Therapists in British Columbia

Entering counselling is an exciting and brave step towards overcoming life’s challenges. As both a clinician and client, I’ve noticed that as people we tend to enter counselling when we are feeling stuck, uncertain, or when we need help figuring out how to best move forward. My hope is that you feel safe and supported as we explore what life has to offer. My counselling approach balances a recognition and acceptance of how things are, with striving for change. As we look at the space between your current situation, and how you’d like your life to be, we will create a roadmap for our work together.

I’m Esther (she/her). I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Canadian Certified Counsellor based in Vancouver, BC. Prior to becoming a counsellor, I was a tax and estates lawyer at one of Canada’s leading law firms. I left the practice of law to pursue my passion of helping and being with others through life’s challenges. I am a Level I AEDP therapist and work mainly with this modality.

Hi there, I'm Nicole. I live in the stunning Sea to Sky corridor, offering online counselling services to clients throughout BC and in-person sessions at Peak Experience Counselling in Squamish, BC. Therapy holds the potential for profound self-discovery and understanding. Through introspection, individuals can cultivate greater self-compassion, understanding, and joy. Therapy is a supportive space to explore personal patterns that may hinder personal growth. Together, we work to release these patterns, while fostering supportive resources, acquiring new skills, and creating a personalized toolkit for moving forward.

While searching for a clinical counsellor, you may be at the second stage of change where you are contemplating how to manage the challenges in your life. At this contemplative stage you may be seeking support and guidance in an attempt to understand and create change in your life.

I specialize in working with adults and teenagers experiencing depression and anxiety. I also work with people experiencing trauma, spiritual crisis, relationship issues, loneliness, problems due to medication, and stress in many forms. A block of time in my practice is kept open daily for those in crisis, who cannot find adequate support through the public system. I also work with couples wishing to heal relational concerns, and those with an inclination towards spiritual practice/life. I am LGBTQ2S+ friendly and welcome people from all faith backgrounds and walks of life. Sessions are available in-person, by email, and via video.

My approach to therapy is eclectic. It is always my hope that the conversations we have will bring clarity in a way that helps you make sense of the patterns and interactions in your life that are not serving you. I am drawn to a strength-based or solution focused approach for the way it encourages you to access your own capacity and skills to become “unstuck” in your current situation. I have resonated with what is called Family or Systemic therapy because of how it addresses the problems people present within the context of their relationships.

My name is Ravi Teja and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with over 20 years of experience. I am trained to utilize EMDR, CBT, DBT, EFT, and Gottman’s couples therapy. I use somatic and mindfulness-based psychotherapy for trauma stabilization and mental health. In my sessions, I provide safety & empathy in a non-judgmental environment through therapeutic clinical conversations. I create a space for your validation and to resolve enmeshed unresolved challenges related to past experiences.

Through academics and practice, I have developed a deep understanding of the complex issues that people face and have honed my skills in providing support and guidance to those in need. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and I am committed to providing my clients with the resources, skills, and tools they need to achieve their goals. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other mental health concerns, I am here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth.

Life's intricate twists can feel overwhelming, leaving us adrift and uncertain. As your Registered Clinical Counsellor, I extend a warm embrace to guide you through these moments. Together, we'll unravel your thoughts and emotions, restoring a sense of clarity and peace. In our eco-friendly and inclusive clinic, we value the richness of diverse backgrounds. As a BIPOC therapist, I deeply respect and acknowledge our unique perspectives, ensuring that everyone feels truly seen and heard. Beyond individual therapy, I specialize in family and couples counselling, fostering understanding and meaningful connections.

If you are feeling overwhelmed with the stress of anxiety, overthinking, workplace burnout, lack of confidence, life transitions, relationship conflict, family dysfunction, etc., get in touch and we can make a care plan to match your specific needs. Talk therapy can help you untangle your thoughts and clear your mind. You can also receive feedback and talk out options and possible solutions to your problems with someone who does not have a personal stake in your choices. I am here for you so we will focus on what is important to you. You might decide to incorporate some new tools and practices to make positive changes going forward.

Do you yearn for change, desire to understand yourself better, and have an eagerness to break free from the patterns that tether you to repeating cycles? If you answered yes, but are also plagued by self-doubt, uncertainty, and worry; you're not alone. You may find yourself longing for deeper connections, grappling with the intricacies of relationship dynamics, and a complex emotional landscape that leaves you weary and questioning your direction. In all of this, you have difficulty setting boundaries, have no time for yourself, and feel disconnected from life. You may be healing from attachment wounds. This is where I come in.

Do you and your partner get stuck in repetitive arguments, where neither one of you feels heard or understood? You both end up frustrated and hurt, but you still love each other. Are you struggling to keep your marriage together after an infidelity or some other betrayal? There may be nothing obviously wrong in your marriage, but you feel lonely and disconnected. Are you troubled by traumatic memories of assault or childhood abuse? Are you still grieving long after the loss of a loved one?

Seeking help can be scary, and requires vulnerability and courage. Congratulations on taking the first steps towards healing and growth! I am a Registered Psychologist through the College of Psychologists of BC and I provide online individual counselling for adults.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy. I work with youth, adults, couples and families addressing a variety of personal issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, disordered eating, grief and loss, death and dying, parenting concerns and attachment issues, career and identity, life transitions, loneliness and isolation, communication, assertiveness, self-esteem, family conflict and relationship issues, domestic violence, trauma and abuse.

Life can be complicated no matter what your age is. Managing life transitions such as becoming a teenager or young adult, a parent, or change in any life routine can be difficult. You may be experiencing stress, anxiety, addiction, or relationship issues. Traumas and life stressors we experience can affect how we feel, think, and connect with others. I aim to help you connect with yourself and others in a way that makes you feel more content and confident in life.

Many clients may not know what effective change looks like or how to achieve it. They are stuck in old patterns and bad habits, which makes relationships difficult and restricts living their best life. I accompany my clients on their journey of growth, helping them gain new insights that allow for lasting change and authentic living. I support adults with anxiety, stress, depression, anger, grief, low self-esteem, and trauma. I also help couples with relationship issues and offers premarital preparation. I work with individuals, 19 years and older, and couples. I provide counselling in Punjabi and English.

Seeking counselling is not always an easy step, but it is definitely rewarding. My passion is to help adults who are experiencing perinatal struggles (pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, postpartum), depression, anxiety, high sensitivity (HSP), immigration-related psychological challenges, and relationship difficulties. During our sessions we will explore your hopes and goals, difficulties and strengths, and how we can build a life that is fulfilling to you. Your journey is unique, and I feel honoured to be by your side.
