Are you having trouble sleeping? Feeling anxious and experiencing pained body & sadness that wont go away? Trauma can lead one's body to develop a sense of hyper-vigilance. This is when one becomes continually tensed, as though the body is “braced” awaiting threats to happen. Ongoing patterns of stress & tension can manifest as chronic pain/fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, PTSD-anxiety, insomnia, sexual and/or immune system dysfunctions. The intention of Somatic Therapy is to enhance your capacity to self heal by freeing the body, breath & energy flow through the practice of self awareness and self-compassion.

You may be contemplating how to get into a better space in life in your relationships, your anxiety or perhaps with how to navigate past hurts. Having a safe and trusted space to work through these things is what helps stir the healing process in counselling. This, along with the valuable clinical tools that I bring, used within the session process, can help bring self awareness within which in turn serves as a grounding base for how to move through. I come into this space not only with my educational credentials but alswith years of public mental health advocacy, my own lived experience and the authentic knowledge of understanding.

My vision is to support Individuals, Couples and families to discover their fullest potential, to believe in their abilities, to strengthen that self-trust and confidence in their lives. With that, they will be able to - Respond and remember the truth and trust in themselves when those struggles of life show up - express it in a healthy way, not holding on to it and have it negatively affect their relationship with themselves and others around them. Learn and have the tools to cope and express. In counselling, we start to heal the beliefs that keep each and every one of us separate, and we walk towards intimacy and connection.

I am passionate about working with women and addressing issues that are standing in the way of you experiencing life from a place of joy, self-love and empowerment. As women we tend to wear many hats such as daughter, mother, spouse, caregiver, career woman. Low self-esteem, co-dependency or inability to say no, feeling responsible, poor body image, fertility issues, sexual abuse or abuse, perfectionism or emotional eating...all these challenges can create stress and overwhelm which can lead to anxiety, depression and more. Pls check out my website www.goddessrevealed.ca for more information about my work.

My name is Rejoe Mohan and I am the Co-Founder of Mind Always Matters. It can be a challenge to reach out for mental health assistance when we are feeling anxious, distressed or depressed. I really appreciate you for looking out for assistance. That itself, shows the inner strength you have. I did my first Masters in Psychology from India and there for 3 years. I then moved to Canada and did my second Masters in Counselling Psychology. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space for you, so that we could explore and heal from the past trauma and pain that might have impacted you and to live a meaningful life in the moment.

I am a Jamaican living in Vancouver. As a recent immigrant, I am aware of how the process and experience of forging a new life can bring both satisfaction and distress especially in intimate relationships. Life transitions can cause emotional stress and often, we need help to tap into our own inherent strengths. Sexuality and sexual behaviours can also be challenging for some but, I am passionate about working with individuals and couples of all genders, orientations, races and ethnicities. I also specialize in addictions which I view as a maladaptive coping skill for traumatic situations.

For many of us in the LGBTQ2S+ family, we carry shame, loneliness, and anxiety beneath our pride parades. We have lost communities that provided meaning to us, whether families or faith communities. We internalized messages that we are wrong, broken, or unloveable. Sometimes we mask these negative feelings with a big personality, and sometimes we isolate and hide ourselves from others. This leaves us vulnerable when crises occur. Reaching out for support is the first step towards feeling seen, understood, and connected to meaningful relationships.

To truly understand and identify the intricate patterns in our thoughts and behaviors, we must move beyond the confines of diagnostic labels. These labels can obscure the richness of the human experience. By embracing a high degree of curiosity, intrigue, and empathy, we can together challenge these limitations and uncover the hidden and often uncomfortable truths that lie just beneath the surface, causing us distress.
