Therapists for Children in Vancouver, BC
I moved around a lot as a child and settled in Vancouver fifteen years ago.
Hello, I’m James.
I offer companionship in inquiry. Come as you are. Whatever is real for you right now is welcome with me. I am reliable, dependable, and have no expectations for you to be other than you are.
I will encourage you to get curious about your situation, and to replace judgement with curiosity. Together, we could explore how you live, relate, and make sense of your experience. I can keep you company as we map the territory where you may have lost your way, step into the unknown, and explore what emerges next.
No blueprints, no predetermined outcomes. Let’s work together to co-create our own rules of engagement.

I have a deep curiosity about the human experience and a strong belief in the healing power of safe, trusting relationships. We all have an innate capacity to connect more to ourselves and others, and counselling can be a place to explore how to do this.
With warmth and curiosity, I support individuals 12+ with concerns related to anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, communication, religious trauma, identity exploration (including gender and sexuality), and the challenges of being a teenager. In additon to individual counselling, I also offer clinical consultation for counselling students currently in their master’s.

Feeling stressed, angry, fearful, and/or sad is what most of us go through. This is not bad because it clarifies what you desire deep down. But if you continue to feel these emotions, they become real issues that make you feel defeated, beat up, and exhausted. "Be positive" doesn't always work. But there are ways to feel better. You can learn exactly how our mind and body work which can give you back control and autonomy. My counseling goal is to support you in realizing and believing you have all the power to overcome anything. My approach is heart-centered. Thank you for the opportunity to be your support.

I have come to believe that the childhood and adolescent years in a person’s life go a long way to defining who they are and what they go on to do in their future.

I work with individuals who feel stuck despite insight - often after therapy that has helped, but not fully resolved what lies beneath. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet continue to find themselves repeating patterns in relationships, struggling with a persistent sense of disconnection, or feeling that something essential is missing. Together, we look beyond surface-level symptoms to understand the deeper emotional, cognitive, and relational patterns shaping your experience.

While I work with broad conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety), I provide more focused, evidence-based care across three areas: sexual health and relationships, trauma, and child and adolescent assessment.
I also provide structured, evidence-based treatment for trauma, including work with first responders, military members, and veterans. This includes addressing post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and mood-related difficulties, using approaches designed to reduce symptoms, process difficult experiences, and support a return to stable, effective functioning.

I support kids/teens, adults, & families with acute, chronic, & complex trauma/PTSD, plus challenges with identity, relationships, life transitions, & executive function.
Trauma isn't always one scary event. It can come from years of being misunderstood, criticized, overwhelmed, and forced to function in ways that never matched how your brain works. It can also come from carrying the pressures of migration, conflicting cultural expectations, or family sacrifice while masking parts of yourself and your life just to belong.

Are you stuck in a cycle of obsessing about food, bingeing, restricting, or feeling out of control around eating? Maybe you feel consumed by thoughts about your body or never quite feeling “good enough.” You might be trying so hard to do everything right but instead feel overwhelmed, ashamed, or exhausted. It’s draining to live in a loop where food and your body take up so much space in your mind, leaving little room for anything else. I specialize in supporting all eating disorders, disordered eating, body image distress, and the pressure to meet impossible standards, you deserve support that actually helps you move forward.
