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.

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.

Human beings, on the whole, are extraordinarily complex. I believe that we each carry within us depths that we do not necessarily draw on in our day-to-day movements, be it by choice, or by a certain unawareness – when what is needed to access our full capacities has not yet been discovered. When feeling stuck, it can be important to be reminded of our resilience and our capacity to change, to flow in the midst of flux.

“Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion”. Welcome to my page. My Name is Yegi Nasseri and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering counselling services to individuals, couples and families. It takes courage to reach out to someone, share personal stories and feel unsure about the counselling process. My own life experiences and previous counselling practices have enabled me to interact and assist individuals and families on issues ranging from trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety and anger management to interpersonal relationship difficulties and substance abuse.

I value the relationships that I have with my clients and aim to create a safe space where people feel that they can be themselves without fear of judgment. I look forward to hearing and connecting with my clients and their stories. I also have a passion for working with the IBPOC community, moms through pregnancy and postpartum, and youth to support and empower them.

You’re finally ready to take the courageous first step towards your healing journey. It can be really isolating to struggle alone or without adequate support. Sometimes it’s difficult to see the path forward when we are feeling low or experiencing heightened anxiety. Together through foraging a collaborative and trusting space, my goal is to assist folks finding their way back to joy, authentic expression, and themselves. My therapeutic approach draws heavily from my decade long background working in the helping profession supporting folks of diverse backgrounds with varying social and emotional needs.

We believe that therapy is for everyone. With offices located in Surrey, Vancouver, and Chilliwack, our team consists of 20+ therapists who are uniquely skilled to help you heal and thrive.

Therefore, it is so important to ensure the right fit; to make sure you feel understood and that you can trust your counsellor to be compassionate, non-judgemental, and professional.

Anxiety could make us feel like we’re living in constant fear and at times we just want to escape and run away. Depression could make us feel like we don’t want to do anything and it's so hard to find any trace of motivation. Even getting out of bed feels like an enormous challenge. Relationship issues make us feel like we have someone that we cherish, but it’s so hard to communicate with them, they just don’t seem to get what we’re saying, or they claim to understand our point yet never implement any real action. Disagreements and disappointments accumulate, and we start to question the necessity to continue.

I'm offering new clients in person sessions in Squamish, have limited availability in Vancouver, and offer online sessions if you're from anywhere in BC/ON. If you're grieving a major loss; facing big life transitions; struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or overwhelming emotions; working through relationship issues; or are seeking deeper balance, meaning and purpose in your life, don't hesitate to reach out for support. Counselling can help you find the time, space and tools to understand your deepest emotions and needs, so you can navigate the challenges you're facing and create the relationships you are longing for.

I get it. You are struggling, tired and/or overwhelmed. And you may be feeling stuck or trapped, hurt, anxious, stressed, helpless, hopeless and/or out of control. It can feel crazy-making! You’re not sure how to move forward but you know you don’t want to carry it all alone any longer. You need someone who can help…someone who is compassionate, understanding and skilled…someone who helps you feel safe, understood, heard, and accepted. It’s important for you to have support you can trust enough with your story to take on the challenges and do the healing. I want that for you, more than anything. Let's talk!

You are asking the big existential questions. Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? Perhaps you keep looking to self-help books and always taking the next seminar or online course - always looking for the answers outside yourself. You want to feel connected to yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you, yet you feel like you don't belong. You feel loss and grief and are searching for purpose but are living with depression and anxiety and questioning your self-worth.

We all tell ourselves stories about who we are and how we fit into the world. Sometimes, these ways we have of talking to ourselves can become problematic and affect our internal wellbeing, anxiety, relationships, and emotional health. I have a special interest in working with you to explore your internal narratives and identities to help you find ways to create a more positive and cohesive sense of self. I have experience working through these issues within the context of trauma including childhood, sexual, religious, and physical traumas. I also enjoy working with younger folks and identity formation.
