Therapists in British Columbia

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.

Welcome to a warm, compassionate, and playful space where healing begins! I am a dedicated culturally sensitive and neurodivergent-affirming trauma therapist. I aim to help clients work towards integration and wholeness by targeting the root of your symptoms to get you unstuck, allowing you to move forward in life. I work to provide personalized support for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from the grip of past wounds and lingering symptoms. My goal is to create a safer and inclusive space to support you on your journey towards healing and transformation.

There is nothing more beautiful to me than the rawness of the human spirit. No matter who we are, where we are from or where we go next, we carry narratives about ourselves that impact our experiences and the way we show up in the world. Humans are social beings, which means that the condition of our relationships directly influences our quality of life & overall wellness. However, many of us were never taught the importance of nurturing a strong and healthy relationship with the self, first. Without this relationship, we may be left wondering who we are, what matters most, and how to let go of what no longer serves us.

When it comes to healing and/or pushing through challenges in life, it is normal to wish for someone to walk alongside you. My approach is guided by the understanding that we, as people, are a walking mosaic of our lived experiences as well as the experiences we did not receive. Whether your area of concern be surrounding mental health challenges, exploring the many parts of your identity that make you who you are, processing traumas, religious deconstruction, or learning new personal skills, I will join you on your journey towards clarity, understanding, and moving forward.

Jane is a Registered Clinical Counsellor, with a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Her therapeutic foundation is an attachment-based approach, which says we are created for connection—with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. These relationships are vital to our existence and can be both our greatest strengths and challenges in life. Her clinical work utilizes her training in emotion-focused individual and couple therapy (EFT/EFIT), with an incorporation of techniques from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). She offers sessions in both English and Korean.

Our team aims to help you create and discover a life worth living for and have fulfilling relationships with yourself and with others. Living from a place of fear/anger/resentment right now might be impacting how you see the world every single day. It may also affect your relationships with your family members, partners, and/or children (young and adults), friends, even coworkers, and you need help to make sense of it all. Every day, you may experience conflict, lack of connection, fear of something, or other challenges that gets in the way of you finding that sense of belonging and ownership over your life.

Are things feeling like a lot right now? It's tough out there. Whether you're struggling in your relationships, wondering what the heck a boundary is and how to create them, needing ways to cope with a really intense world, or wanting to trace a frustrating pattern and find new ways forward, you deserve support. I work with folks who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed to build resilience and choice. Using a somatic, attachment-based approach, I aim to create a space of care and acceptance for folks to name and feel feelings, map out unhelpful patterns, and practice new ways of navigating life’s challenges.

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.

While working with me, you’ll find that I take a gentle yet direct angle to help you move at your pace while giving an encouraging push to keep you on your path to healing and wholeness. I take a special focus in exploring how your past experiences impact your current life in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way. This often looks like examining how your trauma (big or small, it's all valid!) is still carried today. I aim to help you find the safety to let go of your burdens and find new ways that your system can work for you, based on the here and now instead of the past, through processing and integration of new patterns.

I work specifically with women (teens and adults). My one-on-one approach offers deep emotional support and a safe space to explore your challenges and hopes. Many of my clients are successful and vibrant externally (professionals, students, mothers) but they face some deeper internal challenges. Perhaps it is hard to understand why this issue persists despite your ability to manage so well in other areas of your life. I will support you to live the life you envisioned for yourself, free from unnecessary emotional difficulties.

Pegah believes in the unlimited potential and the power that we all share as a human being. I believe the major reason that individuals would encounter barriers and gridlocks in the process of accessing their potentials and internal resources is the primary context as well as their current one. Therefore, I provide my clients with my full presence and genuine support during their journey of self-discovery and actualization of their unique gift and potential that embedded in each of us since our birth.

Are you longing to feel more connection and harmony in your relationships? Do you sometimes feel like your emotions are too much for you? Are you often feeling sad or anxious? Many of my clients are professionals, parents, students, and creatives who appear to be functioning well on the outside, but inwardly are feeling anxious, inadequate, and disconnected. Whether you are struggling with a current situation, or wanting to process deeper emotional and interpersonal patterns, I am happy and prepared to support you.

If you are a unique and mindful leader, entrepreneur, creative or game-changer there’s finally a therapeutic approach as innovative as you. Akoya is therapy online, therapy outdoors, and therapy retreats in luxurious Tofino or laid-back Courtenay, BC. Think therapy meets wellness vacation. Wherever you live in the province, I welcome you. I’m Harmony. I specialize in therapy for people with the greatest power to impact positive world change.

Struggles are often a result of not knowing who you really are and feeling inadequate or dissatisfied. You may be dealing with anxiety and depression, or struggling with communication, relationships, or having career/academic difficulties. I create a safe and supportive space for you to share your authentic self - your thoughts, fears, dreams and ambitions. We'll work together to identify areas of personal growth and overcome the road blocks you may be facing.

Therapy is about the connection between your therapist and you. I believe that this relationship is at the foundation of healing and I pride myself on providing a nonjudgmental and safe environment for my clients.

I believe that we ALL have the power to heal ourselves. This means that this power resides in YOU too. If that’s hard to believe, I hope that you will grant yourself the opportunity to discover it. In our work together, I will help you get in touch with your inner strength and inner wisdom. You will be able to heal from past wounds, process the grief that holds you back, deal with your losses, trauma, fear, anxiety, confusion, and other negativity. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to explore your identity, build your self-esteem, and make conscious choices that will help you create the life you want.

I have been working in the field of mental health since 1990 and I am deeply committed to supporting people to heal, grow, explore who they are, and live their best life. I offer both traditional 'talk' therapies alongside expressive arts therapy and know from personal experience how well these two approaches work to help people improve their mood, thoughts, sense of self, and quality of life, as well as helping them to recover from trauma, addictions, and eating disorders.
