Therapists in Vancouver, BC

"There are gifts and transformations embedded within trauma." My counselling approach is holistic and relationally based with a focus on a somatic (body) awareness to bring congruency between the mind and body. Many of our wounds occurred within our most trusted relationships causing us to have difficulties getting close to loved ones. Also, we become disconnected from ourselves when we experience trauma or disruptions in relationships. The good news is, with the right support, everyone has an inner capacity to heal and transform from their struggles.

You're struggling, stressed out, exhausted, and don't know what to do. Your friends and family mean well, but they don't get how hard this is for you or how bad you feel. Trying to be "positive" or "grateful" doesn't help you with things like kids' challenging behaviour, family conflict, relationship troubles, childhood trauma, a broken heart, loneliness, or feeling bad about yourself. It's making you irritable, anxious, and depressed. Sometimes you're not even sure how you feel, or how to make sense of what is going on.

Sexual victimization, whether from the opposite sex or from the same sex, can take a huge toll on a person's body and mind. The victim's self-esteem, future love life, sex life, marriage, work, social life, etc. will all experience a huge negative impact. It is generally difficult to tell other people about these pains. In the long run, they will turn from psychological problems into various physical diseases. Therefore, it is imperative for the victim to start psychological healing. I will help victims receive psychological counseling and psychological healing in a safe, respectful, and friendly atmosphere. Please email me to book.

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 first-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.

Some people see the word 'hypnotherapy' and are unsure as to what will be involved. Will I wave a pocket watch in front of you and make you burst into bouts of spontaneous chicken impressions? The answer is no. You will always be in control. Any protective behaviour is a 'trance state' triggered by our autonomic nervous system. We all go in and out of trance naturally - you have probably noticed times in your day when you are 'in a trance'. When we are triggered into protection for example Anxiety, this is a trance state too. As a QCH Therapist I work to help your nervous system understand that you are safe and to promote growth.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Counselling Supervisor. My practice is guided by extensive experience working with people coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds as well as many years of serving the most vulnerable communities in Vancouver’s DTES. While my approach is integrative of modern theories and techniques, it heavily relies on Psychodynamic theories and practice. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a highly individualized treatment whose goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptom. It relies on the fact that our personalities are uniquely shaped by several developmental stages.

You may be struggling with depression and anxiety, and not understanding how to shift these difficult states. I've worked for many years learning about the 'causes and cures' for depression/anxiety and will help you understand what is making you suffer, and a way out of it. Often times just a small shift in our behavior or understanding of ourselves can make a big difference. While each of us is unique, there are predictable causes for depression and anxiety: when one (or sometimes many) of our basic human needs (ie: connection, safety, freedom, meaningful contribution) is not being met - we suffer.

I am Splatsin First Nations and European and am working to help decolonize the field of counselling. Individuals who seek my counselling services want to take back their power and better understand themselves on a deeper level. I work with individuals unpacking their racial, gender and sexual identity and the effects of structures in our society. With other individuals, we process and work through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life changes, and addiction/substance abuse.
