Therapists in Vancouver, BC

I'm a registered clinical counsellor with over 20 years of experience in the helping profession. I'm passionate about supporting clients to heal the relationship they have with themselves and others. If you are seeking meaningful change in your life, and long to feel more at home and fulfilled in yourself and your relationships I want to help. Whether you’re recovering from heartbreak, struggling to assert yourself in your most important relationships, having difficulty making decisions, or are overwhelmed by anxious thoughts and feelings, we'll work together towards your healing and growth.

I specialize in sexual struggles and work with adults and adolescents on topics ranging from sex, sex work, sexuality, sexual dysfunctions, sex/porn "addiction", queer-identity, polyamory, life transitions, childhood trauma, medical trauma, panic/anxiety. I also work with couples and families drawing from Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Which features attachment based interventions grounded within finding empathy, compassion, and care for both yourself and your partner while creating new patterns of interacting.

Welcome to a warm, compassionate, and playful space where healing begins! I am a dedicated culturally sensitive and trauma-informed therapist. I aim to help clients work towards integration and wholeness by targeting the root of your symptoms to get you unstuck, allowing you to move forward in life. I work to provide personalized support for individuals seeking to heal from their past wounds and lingering symptoms. My goal is to create a safer and inclusive space to support you on your journey towards healing and transformation.

When we’re alone, facing what causes us pain and discomfort can be confusing and overwhelming. I believe that therapy is the doorway to self-knowing and that the most profound healing occurs when exploration happens in the presence of a safe and supportive other. My goal as a therapist is to provide a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where together we can explore and work through the difficult feelings, thoughts, and experiences that are impacting your personal functioning, relationships, and healing.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), I offer online counselling to individuals and couples facing issues such as anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. I help people understand how past experiences may have shaped their patterns and beliefs, and support learning new ways of relating to self and others that may increase connection, intimacy, and authenticity. I help clients learn things such as effective communication skills, how to set boundaries, how to manage stress and anxiety, and how to regulate their nervous systems so that they can navigate their daily lives with more ease and joy.

It is my belief that as humans we are biologically wired to heal; each of us already holds the internal resources needed to grow and thrive. As a counsellor, I would be honoured to walk alongside you as a guide in uncovering these resources, offering warmth and a grounding presence alongside evidence-based interventions to assist you on this journey. I offer an integrated approach to counselling, utilizing attachment-based, emotion-focused, and body-based practices alongside internal parts work in my practice. I believe it is important to create space for the body, mind, and spirit to be present in our work together.

If you've been doing it on our own, and feel like your current tool kit just isn't working, I invite you to connect with me to help you add to your set or even sharpen what you've already got. If you are having difficulty with boundaries and communication, struggling with the stresses of daily life, or simply seeking personal growth, I can help. Whatever your reason is for seeking therapy, know that you're not alone. We will work together to get you where you want to be.

Perhaps you’re here because you’ve reached your tipping point in life, or find yourself reacting in big ways to seemingly small things and feeling out of control with what life has thrown your way. Maybe you’d like to see a shift in how you view yourself and those around you. Whatever struggles you are facing right now, please know that your journey doesn't have to be taken alone. Change is possible when you feel seen, heard, and cared for. Together we can uncover unhelpful patterns, process difficult emotions, and become more deeply connected to ourselves and others.

I work with adults and adolescents with a wide range of emotional and interpersonal challenges, including but not limited to, trauma, depression, anxiety, learning difficulties, ADHD, relational conflict, existential questions, life transitions, academic challenges, and school avoidance. My passion is career and future planning and I have experience working with both adults and youth in this area. My aim is to help individuals to identify their strengths, to cope with challenges and to ultimately meet their goals while developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships with others.

I am passionate about self-discovery, embodiment, creativity, and conscious living. My goal is to support my clients on their journey back to their truest, most embodied selves. I offer different modalities to explore and help bring awareness to our deepest wants and needs, and to open space for expansion and genuine self-expression. I believe that a truthful, embodied life involves body, mind, and spirit, so I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where every aspect of our complex inner lives can come to light and be witnessed with compassionate curiosity.

I am an autistic and ADHD, queer, and bicultural therapist. My practice is focused on anti-oppressive and trauma-informed care for marginalized individuals including QPOC, neurodivergent communities, immigrants, and poly/ENM communities. My values best align with person-centred and humanistic approaches that build upon your strengths and inherent traits. As a certified yoga and movement teacher, I can also offer tools to help deepen your mind-body connection. I like to see myself as a supportive co-collaborator alongside your healing journey.

Feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed? Worried about your work or relationships? Struggling with uncertainty? Finding yourself avoiding or procrastinating on things that are important to you? Life is incredibly difficult at times, and we often feel alone in our suffering. You don't have to get through it on your own. In counselling, when we feel safe and understood, we can connect to our natural ability to heal and thrive. I work with my clients to help them to deeply explore and make sense of their struggles, uncover their inner wisdom and resilience, and become their best, most authentic selves.

Hi there! My name is Hannah and my offering is an experienced, kind and open space to explore difficulties you might be having as a couple, or individually (see specialties below). Many couples find themselves in the same patterns of distress again and again, feeling as though they can't find a way forward through the disconnection or discord. My Emotionally Focused Therapy sessions will help you to understand where the issues lie by breaking down these patterns, and help you to reestablish trust and and emotional safety in the relationship. This work aims to foster healthier communication, closer bonds and loving connection.

Are you new to therapy, or frustrated with not making progress? I specialize in taking clients deeper than they have gone before to really heal and gain insight into why you stay stuck. Symptoms are of the same variety for all people, anxiety, depression, self criticism, relationship conflict, difficulty with mood or emotional regulation, obsession etc. However, underlying your symptoms are habits and patterns of thinking and the way you use defences to avoid experiencing pain and fear. I will help you navigate the labyrinth of how and why you think and behave in the ways you do to open up new pathways for living more fully.

Maybe you are struggling with anxiety and depression, working on building self-confidence, looking to heal past trauma, facing challenges in your relationships, or just needing a space to talk. I welcome individuals who are seeking therapy for many reasons, and together we will decide what you need to feel supported. Therapy is a place to talk freely without judgment, to be heard and validated, and to feel less alone. It can also be a space to gain tools to help understand your emotions and feel more resourced in times of stress. Therapy can also be a space to heal deep wounds and to process the impacts of past painful experiences.

Hi! I'm Jaclyn. As a person of deep feeling and empathy, I love to help people heal, grow and discover more fullness and meaning in themselves and their relationships. I consider it my greatest privilege to walk alongside my clients through their fears, challenges, and heartaches, and to help them discover healing and strength from within.

I work with women who are ready to commit to a deep & conscious spiritual process of healing & transformation. Whether wanting to recover from trauma, feeling lost inside, depressed, anxious, empty, I am committed to supporting your journey. Convinced that no healing happens if body is not involved, my approach weaves somatic therapy, EMDR & cyclical awareness from a humanistic & client centred stance and keeps developing as I keep deepening my research in the areas of trauma, attachment theory, ancestral legacies of trauma & energy healing.

We all struggle at times. Whether it is a low mood that lingers too long, or anxiety that inhibits your life. Feeling like a failure, a bad parent, or like you just do not feel at home in your skin can start to feel like it poisons everything. Confidence dwindles, emotions feel too unpredictable, or stress seems to get under your skin more than it used to. You may be finding that your close relationships are more stressful than they used to be. Life may feel like it’s getting smaller and smaller. You know something has to change. It is time to reach out for help.

Therapy is about the connection between your therapist and you. I believe that this relationship is at the foundation of healing and I pride myself on providing a nonjudgmental and safe environment for my clients.
