I'm Luigi Garde, a Registered Psychotherapist whose work is grounded in psychodynamic therapy. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed: I meet clients where they are, and I hold space for the full weight of what they're carrying, their emotions, their history, the patterns that repeat without permission.

There are seasons when life asks more of us than it usually does. Psychotherapy, in those seasons, becomes a place to trace a pattern back to its root, and to meet the parts of yourself that stay quiet everywhere else. I work with anxiety, depression, self-worth, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, not by handing over answers, but by staying curious alongside you until the shape of the thing becomes clear.

For over 31 years I've trained in Karate, competing internationally for Team Canada. That world taught me what pressure does to a mind, and how a mind can be trained to meet it. I bring that into mindset coaching for athletes and performers.

I work with people of all backgrounds and ages, and I try to build a room where everyone who enters it feels heard and genuinely supported. Sessions are available in English and Tagalog, so you can speak in whatever language your feelings actually live in.
