Hana Urushizawa
Originally from Japan, Hana understands the struggles immigrants face when starting a new life in Canada. She has personally experienced feeling unheard, isolated, and being "out of place." She uses these experiences to listen and empathize with her clients' stories. Hana specializes in relationship challenges.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
