Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) Therapists in North Vancouver, BC

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.

My goal is to help you find happiness and fulfillment in your life through working to reduce unpleasant symptoms, build on resilience and strength, and develop new ways of coping. I aim to help you leave with tools and confidence!

Exploring personal issues in a safe and supportive way can be a rewarding journey.

I am trained in evidence based therapies like EMDR, CBT, CPT, CBTi & may incorporate journaling, mindfulness meditation and others .

Hi, I'm Scott! I have spent the past 18 years in Vancouver as a therapist working with children, youth, families and adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I have volunteered working with young offenders in the prison system, and with suicidal individuals through the services of the Vancouver Crisis Centre. Connectedness plays an important role in both my personal and professional life. At times, finding similar thoughts and opinions has helped me feel human. Other times, seeking different ideas and people has helped open my mind to new possibilities.

I am passionate about supporting individuals in their journey with various mental health challenges specializing in substance use, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, trauma and many others.
