Therapists in British Columbia

Welcome! I'm a registered social worker offering online psychotherapy across BC and Ontario. Specializing in trauma-focused therapy, I provide a supportive space for BIPOC, Queer, and Neurodiverse folks, but my door is open to all who connect with my values. My approach acknowledges the profound impacts of trauma and systemic injustice, while also valuing the richness and complexity of our experiences that exist alongside suffering. I aim to nurture a space where we address the pain of trauma and oppression, and actively reclaim the immense potential for joy, pleasure, beauty, and fulfillment in your life.

Hello, :) and Welcome :)  I am the Clinical Director of Conscious Mind Counselling & Consulting. I have a Masters degree in Clinical Counselling and I am Registered Clinical Counsellor (14287).  Are you feeling stuck, lost, conflicted about your life and the path that you are? You've come to the right place, I am here to help you gain more insight about yourself and your life and support you to a better quality of life. I have a passion for empowering clients to uncover their best selves. I believe that counselling should serve as a safe space that allows us to explore and discover our path to healing and transformation.

I work from the deep belief that you have everything you need to heal and thrive. My role is to create a context (eg. ND-affirming, gender-affirming, anti-oppressive, decolonial, anti-imperial) in which you can connect with all that you are. This may involve figuring out "internal" conflict, development of trust and skills in yourself and others, and/or turning trauma into wisdom. Please check out my website for more!

We are a team of clinicians that are trained to work with students, individuals, couples and families. That excel at helping you expand your emotional tolerance, reactions & communication skills. Too many of us suffer in silence with anxiety, low self-esteem, unprocessed trauma and anger. You are not alone and we are here to encourage you to let those experiences be felt in a safe & non-judgmental environment. We know how hard it can be for most people to do therapy & our goal is to make it engaging, insightful & rewarding. To be vulnerable means not having our deepest feelings and secrets shot down. We use an integrative approach.

I am a Master's level therapist and Registered Social Worker with 18 years of experience providing psychotherapeutic supports. I am a sensitive and compassionate person who will create a safe space for you to share your concerns and what is on your heart. I devoted most of my career to working with children and youth with serious and complex mental health issues as well as university students, adults, multicultural and First Nations communities. I take a holistic or “biopsychosociospiritual” approach in alignment with your wishes, needs, abilities and beliefs. You are far more than your amazing brain.

Welcome, my name is Daniel Kline and I am a clinical counsellor working in Vancouver, British Columbia. In my sessions with clients, I always approach things from a compassionate, ethical, and inclusive perspective. I am currently working as a sex and relationship therapist in private practice and also as an associate with Dr. Bianca Rucker. My specialty areas include consensual non-monogamy, kink, and differences of desire. I have also supported folks exploring, transitioning, and asserting authentic gender expression for themselves.

I know from my experience that stressful and traumatic experiences can stick with us, play tricks on our self-perception, and deeply affect our quality of life. My hope is to create a peaceful space where people can feel seen and supported. My door is open to all, regardless of your gender, culture, and abilities. I specialize in trauma healing, neurodivergence, human rights advocacy and parenting.

As human beings a necessary process for all of us is to learn what our emotions are and what they need. So often our old patterns, past traumas, anxiety and even the cultural expectation to "be positive" take over and suppress what needs to be expressed. Suppressed emotions can show up in all kinds of symptoms (rage, anxiety, depression, addictions, over scheduling, and more). It is my desire to create the safety needed for these emotions to be felt, and for you to know you can be ok in those feelings. When this happens, freedom comes- our nervous systems can be released from the past traumas and the old emotions locked inside.

Feeling disconnected from yourself? Struggling to break free from patterns? Constantly overwhelmed? Managing emotions feels like a challenge? Seeking support and allowing space for self-reflection can be daunting. For that, I recognize the courage it has taken for you to get here and the willingness to be open. I believe understanding your human experience is the path towards healing. Therefore, wonder, acceptance, and compassion are core values of my approach. As we become more self-reflective towards our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves, we gain the ability to create lasting change in our lives.

I provide individual counselling to adults and adolescents struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, adverse childhood experiences, grief, guilt, shame, low self-esteem, suicide ideation, relationship and attachment injuries, communication issues, sexuality and gender identity, and a desire for personal change and growth. I believe in each individual's power to heal and thrive. I'm passionate about helping clients achieve their goals through a multi-disciplinary approach providing tools and transformational therapy. I do not discriminate based on private medical decisions.

As a counsellor, I’m committed to providing a welcoming space and culturally sensitive space for the neurodivergent and LGBTQIA2S+ folks I work with. My specialization is ADHD and my approach is grounded in empathy and understanding, aiming to support each person’s unique journey. I understand that finding a therapist who respects and affirms your identity is crucial. This is why I foster an environment of acceptance where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I strive to maintain a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive space, prioritizing ongoing consent and our shared humanity to foster trust.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how to navigate current challenges in your life? I work with you to create a safe and comfortable environment based on your unique needs. We will explore your hopes and goals for the counselling process. Together we will uncover what barriers are in your way, come up with new possibilities, and help you gain a fresh perspective. My approach is holistic, grounded in the somatic, attachment- focused approaches. I believe that we are all "whole" with the innate capacity to heal ourselves with gentle, caring guidance.

Led by Clinic Director Maryam Mills who is a Registered Clinical Counsellor, holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, and is Board Certified in Neurofeedback by BCIA, the team at MasterMind Brain Optimization Centres offers cutting edge Neurofeedback Therapy along with Psychological Counselling Therapy Services drawing on certification in many modalities including: EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sensorimotor, Mindfulness, and Hypnosis Techniques.

I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with their sense of identity, most often as a result of life changes, health challenges, family/relationship issues, or managing multiple cultural identities. Together, we can navigate through challenges, make sense of past experiences and ease areas you are feeling stuck. I will support you in finding deeper meaning, developing new understandings of yourself, nurturing relationships, and discovering new ways of being that enrich your life.

In-person, Video and Walk and Talk. My passion in life is people, and my personal and professional motto is “Live true. Love deep”. I’m ever intrigued and inspired by the precious and unique journey of each unfolding person—galvanizing that movement towards wholeness and connection is my raison d’être. To this purpose, I bring a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology, 20 years of experience, and advanced studies and certification in Relationships, Recovery, Trauma, Deep Sexuality, and Transpersonal psychology. I work with individuals, couples, and groups to reclaim their full human potential and live their deepest truth.

Hi, I am Andressa Taverna. Being a trauma survivor has moulded me and impacted my life in many obvious and also many mysterious ways. Numbing out and dissociating has helped me bear the trauma, but burying it deep and pretending it didn’t exist never really worked. It was only when I started looking at it and inviting my demons to come forward, to speak up, to scream out their rage, that what I saw behind it was pain. Eventually, I saw that they were not demons after all, but my inner child.

Sometimes in life we can feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense but that we just can’t seem to change. Do you feel like you're on high alert for signs of danger, feeling anxious? Or do you feel emotionally flat, only half alive? When you feel upset, do you find yourself with your back up, ready to fight? Do you feel like running away, escaping the situation? Do you find yourself frozen and collapsing, not able to act? You know you’re capable of overcoming these patterns, but how do you get there? The fight, flight, & freeze are survival states, hardwired into our nervous system through childhood trauma or overwhelming events.
