Hi there, I'm Karina! I am a registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC. I did my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Ramapo College of New Jersey and completed my Masters in Counselling Psychology at Adler University in Vancouver, BC. I specialize in relieving depression and anxiety, coping with stress and trauma, and coping with Mood Affect Disorders. As someone who has had personal experiences with mental health, felt unheard and sat in the client chair, I strive to be someone who can listen to peoples unheard voices.

Welcome to my practice. I am based in Vancouver and work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and parenting challenges. In collaboration with clients, I aim to foster an increasing awareness of what has happened till now to bring you to this point; to normalize feelings and experiences, especially those relating to trauma; and to facilitate a connection to your inner knowing. I believe that in the uncomfortable parts of life, the challenges and the chaos, we can learn to maintain healthy connections within ourselves and with our loved ones and community.

Currently accepting new clients for online/in-person sessions in Gastown, Downtown Vancouver in a therapeutic space known as Heartspace! If you are feeling blocked from joy or authenticity whether by stress, anxiety, negative cycles or Inner Critic, I warmly welcome you to work with me to reconnect with yourself in meaningful and creative ways. I work with children (aged 3+) and adults with anxiety, stress/burnout, trauma, and interpersonal/family issues; and empower BIPOC, women, university students and working individuals in their 20s to 30s explore personal growth, self-esteem, perfectionism, inner critic and imposter syndrome.

Not good enough. Not lovable enough. Helpless. Hopeless. Do you feel bullied by thoughts like these day in and day out? The sad fact is negative thoughts can stay with you long after abuse and neglect have passed. And they can be even more powerful when they gang up on you with your body, so you feel depressed and anxious. This can leave you struggling with an altered sense of yourself and the world.

Do you want to feel less anxious and overwhelmed? Is your inner critic constantly running you down? We all have an inner critic, and when it gets too strong, it can cause us a tremendous amount of suffering. In therapy with me, you will learn how to reduce the power of this critic, and experience greater self esteem and more confidence in all areas of your life, including: work, family, relationship and friends. I help adults of all ages and stages of life to overcome anxiety and depression, work through trauma and grief, and improve their relationships.

If you are feeling stuck in your past, old ways of coping, or are replaying painful memories I want you to know that there is hope for your future. I work with many people, who, like you, each have unique stories, and have done their best to push forward and to leave their hurts behind. You may be surrounded by people, and yet feel a longing in your life for deeper connection and relationships. You might even feel disconnected from yourself, your body, and others. Perhaps you have tried to cope with the distress by turning to substances, food, self-harm, shopping, work, or other ways of feeling in control.

Welcome! Within a non-judgemental and trauma informed framework I strive to provide a safe, welcoming and compassionate space for clients. Whether you are looking to explore and heal the impact of the past, manage the present or envision the future therapy may be the next step on your journey. I am an RCC with a Masters in Counselling Psychology from UBC. I work with adults, youth, children, couples and families experiencing a range of challenges including recent or past trauma, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, struggles in personal or work relationships, parenting and family relationships, and co-parenting after separation.

The Vancouver Psychology Centre is a group of like-minded professionals here to provide evidence-based assessment, consultation and treatment to all ages who seek greater happiness and meaning in their lives. Our Psychologists, Counsellors, Art Therapists and Youth Care Workers use the science of psychology and apply it to the goals of positive emotion and connection. We highlight people's strengths and use Positive Psychology's science and techniques to maximize positive emotion, virtuous personal characteristics, fulfilment with life and to improve connection with others.

I am a certified clinical counsellor working with individuals, couples, children and families. My practice encourages a holistic approach where I help clients to heal by providing tools for awareness and recognizing their entire human and life experience in an integrative approach to healing the mind. The therapeutic modalities used in session will depend on the client’s needs. However, I have a specialized focus on complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression, abuse, stress, emotional overwhelm and work/life balance. The work I do is a person centred approach, following the needs of the client to where they want to go.

Phone or online video support for Frontline Healthcare Workers for Covid-19 Pandemic. Stress, anxiety, burnout, PTSD. You want change and are open to looking at yourself in a new way. I offer a space to explore ways to incorporate feelings into your existence and integrate them with your thinking mind, so that you can make more informed choices about how to live. I believe you have the inner knowledge to grow and live more in harmony with who you really are. By listening well, being present and responding genuinely, I will help you tap into your own resources.

The most important element in any counselling relationship is the development of a trusting, therapeutic alliance. Together, we can pinpoint the obstacles that prevent you from thriving and develop strategies to remove them. Healing can be complex, and everyone's experience is different. I don't apply a "cookie cutter" approach to my practice. My core belief is that we all have strengths of which we are sometimes unaware. Whether your healing journey relates to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, low self-esteem or addiction, I will be a committed partner in it. You are not alone.

Hi, I’m Gabriela and I’m so happy you are looking for support. I specialize in addressing issues of trauma, anxiety, and parenting challenges and have specific training in these areas to support you to lighten the heavy loads you no longer want to hold on to. If you have suffered a traumatic experience, gone through a series of challenging situations, struggled with managing your own thoughts, or are just feeling overwhelmed, you don't need to go through this alone. By searching for a counsellor, you are already taking an important step in improving your mental health and I can support you in continuing that journey.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor who loves working with children, teenagers, adults and parents toward a fulfilling life that is envisioned by them. I believe that seeking counselling is one of the most important decisions that people can make for themselves and their loved ones. Embarking on a journey of self growth and healing can be difficult; yet, I know firsthand that the results are worthwhile. Most clients work with me to better manage stress, anxiety, depression, marital challenges, family conflicts, phobias and ADHD.

Do you feel that life gets you going in circles, leaving you distressed, stuck, or barely holding on? You may be asking yourself: How can I deal with my constant worrying, fears or need for perfection? What can I do to better manage my kids, relate to them, or give them the guidance they need? Or how can I stop my negative thoughts, feelings, nightmares or flashbacks? If you're finding yourself grasping for answers, I'm here to say there's hope! I believe our mental health is an ongoing journey, with its ebbs and flows along life's path. As a fellow companion walking alongside you, we can work together to navigate a way forward.

We believe the client + counsellor must fit, so we have multiple practitioners with two locations so you can choose a therapist with whom you connect. Each of us endeavour to understand you and your experiences. We have a deep interest in how emotional regulation, identity and family dynamics can be factors that contribute to and protect people in the development of physical and mental health disorders. Our counselling styles can be described as empathic & solution-focused. We provide an environment free from judgement and believe honesty and acceptance are fundamental to personal growth and change.

I work primarily with children (ages 5 +), youth, and their families. A strong focus of mine is working with trauma, abuse, issues surrounding belonging, abandonment, divorce/separation, addiction, eating disorders, impacts of cultural genocide/colonization, anxiety, gender transitioning/identity, and depression. I strive to walk with clients to further support them in building the necessary tools to navigate challenging life events, and to experience more beauty and growth. I understand that reaching out is never easy and I aim to provide a safe, trusting, compassionate space to explore or process issues. Please Inquire for fees.

Are you tired of repeating the same limiting patterns in your life? Does anxiety, overwhelm, and/or depression feel like a constant battle for you? Maybe you feel stuck, confused, or alone. I have a warm and genuine approach to counselling, and I will meet you right where you are. I believe that the pain you are experiencing is valid. I also know that you absolutely deserve the opportunity to feel understood, and to find healing.
