Asian Therapists in Burnaby, BC
As a therapist, I believe that truly effective support doesn’t rely on fixed techniques, but arises from a deep understanding of each individual’s unique life experience — enabling interventions tailored to the person, not just the problem. I also believe our struggles are the opportunities to discover new horizons of meaning and perspectives.

Hello and welcome, My name is Nazanin Moghadami and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, activist and community organizer practising in the so-called British Columbia. My approach to counselling is shaped by my experiences as a queer, BIPOC, immigrant woman, and rooted in feminist, anti-oppression and justice oriented framework. We will explore how the patterns we learned and created as children show up in our adult lives.
My approach is collaborative and consent-based. I have training in: EMDR, Hakomi, CBT, Focusing, IFS, Narrative and more.
∞ at this time I only work with those of Global Majority ∞

If anxiety about how you're seen in the world has started running the show, or your relationship with your body feels like something you're surviving instead of living in, you're in the right place.
Much of my work lives at the intersection of body image, anxiety, and self-worth. I'm trained in dismantling weight bias and supporting people navigating appearance-based shame — the particular exhaustion of existing in a body that the world won't stop having opinions about. This work is somatic, creative, and grounded in the understanding that how you feel about yourself didn't start with you.

Do you often feel anxious without a clear cause, find it hard to slow down, feel emotionally overwhelmed or disconnected? These experiences often signal deeper emotions that are hard to access due to unresolved past experiences or trauma. Throughout life, especially in early relationships, we develop strategies to maintain connections and manage anxiety around our emotions. While adaptive, these strategies often become barriers in relationships and to living authentically. By collaboratively uncovering these protective strategies and processing underlying emotions, we can help you move toward a more connected and fulfilling life.

I support folks to reclaim, explore, and practice coming back to our bodies, feeling feelings, expanding relational possibilities, and embodying permission and more choices toward dignity, aliveness, connection, tenderness, ease, and pleasure. I approach therapeutic work from healing-centred, intersectional feminist, harm reduction, and decolonial frameworks and practices, and draw from interpersonal neurobiology, parts work, politicized somatics, and lineages of energetic medicine.

Hi there! My name is Kiana and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master's Degree in Counselling. As a young girl, I always found myself drawn to helping others. I struggled to feel confident and accepted by others at school, so I promised myself that when I grew up, I would orient my career towards supporting and comforting others. I take an Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to therapy, meaning that I see hardships in life as being inevitable. By helping you discover your core life values, you can live a life that is positive and meaningful, despite having to navigate painful experiences.

Are you caught in a frustrating loop of misunderstandings? Perhaps intense emotional reactions are creating distance, or you're navigating the complexities of a neurodiverse relationship. Alternatively, seeking individual or couples support with managing emotional dysregulation or moving through a world not built for your neurodivergent brain may have left you feeling exhausted and burnt out. When your relationship is unsteady or your nervous system is overwhelmed, it impacts everything. You might feel misunderstood, isolated, or stuck in painful cycles. Your experiences are valid, and you don't have to figure this out alone.

Life’s experiences can leave us feeling stuck or disconnected from ourselves. My role is to provide a space where you can process painful memories, explore what feels heavy, and move toward greater clarity and connection.
I use EMDR, a structured yet gentle approach that helps lighten the weight of difficult experiences and foster deep integration. I also draw on CBT, ACT, IFS, and EFT to keep therapy flexible and personalized, supporting individuals with anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, identity & belonging – including the unique challenges of Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and cross-cultural struggles.

My name is Iman - I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology (MCP) from Adler University. I was born and raised in Richmond, BC, and my path into counselling has always felt like a natural extension of who I am. As a second-generation Afghan immigrant, I’ve navigated the complexities of balancing cultural expectations, identity, resilience, and belonging. Throughout my life, I have been the person loved ones turned to during difficult times, and those experiences, along with my own personal challenges, have shaped my understanding of how vulnerable it can feel to ask for support.

How often do you catch yourself comparing your life to others? There is so much pressure to be more—more successful, more attractive, just… more everything. It’s easy to feel like you’re never good enough, stuck in self-doubt or burnout. Sound familiar?
You might be struggling with:
•Accepting where you are right now
•A cycle of self-criticism—swinging between overwhelm and exhaustion
•Focusing on what’s undone rather than your achievements
•Persistent anxiety, comparison, or a lack of joy.
You’re not alone. I help driven professionals like you—hard working, growth-minded but secretly wrestling with anxiety and imposter syndrome.

Seeking counseling can be a challenging process and it’s important to work with a therapist that is the right fit for you. I thrive in working with individuals feeling overwhelmed, wanting relief, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. While these experiences can leave us feeling stuck in a broad range of emotional states, such as shame, guilt, anxiety, numbness, or isolation, I can help with navigating the stressors that are part of your everyday lived experience. I value collaborating with clients to support them in their journey to achieve harmony, fulfillment, and happiness.
