The Co-operators Therapists in Vancouver, BC
You look like you're holding it all together on the outside, but inside, you're exhausted. Maybe you've spent years putting others first, questioning your worth, overthinking your relationships, or carrying wounds from experiences that still affect you today. You want deeper connections, healthier boundaries, and a stronger relationship with yourself, but you keep finding yourself stuck in the same patterns. You're tired of just surviving and ready to understand yourself on a deeper level.

I specialize in the art of relationship—with ourselves and with others. I work with individuals, couples, and groups who are ready to transform personal and interpersonal challenges into deep growth and healing. I welcome all people and relationships, including those that identify as LGBTQIA2S+, non-monogamous, kink, racialized, neurodivergent, creative, and/or professional.
My approach is trauma-informed, somatic (body-based), and rooted in social justice. My hope is that you feel deeply supported and empowered with the self-understanding, inner resources, and practical skills needed to thrive in life and relationships.

Overwhelmed by life's challenges? Whether it's anxiety, complex relationships, impulsive habits, or feeling lost and disconnected, you're not alone. With a background in addictions counselling, I’ve walked alongside clients to figure out what practical insights, tools, and resources to draw on to move forward. Originally from Winnipeg, my approach is based in CBT and Taoist and Buddhist philosophy. Successes in areas of personal well-being, relationships, family, behavioral health, coping, and adapting to changes inform our work together.

You are a naturally curious free spirit, yet you feel confined by societal, cultural, or familial expectations that prevent you from being your true self. It’s as if you’re stuck in a box, longing to break free but unsure how. You seek to impact the world positively by giving love, kindness, and understanding, yet you also crave to receive what you offer. Conflicting advice on how to live leaves you confused, and you're ready to break through these barriers to live in a way that is meaningful to you.

You might feel trapped in recurring patterns that are difficult to break, even with your efforts to progress. Feelings of stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or past experiences can leave you overwhelmed, frustrated, or uncertain about how to act differently. We will work together to understand the underlying causes of these patterns and create practical strategies to respond with more clarity and confidence.

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.

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.

Life can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. You’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by stress, or stuck in unhealthy patterns. You long for clarity, connection, and confidence but aren’t sure where to start. You want to feel heard, understood, and empowered to take back control of your life and create meaningful, lasting change.

You’re ready to break free from these constraints and live your fullest, most liberated life.

Regardless of age, we all experience life transitions that shift how we see ourselves and the world, prompting deep questions: “Who am I?”, “What do I want?”, “Who do I want to become?”, “What is my soul asking for?”, “What is my purpose?”. Maybe you've already started asking. Though everything seems fine, there's an unexplained emptiness. Motivation is low, and nothing truly excites you—but this isn't who you are. You are curious, motivated, and alive. You’re ready to move forward and build a life filled with satisfaction and contentment.

I love working with individuals who feel they don’t quite fit into traditional or “normative” spaces. Therapy with me is a place where you can show up exactly as you are—no filtering, no judgment. Whether you’re navigating thoughts, feelings, or experiences that feel confusing, overwhelming, or even shameful, you’ll be met with warmth, respect, and genuine acceptance.

Tired of the stuckness? Know a fuller life is waiting for you on the other side of it? I'm Carly, an RCC specializing in trauma-informed, evidence based therapy for Adult ADHD, academic/career anxiety, burnout recovery, trauma & CPTSD, self-esteem & grief. I practice relationally, from an unyielding belief in human resilience and potential.

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.

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.

I care about working with each and every client to recognize their unique strengths and struggles, and figure out together what works for them, (even if it means getting creative!)
I believe in steering away from seeing pain as pathology, and instead, being with you in the human experiences that make you who you are, and recognizing the strengths that you already possess. Fundamentally, I understand and work with how trauma impacts the body, and recognize the wisdom of the body in therapy.

Hi, I’m Justin. It might look like you're keeping it together, but inside, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that are hard to explain. Maybe your relationships feel distant. Maybe sex feels like a source of stress instead of connection. Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to do it alone. I help individuals and couples work through intimacy struggles, relationship stress, anxiety, and identity concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling like something is missing in their personal experiences or with others. My practice is sex-positive, kink-aware, BDSM-informed, and affirming.
