Therapists in Victoria-Fraserview, Vancouver, BC

I have over 15 years of experience providing therapy to individuals from a wide spectrum of cultural, socio-economic, ethnic, educational and other diversified (multicultural, multiracial and multiethnic) backgrounds. I work with adults and youth and their families, experiencing difficult life transitions, stress, anxiety, anger, substance use, trauma, emotional dysregulation and depression. I specialize in DBT therapy, ADHD work with kids and teenagers and eating disorders. My practice is person-centered, trauma-informed, collaborative, anti-oppressive and strength-based. I am CVAP, ICBC, EAP and FNHA-approved counsellor.

My experience includes over a decade of working in mental health and community-based settings. My approach includes evidence-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness and EMDR. I specialize in helping clients who want to heal from traumatic or distressing experiences or overcome self-limiting thoughts in order to grow and live more fully. My guiding principle is that each individual has the innate wisdom to heal from trauma and overcome personal challenges when they feel heard and understood.

Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moment of your life. Keep going.... If you are struggling with mental health, family issues, trauma, self-esteem or simply wanting to engage in the therapeutic process, I look forward to working with you.

Most people start therapy when they feel stuck. They want someone to help them through a difficult time and know an un-biased opinion can be beneficial. They want a therapist who is honest, who understands, and can provide the tools so they can help themselves. My role is to guide you towards your true potential. I do this by considering personal history, goals and help you with awareness of your internal roadblocks. I take a relational and developmental approach and I am trained in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Developmental Psychology, and Attachment Theory.

I am registered to provide virtual counselling to residents of Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia. Life can present us with various challenges that can be difficult to work through on our own. We don’t often take the time to sit with our emotions and thoughts. I will encourage you to slow down and reflect while offering a curious and compassionate perspective and a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported. We will work together to make sense of your experiences and move towards the change you are hoping for in your life.

Are you or your loved one struggling with daily stress, anxiety or depression in this difficult time? You may be experiencing loneliness from isolation, loss of a loved one, physical health challenges and/or emotional pain, or relationship issues. Allow me the privilege to help support you in your time of need. I am a compassionate therapist who is committed to developing healthy individuals, families and communities. I work collaboratively with clients to instil hope; embracing their personal stories, strengths, multicultural and diverse backgrounds. Healing the body, mind and spirit to build healthy individuals.

Seeking help is not a weakness, it is a sign of strength and courage. People routinely see doctors for physical ailments - our emotional health/wellness are just as important. To "re·solve" means: settle or find an answer or solution; to rectify; sort out; or deal with; decide firmly on a course of action; determine or make a commitment to do something; separate into components; dissolve or disintegrate; reduce or divide; analyze, dissect, categorize; disperse; subside or heal; to move from dissonance to consonance or harmony; to be changed or transformed.

Imagine what it would be like to be open & present to each moment. As a trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor & mindfulness educator with experience in a variety of modalities such as Mindfulness-based skills and Somatic Experiencing®, our work together can be from a holistic perspective to help you embody the qualities and values you wish to embody. In your sessions we will work collaboratively as you explore your inner world and interpersonal dynamics to help you connect with you!

I use a collaborative, person-centred approach. I am aware of the constraints and social inequalities people face, which act as both a cause of mental health issues and a barrier to receiving help. I work with those experiencing various concerns through a trauma-informed, social justice and anti-oppressive framework. I value healing through connection, sharing and community. Growth is a lifelong journey, and I provide a judgment-free safe space for clients to explore their inner world. Compassion, authenticity, and cultural sensitivity are my practice's underlying values.

Does the pressure to live up to 'good vibes only' leave you wondering if there's something wrong with you? We live in a world where disconnection abounds and vulnerability is shamed. Life hands us pain and expects us to put on a smiling face. Therapy with me is an attempt to provide an alternative: a space of understanding, safety and non-judgement. I believe that humans make change while in relationships that support empowerment, therefore I place high value on our working relationship. Working with me will allow you to have a space where you're nurtured, challenged, and seen.

I specialize in helping youth (14+) and adults address unresolved inner or outer conflict that may be manifesting in emotional pain or impacting wellness. I have helped clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, substance use, and trauma. As well as with self-esteem, boundaries and achieving more healthy communication. I have also helped individuals walk through complex concurrent struggles with substance use and mental or emotional challenges.

I specialize in psychological assessment and treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). If you are experiencing intrusive thoughts about contamination, accidents or violence, sex, identity, religion, relationships, ‘just right’ feelings, or other themes, along with excessive checking, reviewing, avoiding, reassurance-seeking, or other behaviours, I'm here to help. I also provide treatment for a range of anxiety concerns, including perfectionism, health anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and social anxiety. My approach is grounded in CBT, ACT, and compassion-focused therapy.

All humans have the capacity for wellness, healing, and growth, despite the adversities we face. As a former national team athlete and current RCC, I have a unique understanding of the psychological pressures that coincide with sport-participation and managing difficult emotions. I also enjoy working with a diverse range of clients (14+) and couples to address a variety of concerns. These areas may include, but are not limited to, challenges with performance and social anxiety, depression, trauma/abuse, relational conflict, grief/loss, and disordered eating/RED-S.

Life's challenges can often feel overwhelming, leaving us seeking answers and solutions. I believe in tailoring therapy to each individual's unique needs, fostering a collaborative and empathetic environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. My therapeutic toolbox includes evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Jungian approach, and existential therapy. By integrating these approaches, we can work together to identify patterns, untangle complexities, and nurture lasting positive change.

Are you looking for a safe, confidential and non-judgmental setting to find direction and hope for yourself or your family? Within my professional practice, my client feels heard, understood and empowered to find healing and balance in their lives. Clients can find a space to relax the 'busy mind' without feeling guilty. I work with Individuals, Couples and Family dealing with various mental health or relational issues.

I specialize in helping people who are struggling with anxiety, life transitions, parenting, relationships, loss and more. Many people that come for help are those who feel stuck overcoming obstacles and have tried to change their situation without success. I help people turn these obstacles into opportunities for understanding and growth.

My name is Jane Mai Ngo (she/her) and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS). I work with people seeking a stronger sense of purpose, increased self-esteem, self-acceptance, and clarity in their lives. I create a healing space for individuals to recover from the relentless effects of intergenerational and childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, and social conditioning that leaves people feeling disconnected from their authentic selves. I will act as a companion on your healing journey, using a strength-based, person-centered, attachment-focused, and culture and trauma-informed lens.

I'm very passionate about the therapeutic process and how transformative it can be. I believe that by sharing a safe space where we are able to be seen, heard, and understood, beautiful things can happen and a healthy space inside of us open, allowing traumas and emotions to move through us.

I offer my clients support and guidance to access and trust their inner wisdom, so that they can gain clarity on their struggles and refine their sense of purpose and direction. I also provide clients with the necessary tools to help them achieve their goals. As human beings we have a common desire to better connect with ourselves and others, and become more present and engaged with our lives. I believe that good counselling can help clients achieve insight, connection, and freedom from their personal struggles. I help clients work through struggles such as grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and family conflict.
