Men's Issues Therapists in Vancouver, BC
Hey, I’m Melanie! I’m a sex therapist trained in EMDR, with an identity of being bicultural (Singaporean/Canadian), demisexual, and a cisgal familiar with polyamory. I've also recently been dipping into my own neurodivergency.
I look at therapy through an existential lens—meaning we don't just put a band-aid on your immediate needs; we tackle "big questions" about life, direction, and who you are at your core. Ultimately, my philosophy is that you can't heal in hiding, so I bring my whole self to this work so you can feel safe bringing yours.

Change. Do you have the feeling that something has to change… but you’re not quite sure what it is?

I provide a warm and quiet place for you to uncover the wisdom in your life. The struggles we face are opportunities to discover new horizons of meaning, perspectives that give way to purpose. I believe in building trust and rapport in the therapeutic relationship, so that each client can claim their healing and forge their paths forward. I work with those who struggle with stress, anxiety, life transitions, lifestyle (sleep, exercise, routines) and relationship issues. I also work with couples who struggle to change negative patterns in their relationships.

You may be coming to therapy feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, low in mood, or uncertain about a relationship or life transition. Perhaps you are tired of holding everything together, unsure how to make sense of what you feel, or longing to be understood without having to explain yourself perfectly. You want relief, clarity, and a space where you can slow down and feel supported.

Life can be incredibly hard and often painful. We all need support to navigate this complicated and demanding existence. In a world with this much conflict and competition, finding a sense of peace and hope can feel impossible. Healing begins when we allow ourselves to be seen and not judged. When we share our fears and struggles in safe, caring, and genuine relationships. This is what I am offering. My goal is to help you discover what makes life feel meaningful and support you in becoming your most authentic self.

Throughout my work I have supported many people who are struggling with: depression, anxiety, negative thoughts about oneself, addiction, dis-ordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thinking, sexuality, gender identity, sexual orientation, issues related to racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia, grief and loss, men's issues, anger and frustration.
A large portion of my work is dedicated to couples and families. I work with many couples who want to move away from conflict towards their preferred ways of connecting with each other. I work with heterosexual, queer, gay/lesbian, gender diverse couple who are seeking either monogamy or polyamory.

The clients I work with are often navigating life transitions, role changes, or shifts in identity, seeking to address the anxiety, malaise, and discontent that accompany these changes. Some have prior therapy experience and aim to deepen their understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their place in culture. They ask tough questions about themselves and the world around them. Many have trauma histories from early adulthood or childhood and want to both understand and resolve its impact. Often, they are exploring how to integrate a holistic perspective into their lives, seeking groundedness and deeper meaning.

I have a passion for supporting people who've often felt not fully seen in the spaces meant to help them- neurodivergent and creative minds, men rarely given room to express emotion, and those navigating family estrangement or histories of abuse. One of my core commitments is translating psychological concepts into each client's unique context, honouring their value systems rather than a framework that wasn't built with them in mind. My work is grounded in evidence-based practice, I'm committed to learning and open to feedback. I also bring humour and warmth into the room... healing doesn't have to feel heavy the whole way through.

Hi there, my name is Maryam, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). My goal is to provide you a safe space to express how you’re feeling. I am a second-generation South-Asian settler living, working, and playing, on the sacred, stolen, and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I identify as a third-culture kid and know how difficult it can be to feel like you belong, especially while struggling with the multiple pressures of our communities or families.

You may be here with a specific goal, a desire for self-exploration, or simply a feeling that something isn't working and you're not sure why. Perhaps you're navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, loneliness or concerns related to gender, sexuality, or sexual wellbeing. If you're looking for a counsellor who understands the nuances of cultural complexity, and/or someone who offers gender-affirming care, you're in the right place. I help you find direction by asking questions, offering perspectives, and exploring unhelpful patterns with compassion and curiosity. Here, it's you and me vs the problem.

We all find ourselves in moments where life feels hard. In these moments, we are called upon to explore our soft spots. It is in these spots that we can find flexibility. I have been working with adolescents and their families for over 20 years as a Canadian Certified Counsellor and as an experienced educator in the school system. My therapeutic approach is to offer support and guidance through kindness, compassion, empathy and a dash of good humour. I offer teletherapy counselling across BC and welcome all folks. In particular, I am passionate about working with people who identify as Queer and their families.

Where once your relationship was a source of safety and support, now you feel disconnected and you can’t find your way back. Where once there was hope and light, now there’s a void, and everything feels uncertain. Where once there was joy and laughter, there’s silence and tension.
The days are passing and nothing seems to shift. You know that life doesn’t have to be this way, but somehow you are stuck here. It feels like there is so much below the surface that is difficult to address. Conversations are tense and nobody feels heard.
And yet you are not ready to give up and call it quits.

My ideal client is someone who feels out of place in a world that doesn’t always understand or appreciate them. They long to feel seen, to express their needs, and to show up as their full, authentic selves. They crave deep connection, honesty, and the freedom to be who they are without masking. Their goals are to feel grounded enough to explore the hard stuff, while also finding space to laugh, play, and enjoy a life that feels meaningful—surrounded by people who truly get them.
