Meet Lê-Anh Dinh-Williams
Lê-Anh Dinh-Williams is a psychologist whose work reflects eFIT’s commitment to integrated, thoughtful, and values-driven care. She brings together deep clinical training, leading-edge psychological research, and a genuine respect for the complexity of each person’s lived experience.
Lê-Anh completed her PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Toronto, where her research explored how people experience meaning, motivation, and reward, particularly in the context of depression and emotional suffering. Her doctoral work was supervised by internationally recognized leaders in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and affective neuroscience, and her research has been published in top peer-reviewed journals and international handbooks. She is the recipient of numerous prestigious national and international awards, including a highly competitive federal doctoral scholarship.
Clinically, Lê-Anh has trained and worked across private practice, hospital, and university settings, supporting individuals navigating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, emotion dysregulation, chronic pain, substance use, and difficulties related to self-harm and suicidality. She has advanced training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-focused approaches such as Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy.
A defining feature of Lê-Anh’s work is her passion for helping people reconnect with what feels meaningful, alive, and sustaining in their lives. Her research and clinical practice both emphasize mindfulness, emotion regulation, and the cultivation of skills that support long-term well-being — aligning closely with eFIT’s holistic and preventative approach to mental health.
Lê-Anh is known for her warm, grounded, and collaborative presence. She strives to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, curious, and non-judgmental, where clients are supported not only in reducing distress, but also in building insight, resilience, and a more connected relationship with themselves. She values working alongside clients as active partners in their growth, integrating evidence-based strategies with compassion and respect for the whole person.
