Shannon Paton
Counsellor, MCP, RCC
Vancouver, BC V5T
We will take care of direct-billing to ICBC, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), Sun Life and Blue Cross.
I work with people who carry responsibility deeply such as first responders, veterans, parents, creatives, and caregivers - often the ones others depend on. Beneath the surface, there’s often grief, burnout, disconnection, or a harsh inner critic that won’t ease up. My work supports people in making space for themselves again: emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Whether you’re navigating loss, trauma, ADHD, parenting challenges, or looking into psychedelic integration, I offer a grounded approach to help you reconnect with yourself, explore the roots of what’s going on, and move toward more clarity, connection, and ease.

If you are here, something may feel harder than it should. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in the same patterns, or tired of being so hard on yourself. You may appear to have things together on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, or relationship challenges. Therapy can help you understand these patterns, develop new ways of responding, and build a stronger relationship with yourself and others. I work with individuals and couples who want to create meaningful change and feel more connected, secure, and fulfilled. A free 20-minute online consultation is available

I also offer direct billing for clients with funding from CVAP and ICBC, and offer sliding scale pricing.
My aim is to offer a warm and steady presence, and a gentle invitation to be present with and curious about your inner world. Therapy looks different for everyone, and I tailor my approach based on what style each client is looking for. Sometimes that looks like building actionable ways to work with thoughts that feel sticky and challenging, or working on skills that can help us find a sense of steadiness through overwhelming emotion. Other times, you might want to explore the roots of your experiences, understand the impact of past wounds on your present self, or find ways to break old patterns.

I work with individuals, couples, and groups navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and the complexity of living between cultures. My practice is depth-oriented, drawing on Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic therapy, Family Constellations, and somatic awareness. These approaches share a common thread: the belief that lasting change comes from understanding, not just managing. I hold a master's in counselling psychology and have trained to the second level in IFS. I was born in Mexico and have spent much of my life moving between cultures and languages. That experience shapes how I work Sessions in English and Spanish

Sessions can be covered by ICBC, CVAP, and most extended health benefits.
I am so happy you are looking for therapy! My ideal client is anyone who wants to make some changes or practice self-discovery. I am particularly attuned to the issues of people who struggle with substance use and eating disorders, but I love to work with couples and individuals with any other desire for change.

You may be feeling stuck — caught in patterns you can’t quite change, struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, or the effects of past experiences. You might be navigating relationship challenges, communication struggles, or a sense of disconnection — from yourself or someone you love. Whether you’re seeking therapy on your own or with a partner, I offer a therapeutic space for you to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to feel calmer, more confident, and present in your life and relationships.

If anxiety about how you're seen in the world has started running the show, or your relationship with your body feels like something you're surviving instead of living in, you're in the right place. Much of my work lives at the intersection of body image, anxiety, and self-worth. I'm trained in dismantling weight bias and supporting people navigating appearance-based shame — the particular exhaustion of existing in a body that the world won't stop having opinions about. This work is somatic, creative, and grounded in the understanding that how you feel about yourself didn't start with you.

Are you distressed by intense emotions, numbness, flashbacks or unwanted memories? Are you looking for a trauma therapist who is grounded in cultural sensitivity? Cultural factors can affect how you experience trauma and your subsequent traumatic stress reactions. As a holistic therapist, I bring a person's mind, body and spirit into the work that I do. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, EFT and IFS, I love to help clients heal from trauma, attachment wounds, relationship problems and other problematic issues that have led to symptoms of anxiety, depression, spiralling thoughts and physical pain and tension.

Please note that I do not work with ICBC, CVAP, or FNHA.
There are many moments throughout life that we are invited into deeper awareness. Often, these moments are catalyzed by experiences of profound suffering. You may be moving through a major life transition, processing an impactful experience, navigating relationship conflict, or experiencing loss of purpose. Many clients who seek an analytic approach are looking to move beyond conventional forms of therapy and toward profound soul work. Jungian Analysis can be a supportive container for those who wish to explore deeper ways of relating to themselves and others, and are open to the transformative power of working with dreams.
