Ms Aris Toh, MC
Psychotherapist
“There is a line of thought that associates happiness with three pillars, pleasure, virtue and wisdom. When we are faced with challenging times, how do we continue to stay the course in search of happiness? I work with clients to find tools within themselves and around them to navigate the challenges and work towards self actualization and fulfillment. I am experienced in topics ranging from stress, anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation and relationship management. My practice tends towards the integration of modalities, ranging from cognitive behavioral therapy to trauma treatment modalities.”
