Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Welcome! Many of us long for deeper connections with ourselves and those around us. However, we often find ourselves trapped in repetitive patterns, neglecting our own needs, and struggling with ineffective communication patterns with our loved ones. I specialize in working with individuals and couples dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, feelings of low self-worth and powerlessness, as well as experiences of abandonment, shame, and other emotional wounds stemming from challenging backgrounds, life events, and trauma.

Anxiety leaves us feeling overwhelmed, nervous, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling nervous in social or performance situations, chronically exhausted from poor sleep due to overthinking, or frustrated because you struggle with making even the simplest of decisions. Or perhaps you worry about what the future holds for your relationships, career and health, and the uncertainty has become paralyzing. Whatever it may be, you are ready for some relief. You want to feel confident so you can face your future with a sense of purpose and hope, and I can help you get there.

I have helped parents and mothers through their unique journeys of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting for over a decade as a midwife, and now as a clinical counsellor. Within my counselling practice, I work with people who are somewhere along their reproductive or parenting journeys. I also work with individuals and couples who are at other life stages, such as looking to heal, grieve, and find balance or direction. I am also a counsellor at pregnancy loss and termination clinics in Vancouver, providing decision-making guidance, as well as coping, healing, and trauma support.

Hi! I’m Lauren (she/her). I’m here to help you heal, grow and thrive by tapping into the inner knowing and wisdom of your body and heart, and by encouraging you to step into your power and truth. The clients who seek me out are often on journeys of self discovery or facing life transitions that open up questions and possibilities about who they are, what matters most to them, and how they want to live. I was called to this work through my personal journey of owning my unique path in life, despite it being different than the societal expectations that I grew up with.

I am an individual and family therapist who works with adults, youth and families who are feeling overwhelmed. Common struggles include social and emotional challenges, mental health and/or substance use concerns. I work to empower you to face these challenges in practical, manageable steps, building on your inherent strengths.

Moments of struggle are inevitable. However, when we are at a crossroads, we can begin seeing ourselves more clearly. My practice, Liminal Space Counselling, is founded on the idea that the space between two points in our lives is a chance to reflect and begin again. I also offer a group on Self Compassion.

My aim is to help folks get to the bottom of their concerns, and to support them in making meaningful changes in their lives. Sometimes we have the sense that something is not quite right, even if we cannot pinpoint what exactly it is. Other times we may want to get out of our heads and feel more present. Whatever your concern, I am here to support you in discerning what it is that’s in the way from allowing you to live the life you want to live. Together, you and I will work to identify and unpack your lived experiences and the values that inform where it is you want to go.

I strongly believe that we all have the capacity to heal and to move towards our preferred future. We often can't do this alone. Collaborating with you and attuning my practice to ways that work best for you, I offer a safe space for reflection and insight building. I have worked with a broad range of people over the years and bring with me a commitment to anti-oppressive practice and attention to the contexts that contribute to suffering and to healing. We are living in a time of immense stress and increased isolation and this takes a toll. Reaching out for support is an important act of wellness and I welcome your enquiry.

Hello, I am glad you are reading my profile and hope we can connect! My name is Natasha Roop (she/they), and I am a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive therapist. I am Splatsin First Nations and European and am working to help decolonize the field of counselling. Individuals who seek my counselling services want to take back their power and better understand themselves on a deeper level. I work with individuals unpacking their racial, gender and sexual identity and the effects of structures in our society. With other individuals, we process and work through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life changes, and addiction/substance abuse.

Are you struggling with sleepless nights, racing thoughts, loss or sadness? Are issues from the past returning causing you distress and feelings of hopelessness? Is substance use causing problems? Like so many people, you may have experienced an increase in your struggles, leading to higher levels of anxiety, depression or a re-emergence of past traumas. Anxiety, depression and trauma are stressful and affect your physical health, emotional balance, and mental clarity. Understanding your experiences, learning to manage them, and cultivating health during uncertain times is crucial!

I draw on the commonalities that exist between therapeutic approaches, and am aligned with anti-oppression perspectives. I utilize deep, introspective practices and pragmatic, solution-oriented practices to help clients cultivate greater self-compassion; achieve greater effectiveness in their relationships and communities; and grow towards deeper fulfillment in their lives. I am also able to offer a truly holistic therapy, combining talk therapy, mindfulness, and movement. I am a good fit for those impacted by marginalization, those with shame and self-esteem challenges, those impacted by trauma and addiction, and for couples.

You might feel like you’re floating aimlessly in the sea of life with no direction or purpose, or perhaps life has handed you a few too many unexpected and distressing experiences, and you might feel like you’re treading water just to barely stay afloat. Even more, the expectations and standards of society, or the people around you might be making you feel even worse. If you’re feeling any of these ways, please know that you aren’t alone, and despite what society might tell you: nothing is fundamentally wrong with you.
