iA Financial | Industrial Alliance Therapists in Vancouver, BC
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.

My approach to counselling begins with a supportive and nurturing environment. I provide options for healing, working with the strengths each client brings. I do body centered work in the sessions and also provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I provide couples therapy using the Developmental Model and Gottman Couples Therapy. I am a Certified Yoga Instructor and Yamuna Body Rolling Instructor and I incorporate this into the counselling when appropriate. I have an eclectic style and work with clients to determine what works best for them.

Hi, I'm Ramona. I’m a social worker, trauma counsellor, ADHD/academic coach, & researcher.
I support kids/teens, adults, & families with acute, chronic, & complex trauma/PTSD, plus challenges with identity, relationships, life transitions, & executive function. I have a special interest in helping people with ADHD & neurodivergence (e.g., ASD, NVLD, dyslexia), and/or complex cultural identities, migration stories, & mixed-race or Third Culture (TCK/A) heritage.
Authenticity is everything to me. As a mixed-race, ADHD, TCK, first-gen immigrant, I know what it’s like to move through systems that were never built for your complexity.

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.

Truly, one of my favourite parts of this work is the privilege of supporting other humans — the vulnerability, the messiness, the authenticity, and the deep, meaningful conversations that come with it. My practice is trauma-informed and rooted in narrative therapy, where we explore the stories of your life with compassion and curiosity, while also considering the social and cultural factors that may have influenced where you are today.

Thank you for being here. It means a lot to pause, turn inward, and listen to the quiet voice that says… maybe now is the time. I hold space for adults, parents, and youth navigating tender transitions, whether you’re adjusting to a new culture, healing after loss, exploring identity, managing stress, or reconnecting with self-worth. My experience includes working with newcomers, emerging adults, parents, caregivers, and those facing anxiety, grief, or emotional overwhelm. Whether you’re seeking clarity or simply a place to exhale, there’s room here for your story, your strengths, and the hope that something else is possible.

I offer individual and couples counselling to neurotypical and neurodistinct clients (e.g. ADHD, autism) to work on issues such as, but not limited to, guilt and shame, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma, communication skills, grief and loss, and disorganisation. Our sessions together would be about collaboratively increasing insight, clarity and encouragement, while also building a customised “menu” of practical resources to help reorient your daily life.
I offer counselling primarily in English, and can also support clients who are more comfortable expressing themselves in Malay or Indonesian.

Have you ever found it challenging to reach out to others and express more fully what"s on your mind, what weighs on your heart? Have you ever felt the need to quit stewing in all these thoughts and feelings, and get them out so that you feel you've got a handle on them, so that you can accept them for what they are and can consider what they offer you moving forward? Have you ever felt that the people around you won't give you the space you need to sort things out in your own way? If so, you may find that the acceptant, non-judgmental, caring atmosphere of counselling that I aim to provide gives you the chance to do these things.

Find space to connect to your self and navigate relationships authentically. Find the support you need to meet challenge and change with compassion and courage. Explore what it feels like to slow down, get curious, and listen deeply. Your internal body wisdom shares more than the words and stories that describe events. The patterns that emerge to protect us from attachment injury persist long after the moment of betrayal has passed. Real change is possible when ALL of you feels safe enough to be seen and supported. In the relational space we build together, you will rediscover and reconnect with what you need to carry you through.

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.

Hey, I'm Dan.
Navigating to find a therapist that's the right fit for you can be difficult, I get it. I pride myself on being down-to-earth, genuine and my true authentic self in the therapy room.
I became a therapist out of my natural compassion and empathy, my ability to provide a safe space for my clients to also be their true, genuine selves, sometimes for the very first time.
I work specifically with men, youth and young adults (18-40).
Free consultations are available by phone or video.

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 enjoy helping clients who are working towards (re)discovering their authentic selves. Often this means working with clients who have/are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, body image struggles, substance misuse, and/or ADHD. I have experience working with youth and adults of all different identities.

You are someone who handles things. You always have. But lately, handling things has started to feel like surviving them and you are tired of surviving.
The stress has become structural. The anxiety lives in your body now, not just your mind. You push through because stopping feels impossible. You push through because everything you have built depends on you continuing to function. You are not broken. You are a high-performing person carrying more than high performance was designed to hold.
I am Iffy Nwankwo, Registered Counselor (CCC) and founder of Hartwell Counselling Therapy Group-offering virtual therapy in BC.
