their tone, chasing reassurance, or losing yourself trying to be who you think they want. Maybe you keep going back to an ex even though it leaves you feeling worse each time. Or maybe you're in a committed relationship that's become a cycle of conflict and resentment, and you're tired of having the same fight on repeat. The exhausting part is that it keeps happening, and it's starting to shape how you see yourself.
If any of this feels familiar, you're in the right place. I'm a Registered Social Worker who helps people in their 20s and 30s make real, lasting changes in how they relate. My style is warm and practical, and I'll challenge you rather than just nod along.
Using attachment theory, we'll trace where these patterns began and build the security to break them.
These patterns can change. As you build real security within yourself, those painful patterns stop running the show, and you get to choose how you show up instead. You can feel calm and confident, whether partnered or single. The first step is a free, no-pressure meet & greet call—just reach out to set one up. I'd love to hear from you!

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.
