About Krista Therapist in Vancouver
Walking alongside children of immigrant parents as we heal intergenerational trauma and reconnect with the inner child.

My Approach
A space for new possibilities
Hello! I’m Krista Sao (she/her). I have an innate desire to support others, because I know firsthand how deeply our mental health can shape every part of our lives when left unattended. Moving through the world without the tools you need can feel overwhelming, and uncertainty about how to move forward can give rise to feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt.
In our work together, we’ll focus on building new relationships with your experiences and the ways you make meaning of them. I’ll invite you to stay curious as we explore at a pace that feels safe and natural. You are the expert on your own life—I am simply here to help create space for new possibilities to emerge.
My hope is that you learn to build a more trusting, compassionate relationship with yourself—one rooted in confidence, self-awareness, and choice. As you strengthen your ability to sit with and process uncomfortable emotions, your inner healer grows. Avoidance may offer temporary comfort, but your inner healer holds the capacity to create lasting change.
