Happy Holidays from all of us at Building Bridges Psychotherapy 💙

The holidays don’t have to look one specific way to be meaningful. Loud or quiet, full calendars or slow days, all of it counts.

We recently gathered for our BB holiday party, and it was such a great reminder of what matters most. Being together, sharing real conversations, and enjoying the kind of connection that makes everything feel a bit lighter.

However you’re spending the season, we hope it brings moments that feel grounding, connected, and genuinely yours.

Wishing you warmth, ease, and a little extra light this holiday season 💫

Therapist Spotlight! 🌟

Meet Ping San Chi, MSocSc, RSW

Ping believes that everyone has the potential to heal, grow, and change, even when life’s challenges feel locked and impossible to move through. He often describes therapy as finding the key to barriers that once felt insurmountable, helping clients unlock greater freedom, insight, and connection.

With over a decade of clinical experience, Ping brings a strengths-based, compassionate approach to his work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. He creates a safe, supportive space where clients can explore trauma, addiction, family conflict, self-esteem, and emotional struggles without judgment. Grounded in evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness, Ping works collaboratively with clients to build new skills, gain clarity, and move toward lasting change.

Ping values each person’s unique story and tailors therapy to meet individual needs, believing that healing happens best within a strong, respectful therapeutic relationship. He offers individual, family, and group therapy in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, both in-person and virtually across Markham, Toronto, and Mississauga.

Getting the whole team in one room just hits differently.

Therapists from different offices, schedules, and lives, connecting, laughing, and slowing down together for a moment after a full year of showing up for others.

This was a night to celebrate all the amazing life-saving work that our heroes at BB do, day in day out, supporting our communities.

This night was also a reminder of why BB feels the way it does. It’s not just the work, but the people behind it, and the care we bring into the space with each other.

Happy holidays from all of us at BB. 💙

The gift that keeps on giving? Therapy. 😉

Not something you use once and forget.

Support that carries into how you think, relate, and move through daily life.

If you’ve spent this year showing up for everyone else, this is your reminder that your needs matter too.

You’re allowed support.

You’re allowed grounding.

You’re allowed to feel like yourself again.

And honestly? Therapy is a pretty solid place to start. 💙

If this is you, yeah… it may feel like Hallmark is personally attacking you. 🙃

The movies, the music, the cozy couples dancing in kitchens… it all hits differently when you’re moving through the holidays without the person you used to share them with.

The holidays come with expectations: slowing down, being with “your person,” sharing traditions, feeling connected.

When that relationship ends, the absence can feel louder than the noise around you.

You’re not imagining it.

This time of year has a way of magnifying the loss.

🔎 Old traditions feel heavier
🔎 Every movie plots a love story right in your face
🔎 Family gatherings bring up questions you don’t want to answer
🔎 And even happy moments feel… complicated

Breakups are hard.

Breakups during the holidays often bring an extra layer of tenderness, everything around you seems designed to remind you of what’s changed.

If this is your first season navigating it alone, be gentle with yourself.

Memories will show up. Emotions will shift. None of that means you’re going backwards, it means this mattered, and you’re human.

And as you move through it, look for moments that feel grounding: a new plan, a different ritual, a quieter way of being with people who don’t need you to pretend you’re “fine.”

You’re not behind.

You’re not failing.

You’re finding your footing again, slowly, honestly, in your own time. 💙

Therapists spend so much time caring for others… so at this year’s BB holiday party, we wanted to bring together a group of professionals who care for us, too. 💙

We were lucky to celebrate the season alongside incredible local partners who support wellness, confidence, and community in their own ways.







It felt really special to share space with people who believe in the same things we do: care, connection, and showing up for each other in meaningful ways.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event feel a little more nourishing, a little more supportive, and a lot more fun. 🥂

Here’s to community, inside and outside the therapy room. 💙

The holidays bring up… a lot. 😮💨

Joy, stress, nostalgia, heaviness, sometimes all in the same day.

And if your emotions don’t quite match the season, that doesn’t mean anything is wrong.

It just means you’re human.

You don’t have to force yourself into joy or pretend the hard feelings aren’t there. Pushing emotions away doesn’t make them disappear, it usually makes them hang on tighter.

But when you give yourself permission to feel what you feel, without judgment or pressure, things start to soften. Emotions move. They settle. They make a little more sense.

So if this season feels complicated or unexpectedly heavy… let that be okay.💙

We’re really honoured to share that Building Bridges Psychotherapy has been nominated for GTA’s Top Choice Psychotherapy Services of 2026. ⭐️

This nomination means a lot to us, not because of the title, but because it reflects the community we’ve built together.

At BB, everything starts with people.

Creating a space where therapists feel supported, respected, and genuinely cared for allows them to show up fully for their clients. And when that happens, therapy becomes what it’s meant to be… human, safe, and meaningful.

If BB has been your top choice for psychotherapy, we’d be incredibly grateful for your vote. Your support helps us continue building a practice rooted in connection, care, and accessibility for everyone who walks through our doors.

🗓 Voting closes December 18 at 12 PM EST
