Spirituality Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Solinga Wellness is a private practice, based in Vancouver, B.C. offering online counselling services for adults seeking support on their personal growth or healing journey. I offer a holistic approach that honours the interconnected nature of our emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual issues. Many years of working and travelling in different cultures has cultivated my ability to appreciate different perspectives and worldviews and to provide a safe open-minded space for people to explore who they are outside of mainstream norms.

There is no wrong way to show up, and taking the first step towards healing is a courageous act. Combining spirituality with therapeutic modalities, we create a space of safety and compassion while healing trauma, and making peace with the past. As a certified Counsellor & Life Coach, we pause to celebrate your progress along the way, and create a balance between diving in to heal, and cultivating a new and empowered vision for the future ahead. A journey of healing is a journey of reclaiming your power, and recognizing how incredibly sacred your personal process truly is.

I am so glad to have you here, welcome. My name is Esha Mash, I am a Registered Clinical Counselor, life coach and spiritual healer. I have wholeheartedly spent the past 15 years not only working on my own self-development but also on acquiring my expertise in the field of psychology and spirituality . Today, my practice includes a trauma informed union between the Eastern philosophies of healing and Western evidence-based therapies, providing a truly unique, customized, and effective treatment modality. My approach is holistic and inclusive, providing healing on the psychological, spiritual, physical and energetic level.

Do you feel anxious or depressed or hopeless? Have you experienced a loss? Do you experience feelings of panic? Are you struggling with a lack of direction or purpose? I work with adults experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I have a decade of healthcare experience working with individuals and families experiencing traumatic grief, and loss. I also work with individuals who are wanting to more fully integrate their spirituality into their lives.

You may be experiencing concerns related to trauma, family history, relationships, identity development, personal growth, spirituality and sexuality/sexual identity. If so, the process of finding support can be challenging, and it can difficult to know how to find a clinician with a style that best supports you and your concerns. I believe that the first step in the process is to provide a space to help us both understand your story.

You feel disconnected and unhappy. You’ve lost interest in things you once enjoyed and spend a lot of time on your phone or computer to distract you from the stress in your life. You have goals and dreams that you’d like to pursue but fear of failure and procrastination leave you feeling paralyzed. It’s hard to imagine a bright future or things changing, but you haven’t given up yet. You want to have a clear path forward so you can find enjoyment and meaning in your work, relationships, and hobbies.

Welcome on my profile. I am a Holistic Counsellor with a Masters of Science in Psychology. Using a combination of Western and Eastern Knowledge, born and raised in a Western Country with cultural diversity. I view a person as a combination of mind, body, emotions, spirituality and creative life force and not just the mind. I can help you with: Mental Health Issues, Stress Coping Strategies, Self Esteem Development, Personal Growth, Life Vision, Life Balance, Spiritual Delving and Single/Relationship/Intimacy Questions.

Do you suspect music holds a key to becoming the person you are here to be? I work with people of all walks of life with a wide variety of concerns, issues and desires. Let musicality be the torch that lights the dark places. Activate your creative-relational-self, the one that is not only healed and whole, but who knows where to go to bring all of yourself into the light and to give your unique gifts to the world. You are enough. You are Unique. There is a place in this world for you. The symphony of Life is waiting for your notes and rhythms.

Why am I here? Yes, a big question. We are souls in evolution, here to evolve our consciousness through a complex process of initiation and alchemy. Every experience, in every moment is an opportunity to wake up from our conditioned and limited perspectives. The unavoidable trials and pain we encounter in life are offered generously, intelligently designed to awaken and elevate us into freedom. The most important question to ask ourselves in this lifetime, as many enlightened masters would agree, is 'who am I'? This endless inquiry into the mystery of our true nature is foundational to personal and therapeutic work.

My goal is to build a strong relationship with you so that together we can set you on a path to feeling better. My training and experience with a range of evidence-based therapies allows me to adapt my approach to best meet your unique needs in therapy. I believe we grow stronger when we truly feel supported by others, whether we need to heal or push ourselves to grow. I want to understand how your unique life experiences have shaped you, so that together we can build on the strengths, resources, and wisdom that lies within you.

I work with individuals and couples who seek to improve their mental health and relationship. I work with individuals, who experienced trauma, struggling with anxiety, and/ or seeking meaning to life events. My unique life experience exposed me to different cultures and ways of living, which included the Middle East, Europe, and North America. I believe that relationships, mental health, and behaviors are better understood when body, mind, and context are examined simultaneously. I work with my clients to navigate through their experiences, including their spirituality , to create helpful meanings in their lives.

Sometimes life events make us feel as if we are inside a tornado or stuck in a fog. I’ve been there myself, I know how it feels. It caused me to lose touch with my true self and cross paths with anxiety & depression decades ago. Finding my way back to myself was so impactful that I left a solid career in corporate to become a Registered Counsellor. If you find yourself lost in that fog battling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, relationships or disconnected from your true self, I am here to help you clear the way so you can reclaim your true self again, mind, body & soul. :)

I provide scientifically supported assessment and treatments to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and have 15 years experience with a wide range of concerns and psychosocial conditions including anxiety and panic attacks/reactions, attachment patterns, stress and trauma related conditions including PTSD, nervous system dysregulation, chronic pain and illness, mood problems including depression, parenting difficulties, relationship and marital problems, problematic personality patterns, self-harm behaviours, suicidal ideation, self-worth, grief and bereavement, life transitions, and adjustment issues.

Struggles are often a result of not knowing who you really are and feeling inadequate or dissatisfied. You may be dealing with anxiety and depression, or struggling with communication, relationships, or having career/academic difficulties. I create a safe and supportive space for you to share your authentic self - your thoughts, fears, dreams and ambitions. We'll work together to identify areas of personal growth and overcome the road blocks you may be facing.

I work specifically with women (teens and adults). My one-on-one approach offers deep emotional support and a safe space to explore your challenges and hopes. Many of my clients are successful and vibrant externally (professionals, students, mothers) but they face some deeper internal challenges. Perhaps it is hard to understand why this issue persists despite your ability to manage so well in other areas of your life. I will support you to live the life you envisioned for yourself, free from unnecessary emotional difficulties.

I believe we heal through safe connections and relationships. Relationship to self, community, and the land. This perspective is how I approach my therapeutic practice; together we create a sacred space to explore your challenges, successes and concerns. I specialize in working with people living with mental health challenges, grief and loss, traumatic death, spirituality , life transitions, stress and burnout, substance use and those who wish to explore alternative forms of wellness. Other common issues are PTSD/Complex trauma, emotional regulation, managing HIV/AIDS and other chronic illness. I see adults and youth ages 14+.

The human experience can be exhausting and confusing at times… “Can I just get a break!?” If you are reading this, it’s likely you may have reached a point of exhaustion and the logical brain keeps telling you “but, I don’t know why/how…” yet you feel that there is more or that your soul is calling out and something is missing. ‘I’ve been there. The body holds inner stories that are trying to be told, but when the mind doesn’t know how to process them, they show up as anxiety, depression, feeling lost or stuck, and/or behaviors that directly impact our connection to ourselves, others, and the universe.

I strongly believe that each client has the capability for recovery, acceptance, and wellness. As a therapist, my role is to provide a safe and compassionate space to process thoughts, feelings and behaviours that may be preventing clients from being the best version of themselves. I am a client-led, trauma-informed practitioner and am warm, genuine, and collaborative. Some approaches I draw from are Attachment Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness practices and Self-Compassion. I also utilize an intersectional, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, anti-colonial and strengths-based approach.

Are you feeling stuck in old patterns and unable to move forward? Do your struggles seem overwhelming and neverending? My commitment is to help empower you, so that you can start creating the changes you want to see in your life. I am a Registered Psychologist serving clients in the Greater Vancouver Area. I assist clients with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, relationships, self-esteem, loneliness/social anxiety, sexuality, spirituality , separation/divorce, cross-cultural issues, life transitions, and personal growth.
