Child Therapists in Vancouver, BC
For elementary aged children, I recommend booking a 40 minute session for $105
I work with primarily neurodivergent and/or queer people (of all ages, genders, identities) who want to pause, explore and reconnect. Societal expectations of how we should act and navigate the world can be exhausting. It can be hard to feel safe enough to reconnect with our inner selves, fearlessly use art materials, explore difficult topics, and live authentically. No art making experience needed. Everyone can make art.

I greatly enjoy working with neurodivergent children and adults to help them feel seen, supported and celebrated.
Creativity can help us express so much more than words alone. Art therapy is a therapeutic process that combines art-making and talk-therapy, providing a safe and creative outlet for exploring thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to express.
If you're finding life challenging, or would like to use art as a tool for self-care, we can work together to identify self-help skills that feel authentic and empowering for you.

I come from a narrative therapy approach in my work with children, teens, families, and women.
Hi, I'm Carmella! I have been supporting the inner strength and resiliency of people, since 2012, when I first began my journey as a mental health professional. I believe we are shaped and driven by our stories and the stories others have about us. I am interested in hearing where life has taken you and what you have learned along the way. I work in collaboration with you to understand these stories but I am also curious to find out which path you are hoping to take next. The therapeutic process is client-centred and strength-based.

In the world of problems, maybe none are more worth solving than those that plague children and families.

I have also enjoyed working with adults with developmental disabilities, young mothers or mother’s to be, LGBT2SQ+ clients, children and adolescents, and clients who have experienced trauma and other mental health issues from various economic backgrounds and ethnicities.
I am committed to generating value for clients by focusing on their abilities, goals and strengths, as well as recognizing the importance of being flexible, accessible and collaborative.

If you have been feeling distant from your partner or finding that your conflicts go around in circles, I am the right therapist for you. Regardless of the specific issue, I find that one thing can often be missing—a close connection, a secure attachment, or sometimes it’s that “spark” that brought them together initially. Through communication and other skills, I support couples in rebuilding that connection. Once this foundation is established, the couples often share that they feel softer and more endearing toward each other, naturally becoming more open to exploring new ways to solve the old issues.

Do you often feel misunderstood and under-appreciated? Do you long for more connection in your relationship, but struggle to express your feelings and needs effectively? You want good things for yourself: great relationships, a healthy routine, a satisfying career path. You deserve all of this – and yet, your efforts are not getting you the results that you want. You may think that others are not cooperating with you, or that the world is unfair. And while sometimes that's true, your mood, self-esteem, and overthinking brain also may have other plans for you, making it difficult to move forward.
