Pacific Blue Cross Therapists in Vancouver, BC
Thank you for stopping by my page. Regardless of what brought you here, I congratulate you on making one step toward seeking wellness. Deciding to start therapy is hard; being vulnerable with a stranger takes enormous courage. I am privileged to have witnessed countless transformations that people were going through, either inside or outside my office. As an Asian-origin female therapist, I work with my clients to navigate life through their unique perspectives. Our intersectionalities can be our strength and resilience. No matter what you are struggling with, there is a way of healing, and love is the cure.

I work with primarily neurodivergent and/or queer people (of all ages, genders, identities) who want to pause, explore and reconnect. Societal expectations of how we should act and navigate the world can be exhausting. It can be hard to feel safe enough to reconnect with our inner selves, fearlessly use art materials, explore difficult topics, and live authentically. No art making experience needed. Everyone can make art.

I specialize in disordered eating, and the complex relationships we often have with our bodies, food, and exercise. If you are experiencing (peri)menopause, postpartum, or other life changes alongside new or recurring symptoms of an eating disorder, we may be an especially good fit. This might be a new job, the end or start of relationship, or something else. These things can all trigger discomfort in the body, and my goal is to help you create trust and safety as through this growth.

Life can be like a river. Sometimes we feel caught in the rapids — everything feels overwhelming and too much. Other times, we find ourselves in stagnant waters, where things feel flat and life becomes a daily slog with little hope. Therapy offers an opportunity to move into the flow — a place where life moves with greater ease, allowing you to pause, consider, and reconnect with joy and meaning.

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.

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.

Creativity can help us express so much more than words alone. Art therapy is a therapeutic process that combines art-making and talk-therapy, providing a safe and creative outlet for exploring thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to express.
If you're finding life challenging, or would like to use art as a tool for self-care, we can work together to identify self-help skills that feel authentic and empowering for you.

Youth & young adult therapy. You might be a college/university student or new graduate feeling overwhelmed by a lot pressure to "have it together". Or you're a working professional struggling with anxiety, work place pressure or feeling burnt out and lost.

Together, we develop practical tools, creative ways of expressing yourself, strategies to manage stress, navigate transitions, set boundaries, care for yourself, and reconnect with what matters most to you and your wellbeing.

I work with people experiencing difficult problems. Such problems go by many names, and may be new or old, but all share the common trait of stubbornly obstructing our happiness. You might feel depressed, anxious, stuck or directionless, unable to steer toward a more hopeful future. You might struggle with the overwhelming complexity of your life, or feel paralyzed by the choices it presents. You might lament the harshness with which you treat yourself or those you love. Whatever they do, however they operate, these problems make life needlessly hard.

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything "right" but still aren't as happy as you'd hoped?
Perhaps you're constantly worrying about what others think, struggling with self-doubt, feeling disconnected in your relationship, or carrying the weight of everyone else's needs while neglecting your own. Maybe you're successful on paper but still feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're just getting through life rather than truly enjoying it. My clients are often caring, capable, and hardworking people who have reached a point where their old ways of coping are no longer working.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor/Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I use a client-centred, integrative approach to address the therapeutic goals of clients. No one should be defined by their diagnoses, and rather than placing emphasis on what is not working, I collaborate with clients to determine what actions can be taken to improve on their circumstances. All individuals exist along their own continuum of mental health, and with adequate supports and a focus on holistic well-being, every client can be nurtured towards growth and a healthier sense of self.
