Anita Thandi
Counsellor, MA, RCC
Verified
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with experience working with families, couples and individuals. I have worked as a therapist and group facilitator for over twelve years dealing with such diverse issues as relationship distress, depression and anxiety, parent-
teen
conflict, self- development and life transitions. People often get stuck in patterns of repetitive behaviours or thinking that can keep them from moving forward or past painful experiences. Together in a safe, confidential and collaborative way you can explore concerns and attain a better understanding of yourself. In turn you can move towards awareness, resolution or acceptance which leads to growth and better emotional health.
Raman Gill
Counsellor, MA
Verified
Some of my areas of specialization are: eating disorders, trauma/abuse/neglect, parent/
teen
conflict, family/couples conflict, depression/anxiety, grief/bereavement,
adolescent
issues (including crime prevention), and addiction.
Many issues can effect each and every one of us at any point in our lives. Parent/
teen
conflict, abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, family issues, and self-esteem are some of the concerns we may face. Dealing with these problems in the light of life's responsibilities can become that much more challenging. Problems have a way of making us forget about our strengths, survival skills, knowledge, and abilities. In my approach, I work collaboratively with individuals/couples/families to investigate the influence of the problem(s), decrease it's effects, and open up possibilities of lasting change.

Jennifer C Leon
Counsellor, MA, RCC
Verified
I specialize in parenting,
adolescent
and young adult challenges, women's issues, third-culture kid re-entry counselling, trauma, anxiety, grief & loss, and depression.
It can be lonely struggling through mental health problems by yourself. You don't want to burden your family or your support system but you desperately need to connect with someone who understands and who doesn't judge you. I have a strength-based focus which means together we look for what you are doing well and apply similar (or new) skills to a current problem. You are wired for growth and health! It is in there but sometimes, we need a skilled therapist to help identify problem areas, help us gain awareness, and find what works for the client in any given situation.
Desiree D'Silva
Counsellor, MEd , CCC
Verified
I support children, youth and adults who feel stuck, anxious, and unable to enjoy their present lives. Our past struggles and experiences can sometimes leave a negative residue on us and prevent us from living freely. For us to heal from the experiences and struggles we face we must allow ourselves to process our thoughts and emotions so we can truly move past them.
Noble Roots : Counselling & Yoga Therapy
Counsellor, MA, RCC
Verified
People seek counselling support for many different reasons, and they are all valid. Some folks would like to deepen their knowing of themselves in order to make choices in life that are more authentic to them. Some would like to cope with stress better, or to learn how to improve relationships. Maybe there are specific mental health issues to address, or trauma to process and heal from. It may be useful to understand one's attachment style and how this may affect relating and communication with others. Attending to all of this and more is possible with counselling support.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Counselling Art Therapist. I believe that everyone should have access to holistic equity-based counselling. As such, I am passionate about creating a safe, respectful, and validating space for you to explore your mental health and lived experiences through traditional talk therapy with the option of art and the art making process. Sometimes words do not get our important thoughts and feelings quite right, and art can be a great way to explore what lies within. No art experience needed!

David Nisbet
Counsellor, MA, RCC, CCC
Verified
My passion is the journey back to the authentic self - free, embodied, and full of life. My approach is informed by mindfulness, Buddhist psychology, and contemplative practices. The human journey includes painful experiences. There can be unbearable tension between the harsh limits of life and our deep longings for freedom, connection, and wellbeing. It was my own experiences of pain, confusion, disconnection, and feeling stuck that first led me to the world of the therapeutic process. There I discovered a sense of inner connection. When the mind, body, and spirit are in harmony there is a sense of inner space, ease, and trust.

Teen Counsellors
Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol.
Most teens have a relatively egocentric perspective on life; a state of mind that usually abates with age. They often focus on themselves and believe that everyone else—from a best friend to a distant crush—is focused on them too. They may grapple with insecurities and feelings of being judged. Relationships with family members often take a backseat to peer groups, romantic interests, and appearance, which teens perceive as increasingly important during this time.
The transition can naturally lead to anxiety about physical development, evolving relationships with others, and one's place in the larger world. Mild anxiety and other challenges are typical, but serious mental health conditions also emerge during adolescence. Finding a teen therapist in Langley and addressing a disorder early on can help ensure the best possible outcome.
