Depression Therapists in North Vancouver, BC

For the past 25 years as a therapist and Registered Clinical Counsellor, my work with individuals and groups has been focused predominantly on grief and loss, relationship issues, depression, anxiety and trauma. My work combines my own personal development, lessons my clients have taught me, my education and professional development trainings in Trauma Recovery, Sensorimotor Processing, Somatic techniques, CBT and Psychodynamic therapy. I have a passion for helping individuals heal difficult emotions and find a way to create a life they love and be the person they admire.

Thank you for taking the time to explore the possibility of working together. I am a Registered Psychologist with interest in supporting positive change, well-being, and mindful living. My area of specialty and interest is working with adults and teens in dealing with stress, anxiety, life transitions, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and grief. Clients have described my approach as compassionate, positive, strength-based, effective, empowering, and collaborative. I use various evidence-based and empirically validated approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Humanistic Therapy.

Welcome and thanks for reading my profile! I believe that the strength it takes to reach out, and your story, is as important as assessing what is going on for you, and determining your counselling goals. I promise that together, we can identify and help you cope with the emotions, behaviours & environment that you may be struggling with, and as a result, can experience joy again. As a result of my extensive training, and personal experiences, I have had a special interest in how change, loss or grief can have an impact on one’s sense of self, health, purpose, meaning and well-being with respect to self-care and resiliency.

I will help you to integrate successful strategies into your life that will help you to maintain these changes over the long run.

My name’s Martin and I’m a Registered Psychologist who works with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. I most often work with people experiencing depression, anxiety (e.g., panic, OCD, generalized worries), and family and relationship difficulties, but also have experience in therapy and assessment with ADHD in children and adults. I place a strong focus on the ways that we experience emotions as well as how we communicate with others, but even more importantly with ourselves. Without necessarily realizing, we are constantly talking to ourselves through our thoughts and constructing how we experience the world.

I worked at The Canadian Red Cross and managed a team of volunteers that provided emotional support to parents and caregivers dealing with critically ill children.

Are you struggling with sleepless nights, racing thoughts, loss or sadness? Are issues from the past returning causing you distress and feelings of hopelessness? Is substance use causing problems? Like so many people, you may have experienced an increase in your struggles, leading to higher levels of anxiety, depression or a re-emergence of past traumas. Anxiety, depression and trauma are stressful and affect your physical health, emotional balance, and mental clarity. Understanding your experiences, learning to manage them, and cultivating health during uncertain times is crucial!

I have experience in helping people with depression, chronic pain, anxiety (e.g., panic disorder, generalized anxiety, social anxiety), and PTSD associated with motor vehicle accidents. I also help people with difficulties coping with other stressors (e.g., work) by addressing assertive communication skills, supporting clients with problem solving and processing meaning of life events.

I have training and expertise in assessing and treating depression, extreme shyness (social anxiety), chronic worry (generalized anxiety), panic disorder, agoraphobia, health anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, specific phobias (e.g., fear of needles, flying), and body focused repetitive behaviors (e.g., skin picking).

Do you want to feel less anxious and overwhelmed? Is your inner critic constantly running you down? We all have an inner critic, and when it gets too strong, it can cause us a tremendous amount of suffering. In therapy with me, you will learn how to reduce the power of this critic, and experience greater self esteem and more confidence in all areas of your life, including: work, family, relationship and friends. I help adults of all ages and stages of life to overcome anxiety and depression, work through trauma and grief, and improve their relationships.

Welcome! My specialty is holistic individual and relationship counselling. I believe that healing is possible and is just a message or phone call away. Within our first session, I aim to offer a conversation that may bring about a sense of immediate relief with whatever is troubling you right now.

Monogamous and non-monogamous (open, polyamorous) relationships are welcome, as are parents, stepfamilies, and individuals seeking to heal, grow, and foster well-being. Now is the time to start exploring and making it better.
