Clarissa was born in Canada and moved to Hong Kong with her family at three years old. She came back when she was 18. She experienced racism in part due to people perceiving her “accent.” She is raising her children to navigate differences and urges people to be curious, unlearn, self-reflect, find, and create compassionate spaces for community.
Clarissa Ee is a psychologist and couples therapist supporting clients across Alberta and Ontario, Canada. Born in Toronto and raised in Hong Kong, Clarissa embraces the complexity of growing up between cultures. This experience has shaped her commitment to staying curious about the client's culture, values, and beliefs. She feels honoured to offer her services in both English and Cantonese, aiming to create a supportive space where clients can freely express themselves. Clarissa has a special interest in supporting couples who are growing their families and navigating parenthood. She finds her work deeply meaningful, as she believes that small shifts in the parents' relationship can have a positive generational impact. As a mom of two, she is intentional about modelling curiosity, courage, and compassion. She values having open dialogues across generations to address anti-racism, with the hope of creating a safer and more inclusive world.
