Elders (65+) Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Peace be on you dear readers. I really congratulate you for taking the first step: looking for a counsellor. Seeking counselling is a sign of strength. It means that you want to see changes in your life. You may be dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attack, and or relationship issues or you may need to talk to someone who will not judge you. I believe everyone has ability to solve their own problems, however, sometimes overwhelming situation makes us stuck in one point and hinder us to go forward. In those days we need someone listen to us, hold our hands and to go through our difficult times. I am here for you.

Our clients generally report that they handle stress better, focus more, improve sleep and mood, in addition to feeling more relaxed. This is just some of the ways that Neurofeedback can help. Our systems use EEG Biofeedback to collect information about your brain's electrical activity, then they inform your brain about it's own performance in a way that the brain can then use to optimize. We need no diagnosis or referral to train your brain; it is easy and accessible for people of all ages. Our systems train the whole brain at once, relying on the body's innate self-regulating capacity.

Do you long to live an inspired and meaningful life? Has life lost its meaning? Are you hiding your pain and pretending to have it all together? I work with men and seniors on issues of life purpose / meaning, loss and grief and relationships. I am here to walk beside you, to help you live a life of your own design and to thrive. I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists.

Are there aspects of your life where you feel stuck or have difficulty coping? Do you wish for closer connection in relationships? Are events from the past, such as family trauma, holding you back from leading a fulfilled life? My clients are adults, single or in relationships, students, professionals, parents and seniors who grapple with issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, perfectionism, grief and parenting. Taking that first step to seek counselling can be difficult and finding a counsellor who is right for you may feel overwhelming. I commend you for starting the search.

As a bilingual counsellor fluent in both English and Chinese, I offer a unique perspective that bridges Western and Chinese cultures to help clients discover their own distinctive identities. My counselling approach is comprehensive, utilizing post-modern narrative theory to view clients as whole individuals, rather than pathologizing or labeling them. I work with clients aged 18 and up, including seniors , and specialize in parent-adult children relationship counselling, career-related issues, and couple counselling.

When a loved one is unwell, it can be hard to find answers. I provide family and individual support to families, adults, and seniors through major life transitions and events. Together, we can navigate some of the most complex family issues such as having a family member who faces mental health or addiction issues, supporting aging parents, caregiver stress, burnout, healthcare crises, and examining public and private options. I can help you navigate the system and together we can make a plan.

Hi, my name is Kaitlyn and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). Over the past 10 years, I have had the honour of working with teens, adults and seniors struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, self-harm, suicidal ideation, emotion regulation, attachment, relational difficulties and more. I believe emotional and physical safety to be critical components in fostering a trusting and therapeutic relationship throughout sessions. This ensures that the therapeutic journey is reparative rather than re-traumatizing.

Do you struggle to find time for self-care or mindfulness due to a busy schedule? Are you a caregiver or an overwhelmed parent? As a creative soul, do you feel stuck or challenged by the demands of everyday life? If you've tried counseling with little progress, consider ExAT. This form of psychotherapy uses creative modalities like painting, movement, clay work, and poetry to promote self-healing and insight. The approach is "low skill, high sensitivity," meaning no prior experience with art is necessary. ExAT helps manage anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, and dementia, while improving self-esteem and the mind-body connection.

Is there a longing inside of you? A feeling you can’t quite name? Maybe it’s a cascade of emotion and you may feel too overwhelmed to understand or know how to process it. These emotions could be a sign of grief, sadness, anxiety, depression, or unhappiness with your current life circumstances. You may feel stuck and alone. My name is Sara and I welcome you here. With gentle guiding, I support you and your needs. My approach is person-centred and I use emotion-focused therapy and the expressive arts with clients. I believe each person is the expert of their own life and my role is to support you in a safe and non-judgemental space.

Our Clinical Director offers free matching sessions to support you to choose a counsellor based on your individual concerns, preferences, schedule and more. One of the greatest predictors of a meaningful counselling experience is the fit between you and your counsellor. Let us help you find the right fit. We have a team of therapists who bring diverse life experience, education, training, and counselling methods to our practice. We offer counselling services to children (5-12), teenagers (13-19), adults, seniors (65+), families, and couples of all ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures.

Please send me an email at gracenobleza03 at gmail.com if you are 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 children (age 12+), teens, young adults, working professionals and seniors who are dealing with various mental health or relational issues.

My area of expertise is cognitive health for seniors who are experiencing age-related memory changes, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia. I am an occupational therapist who supports individuals and their families to help them cope with the challenges of memory loss. For persons with age related changes or mild cognitive impairment, we can work together to develop self-management strategies including: cognitive skills, memory and organizational skills, stress management, sleep solutions, and personalized brain health programs.

I work with individuals who are deeply committed to personal growth and motivated to engage in the challenging work that therapy entails. My clients strive to improve their relationships with themselves and others, and often struggle with issues like anxiety, depression, disordered eating, trauma, and other concerns. I have a particular passion for working with women and LGBTQ+ adults, but welcome clients of all genders throughout their lifespan.

It can be challenging to articulate our emotions and experiences - using art materials in therapy can help us express and more deeply understand ourselves. Art therapy can support those wishing to explore stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, grief and loss, trauma, life direction, chronic illness and more. I aim to support each client as they grow and heal, restore internal balance and harmony, and connect with the sparks that align them with their most authentic and whole selves. Sessions combine talk therapy with art making - art expressions can offer wisdom and insight as clients embark on their therapeutic journey.

You may be experiencing concerns related to trauma, family history, relationships, identity development, personal growth, spirituality and sexuality/sexual identity. If so, the process of finding support can be challenging, and it can difficult to know how to find a clinician with a style that best supports you and your concerns. I believe that the first step in the process is to provide a space to help us both understand your story.

I am currently on leave until October 2023. I would like to refer you to an associate, Tassia Gabbidon. Tassia has a background in competitive sports and works with youth and young adults. www.tulawellness.ca/tassia-gabbidon. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Masters degree in Sport Psychology and completing a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology, I am focused on establishing a trauma-informed practice, re-kindling the connection between body and mind, while rooting myself and our work in anti-oppressive principles.

Hello and thanks for looking here. Let’s assume you are here because something seems wrong or off in your world. Perhaps you are feeling stuck or misunderstood or you are worn out by unpleasant emotions. My work is to help you know and develop ways to be and to act so that you will feel better and flourish in your life. Scheduling an appointment will allow us to talk about how this can happen. I will work to understand you and to challenge and support you in a non-judgmental, accepting, collaborative and creative way.

My name is Jenn Bojm. I am a therapist in Vancouver BC. I work with individuals who are facing challenges related to life-transitions, family and social relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief and loss. I work collaboratively with clients on self-directed goals, attentive to individual needs. The therapeutic process welcomes the opportunity to think out loud; to explore challenges, thoughts and feelings within a safe, and non-judging environment. Counselling can provide insight into patterns which are no longer working and facilitate the process of change.
