Equitable Life of Canada Therapists in Vancouver, BC
You look like you're holding it all together on the outside, but inside, you're exhausted. Maybe you've spent years putting others first, questioning your worth, overthinking your relationships, or carrying wounds from experiences that still affect you today. You want deeper connections, healthier boundaries, and a stronger relationship with yourself, but you keep finding yourself stuck in the same patterns. You're tired of just surviving and ready to understand yourself on a deeper level.

Shelley Ugyan, RRC, is an acclaimed author, speaker and has over 25 years experience in mental and holistic health. Her evidence based tools including Cognitive Behavioural reconditioning as well as psychodynamic, relational and hypnosis approaches set you on a path to direct healing, starting immediately in the first 80 minute session.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave step. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we can feel caught, like we don't understand why we feel the way we do or behave in certain ways. Our past experiences can create patterns and habits that might be impacting us in negative ways. Our past doesn't have to define our future. We can learn to slow down and expand our capacity to heal and grow. I work from a trauma-informed, and relational approach. I strive to create a supportive and warm environment where you can safely explore your emotions, take risks, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

Welcome- I am so glad you are here! Throughout our lives, we inevitably face periods of struggle, challenge, and adversity. The pressures of anxiety, the drain from repetitive behaviours, the pain of relationship issues, or the emptiness brought on by depression can make it seem hard to craft the life we aspire to. Yet, I hold a firm belief in your innate ability to overcome these trials, whether they are longstanding or newly felt. In working together, my aim is to form a unique connection with you: one where you can truly be yourself, focusing on where you’ve been, where you are today, and where you hope to be in the future.

I work with individuals experiencing grief, relationship challenges, and the impact of past trauma. This includes people who may have a harder time expressing or making sense of what they’re going through. I offer a grounded, supportive space where we move at a pace your nervous system can support, creating more clarity, connection, and whole.

I work with youth, adults, and families who may be struggling with concerns such as emotion regulation, self-harm, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, ASD, substance use, psychosis, stress management, and much more. I acknowledge that being a human in this world can be difficult. We all face complex challenges in today’s society, and these can feel even more overwhelming during adolescence and young adulthood. I work to come alongside clients, and help support them along their own recovery journey.

If you have had some painful life experiences that are feeling difficult to process or simply need some support in managing day to day challenges, I would like to help. I work with grief, trauma, anxiety, family dynamics and relationship issues. I believe that if we allow space for our emotions and give the pain the attention it needs, we can experience some relief from that pain and find where the light can seep in. We then can build a life full of meaning and happiness.

I work with men who feel the weight of responsibility and want clarity, direction, and stronger relationships. My counselling is rooted in existential analysis and logotherapy, offering practical, meaning-centered support without jargon or judgment. My background includes years in the trades, business ownership, teaching, and extensive work in men’s therapeutic settings. I help men move through stress, disconnection, pressure, and major life transitions toward a more grounded, steady, and meaningful way of living.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Counselling Supervisor. My practice is guided by extensive experience working with people coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds as well as many years of serving the most vulnerable communities in Vancouver’s DTES. While my approach is integrative of modern theories and techniques, it heavily relies on Psychodynamic theories and practice. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a highly individualized treatment whose goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptom. It relies on the fact that our personalities are uniquely shaped by several developmental stages.

You may look like you are functioning on the outside, but inside you feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Many of my clients have already done therapy or personal growth work, yet still feel stuck in patterns of stress, shutdown, self-criticism, or emotional exhaustion. If you are wanting to go deeper into why you feel this struggle to stay on top of things and keep the harsh inner voices from taking over, let’s talk. I often support trauma survivors, therapists, healthcare professionals, and people experiencing compassion fatigue or high levels of emotional load.

You know something needs to change — but you don't know how. Maybe what you've built no longer fits, maybe you're quietly asking "is this all there is?".
Maybe the ground beneath your identity has shifted and you're doubting yourself in ways you never used to.
This is the in-between — it can feel unsettling, when the old life isn't working, but the new one isn't visible yet. This is where I come in.
Hi, I'm Jessica, a Registered Therapist and Professional Coach. I work with driven, self-aware individuals who are in a transitional period and looking for clarity.

Feeling overwhelmed and questioning yourself is a common part of life. You may find yourself struggling with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Some days, you confidently embrace the person you want to be, while others, you feel like you're barely holding it together. There are moments when you might feel lost, without hope, or uncertain about your path. Stress, anxiety, fear, anger, and even depression can weigh heavily on your relationships, work, and self-esteem. You have a deep desire for more in life, even if you're uncertain about how to reach it. It's essential to know that you're not alone in your journey.

I am a psychotherapist who combines art therapy and talk therapy with body awareness. I enjoy working with adult clients with overlapping identities and particularly welcome people living with addictions or in recovery, BIPOC, sex workers, folks exploring their sexual or gender identity, and people living with anxiety.
I am biracial, queer, able bodied, cisgendered, and a settler on this land. I am also a parent with a deep understanding of the ways our chosen and birth families shape us.

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!)
