About Me
Hi there,
My name is Bonnie (Xiao Tong) Hutten. I offer English and Mandarin sessions to adolescents, adults, and couples across Ontario.
I completed my Master’s program in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario
Registration Number: 13818
My Story
I immigrated to Canada from China when I was 13 years old. Being caught between two different cultures and watching others go through the same challenges motivated me to go into a field to better help others. After close to a decade of working in Human Resources and witnessing many mental health struggles people have professionally and personally, I decided to pursue my long-term passion: counselling psychology.
I am a mother of two beautiful little humans, a wife in a multi-racial family, and a daughter of a blended family. As a result, I can empathetically connect with clients from diverse backgrounds and upbringings. I continue to strive to provide empathetic and compassionate support to clients and to learn from each of their unique strengths and resources.
