Equitable Life of Canada Therapists in Vancouver, BC
I specialize in working with young adults, helping clients overcome barriers and reach their goals through a direct, authentic approach that prioritizes collaboration and building a relationship. I work with clients navigating Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Grief, Trauma, and other challenges. As a child of Soviet immigrants, I also speak Russian fluently. While I grew up in Canada and speak Russian with an accent, it does allow me to connect with clients who feel more comfortable in the language. It also allows me to better understand some of the challenges faced by newcomers in our community.

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.

Having trouble focusing? Questioning your identity? Feeling like the odd one out — or just kind of... floating in space?
Whether you're navigating big questions, dealing with loneliness, or just need to unload some brain-noise, you're not alone (even if it sometimes feels like you accidentally missed the memo on how to "human").

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.

I’m a trauma-informed counsellor who helps people heal from complex trauma and CPTSD. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you’re not alone. In a warm, non-judgmental space, we’ll explore your inner world through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, gently getting to know the parts of you that protect and the ones that carry pain. Together, we’ll build safety, self-compassion, and regulation so you can reconnect with your authentic self and move toward a life of balance, meaning, and wholeness.

Do you feel like you’ve reached your breaking point, yet aren’t breaking through to the next level? Maybe you fluctuate between feeling scattered or paralyzed when it comes down to keeping up with everything. You might feel stuck when it comes to improving your relationships, career, or self-care. From the outside it can look like you don’t care enough, lack motivation, or are just not trying. We know that isn’t true. You are self-aware, especially about the kind of life you want, and who you’d love to be.

Hi and welcome! It is my mission to support people in a safe, non-judgmental space on their journey toward a life full of harmony, freedom and meaning. My experience has taught me that genuine presence, validation, open communication and even the smallest steps toward healing can help your growth.
My clinical psychology training allowed me to acquire CBT-based, psychodynamic, family-oriented and person-centered methods, as well as several indirect techniques (e.g. symbolic, relaxation, imaginative and more), which I have used in my practice to help individuals and couples with a wide range of mental health concerns.

Hi, I’m Sandy Kirkwood, the founder of Integrate Counselling. I’m passionate about counselling because I know that with the right therapist at the right moment in your life, it can be both helpful and life changing. I know this because, over the years, I have witnessed so many clients move through their struggles to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and what they truly want. I have gathered this particular team of therapists together because I know how they work with clients. They have been either close colleagues of mine or past supervisees. I have witnessed their warmth, wisdom and effectiveness in working with clients.

Heavy emotions, self-critical thoughts, feeling "not enough," and people-pleasing patterns can keep us stuck in the same loop until we start working with them in a different way. I work best at helping clients pinpoint what keeps the loop going, and helping preferred, chosen pathways become the new baseline. I support people who are: going though anxiety or depression, healing through trauma and harmful intergenerational patterns, reclaiming self-confidence, or re-creating their sense of identity. If you want to explore how we can work together, I invite you to reach out.

Life can feel incredibly heavy. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or wondering why you keep falling into the same painful patterns. Perhaps you've spent years being strong for everyone else while quietly carrying the impact of childhood wounds, difficult relationships, or major life transitions.
I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, identity, relationship challenges, and never quite feeling "good enough." I also enjoy supporting individuals from immigrant and multicultural backgrounds. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.
