Equitable Life of Canada Therapists in Vancouver, BC
As a neurodiverse counsellor living in Vancouver, I work with adults navigating self-esteem, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, or trying to make sense of your experiences and identity. I offer a non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s been coming up for you, process past experiences, and reconnect with what matters most. I value transparency, compassion, and showing up authentically, and I believe that building trust starts with aligning what I say with how I show up in the room, virtual or in-person.

Many of the people I work with carry stories of migration, loss, and starting over. As an Arab woman who moved to Canada during my younger adult years, I understand what it means to rebuild life in a new place while holding on to language, culture, and dignity. I work especially well with clients who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally burdened, and who need a space where their experiences are understood without explanation.

Are you holding it together for everyone else, while inside you feel like you are barely getting by? If past trauma, a high-conflict relationship, work stress, or a sudden life change has left you feeling disconnected, stuck, or overwhelmed, you don't have to navigate this alone. Together, we will work to quiet your self-doubt, increase your confidence, reclaim your identity, and restore trust in yourself—helping you regain control of your life.
Rather than simply "getting through the day," our work together will provide you with tools that help you feel like yourself again, and guide you toward lasting change.

Is change possible? Can you feel better? Is healing real or just hyped-up? I remember asking the same questions. Let's talk. Let's find out what's showing up in your relationships, and/or between you and what you want. It's a brave thing to look change in the face and not "know" the mental roadmap. But I can help with this part.
We can do it together. You'll drive and I'll use my training to help you discover more about why you 'always' drive to the same place, or why you have stopped driving altogether. I hold the trust that you have what it takes to find more open roads! (now let me stop with this metaphor for now!)

I work at the crossroads of culture, mental health, and social-economic integration. My counselling is for people who want to belong while staying true to themselves – especially racialized first and second-generation Canadians who may feel torn between worlds.
Our background is not a footnote in our lives; it shapes our strengths and struggles, and how and where we find home. With years of learning and teaching language, religion and culture, and lived experience across the Arab world, South and Southeast Asia, and Canada, I help clients identify tools as well as traps in their heritage and discover their authentic selves.

Hi, I’m Megan, an EMDR-certified therapist offering therapy for individuals, couples/relationships, and families in Vancouver and online. You don’t need a diagnosis or a clear label for what you’re experiencing to begin, just knowing you would like something to be different is enough. Many of the people I work with understand themselves well on an intellectual level, but still find themselves pulled into familiar emotional or relational patterns, especially in moments of stress, conflict, or overwhelm. EMDR helps process what keeps your nervous system stuck so the past stops shaping present reactions and internal experiences.

Welcome to Integrated Counselling and Somatic Therapy. If I invited you to take a moment right now and gently pause, may I ask: what is most important to you?
Knowing the answer is sometimes easy, sometimes elusive. It usually lights the way forward. I specialize in working with unresolved trauma, traumatic shame, anxiety, relationship or career issues, or just feeling unfulfilled. Growth and healing are possible, and a little can go a long way. If you'd like to learn more, please feel free to explore my website: benbasscounselling.

As a queer woman of colour you may struggle with finding a balance to live with societal norms while wanting to live authentic to your choices and values. You may often feel like you are the one that doesn't fit in with groups because you challenge the status quo of what's normal and often tell yourself you know you "should" do something but find yourself at a stand still not knowing why you can't move forward but understand why you need to change things.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years in the corporate world. Like many of you, I have experienced major life transitions, uncertainty, loss, and the challenge of rebuilding after life's unexpected turns.
These experiences led me to counselling and I started studying trauma, relationships, grief and human development. These are complex studies that takes life times to master.
My work is informed by Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Psychology, Family Systems, meditation, and breathwork. I offer counselling in English and Turkish.

Do you want to feel more connected and happier in your relationships? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by your feelings? Do you often feel sad, worried, or anxious? Many of my clients are professionals, parents, students, and creatives who appear to be functioning well on the outside, but inwardly are feeling anxious, inadequate, and disconnected. Whether you're dealing with something right now or want to understand your feelings better, I'm here to help and ready to support you.

Regardless of age, we all experience life transitions that shift how we see ourselves and the world, prompting deep questions: “Who am I?”, “What do I want?”, “Who do I want to become?”, “What is my soul asking for?”, “What is my purpose?”. Maybe you've already started asking. Though everything seems fine, there's an unexplained emptiness. Motivation is low, and nothing truly excites you—but this isn't who you are. You are curious, motivated, and alive. You’re ready to move forward and build a life filled with satisfaction and contentment.

My therapeutic approach is relational, trauma-informed, and deeply person-centred. I believe healing happens in connection, and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued. Our work together will be tailored to you, your story, your identities, and your goals, while grounded in anti-oppressive and narrative practices that honour both your lived experience and the impact of larger systems.
