Therapists in British Columbia

I specialize in working with clients who experience depression and anxiety and have faced traumatic experiences, including childhood trauma. My clients often experience sadness or low mood, Excessive worry and fear, panic attacks, negative changes in thinking and mood, irritability, intrusive memories, and flashbacks. I customize my approach to meet the unique needs of each client to achieve the best outcomes.

I believe true healing comes from being heard, being known, and being seen; it is my deepest desire and privilege to come alongside another in this process. My name is Angela Zhou and I am currently an intern at Wishing Wells Counselling (located in Vancouver, British Columbia), completing my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Trinity Western University. I provide counselling to individuals, couples, and families of all ages.

I believe that everybody & every body has a story. With this belief in mind, I'll work with you using a trauma-informed, integrative approach that focuses on relational, attachment-based somatic therapy as well as person-centered, narrative and emotionally focused therapy. I work with clients experiencing: Depression/anxiety, Chronic stress/burnout, Trauma, Birth and Reproductive trauma, Relationship challenges, Life transitions, and Grief/loss.

My extensive experience in programs for youth and adults enhanced my passion for helping and establishing connections with others. I have always been interested in establishing a deeper understanding of our life experiences, how they shape us as well as the development of our interpersonal relationships. This interest and curiosity stems from my own journey with interpersonal relationships, grief, and parenthood that has developed into the foundation of my appreciation for the strength and healing that we all share within our unique journeys.

Hello and welcome! I hope I can be of service to you in your healing journey. My intention as a therapist is that you feel heard and understood as you expand your self-knowledge and move towards your goals. I bring curiosity, compassion, warmth and respect to this work. I view my role as that of co-inquirer into the larger perspective of what might be going on for you. Through deep and intuitive listening, I often find connections between your current situation and what might be truly at issue. We may look at learned patterns and coping methods that are no longer serving you. Some of those patterns may have come from unaddressed tr

I believe that cultivating self-awareness and gaining insight is a crucial first step in bringing about change and facilitating healing. By engaging in self-exploration and becoming more mindful, we can develop a deeper sense of presence in our lives. My approach is empathic, warm, respectful, and flexible. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore the challenges they face without fear of being judged. In my work, I am confident that my authenticity creates a collaborative environment where clients can tap into their inner strengths and resilience as they continue their journey toward healing.

Welcoming new clients for virtual appointments only! My areas of focus revolve around the relationship with self and others (friends, partners, families), life transitions, and grief and loss. We will work together to reconnect you with yourself and make sense of the world around you. My hope is to help you find understanding, acceptance and clarity so you can get unstuck and choose a way forward. My experience includes working with people struggling with anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, self-love, complex PTSD/trauma, family conflict, and personality disorders.

When we’re alone, facing what causes us pain and discomfort can be confusing and overwhelming. I believe that therapy is the doorway to self-knowing and that the most profound healing occurs when exploration happens in the presence of a safe and supportive other. My goal as a therapist is to provide a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where together we can explore and work through the difficult feelings, thoughts, and experiences that are impacting your personal functioning, relationships, and healing.

I work with folks who are experiencing post-traumatic stress responses, anxiety, depression, the effects of abuse and early attachment wounds. Through a relational, attachment-based somatic approach to counselling, I can help clients develop a stronger sense of self, increase their capacity to tolerate emotions, learn to self-regulate the nervous system, repair relational injuries, get "unstuck", and heal from the effects of trauma in an embodied way.

I accept both British Columbia and Ontario clients for individual and couples therapy. I specialize in the following areas but not limited to: Relationship or Marriage Issues, Grief & Loss, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Prenatal/Postpartum, Self-Esteem, Emotion Regulation, Trauma, and Life Transition. I’m a dedicated Registered Social Worker (RSW) practitioner associated with the British Columbia College of Social Workers and The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.

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.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I am dedicated to offering a safe and nurturing space for individuals, aged 16 and above, to explore their experiences and rediscover inner peace, joy, love, and safety. Join me in a collaborative partnership towards healing and growth, where together, we can navigate challenges with empathy, insight, and unwavering support. I have experience in supporting individuals navigating Acute and Complex Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Life Transitions, Relationship Issues, Shame, and Male Masculinity Expectations.

My work is relational, emotion-focused, and experiential. Relational means establishing a unique and real connection with people — i.e. not being a “blank slate” therapist. Emotion-focused means helping people pay attention to old emotional patterns that may no longer be serving them. Experiential means going beyond just talking about patterns. It means offering actual in-session experiences of doing things a different way — working together to form new and preferred patterns that are conducive to one’s therapy goal(s).

My career in the realm of psychotherapy started with a few goals which are now the roots of my practice: I want clients to feel safe getting vulnerable. I want you to have freedom navigating complex & highly emotional situations, in a non- judgemental space. I want to help you find strength, humour and resiliency, even in the most uncertain of times. In the very least, we'll have a good chat and maybe you leave with a different perspective. I have developed a skillset for tackling tough issues around stress, trauma and attachment, relationships, anger, anxiety, depression and substance use.

Life can be really tough sometimes. We all face challenges that make us feel anxious, rejected, and in pain as a natural part of our lives. But you don't have to go through it alone. As a therapist, I am committed to helping you navigate life's ups and downs. I believe that by turning toward our challenges in therapy, we can heal, grow, and find a more profound sense of fulfillment and radical aliveness. In my practice, I specialize in anxiety, trauma, personal growth, and relationship issues, working with both individuals and couples.
