Spanish Therapists in British Columbia

Welcome! I am a Registered Psychologist offering individual, couples and family therapy in Burnaby, Vancouver and Port Moody. I believe that therapy can be very helpful to individuals who may feel stuck and want to make changes toward improving their lives. Therapy can help people feel better, change patterns, learn new skills and develop more satisfying relationships. Whether in individual, couples or family therapy, I strive to create a relational space of deep respect, curiosity and collaboration where clients feel welcomed to explore and work on the issues that challenge them in their relationships and day-to-day lives.

My focus is to support you to build inner safety so you can embody your power and essence. I work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds, and focus on highly sensitive and sensitized individuals. The challenges I work with include emotional (terror, anger, shame), grief & loss, nervous system patterns, relationships, anxiety, depression, self-worth, and spiritual. I support clients to expand their capacity for self-regulation to come to embodied safety. From there, I support clients to process core wounds, unmet needs, and survival patterns to build their resilience and come home to their bodies, themselves, and their lives.

Accepting Clients > > > Is life feeling stuck and chaotic? Like wading through thick mud? Are things out of balance? Taking care of mental wellness is like maintaining a vehicle. In order to enjoy a life with less breakdowns requires regular tune-ups and maintenance. I work collaboratively with you, to help build a toolbox that you can use during moments of struggle, difficulty and suffering. I am skilled at helping people with ADHD, anger, emotion regulation, anxiety, trauma, inner child healing, addictive behaviours, binge eating, sex therapy, and those who are participating in alternative relationship arrangements.

Hi! My name is Darja (Dar-ee-ya) and I am passionate about working alongside people of all ages to create a therapeutic space where you can feel seen, heard, and safe enough to explore your challenges and re-discover your inherent strengths, gifts, and resilience. As an intern counsellor, I strive to adopt a shame-free, non-judgemental and curious approach to connect with you so you can begin to experience yourself with more honesty, compassion, understanding, and grace, and expand the possibilities of who you can be and what you can do.

Hello there, my name is Jocelyn, and I'm here to support kids, teens and young adults/students on their journey. My approach is all about kindness, compassion, and respect, tailored to help young individuals navigate through life's twists and turns! Whether it's change, trauma, anxiety, depression, or adjusting to new cultures and experiences.

Clients typically see me for issues ranging from depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems, to loneliness, anger, and the increasingly common 'trifecta' of addictions: tech, porn, and recreational substances. I regularly work with people from multicultural backgrounds, and those confronting crises of worldview, identity and belief. This includes clients struggling with their own cultural and religious upbringing, or changes in ideology and self-image. I also have an interest in the management of chronic pain and illness.

I am an experienced Registered Clinical Counsellor working in Vancouver’s Commercial Drive area, in nature at the beautiful Pacific Spirit Trails, and online throughout British Columbia. My clients are youth, adults, and couples who want to learn how to better manage mental health issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, anger, grief or loss, or complex trauma/PTSD; or who are experiencing challenging life transitions. I approach clients as unique individuals and incorporate a holistic and trauma-informed perspective.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person. Strength Counselling Services has licensed, experienced therapists who use evidence-based practices, prioritize client needs, and maintain ethical standards. We offer culturally sensitive, affordable services in a supportive environment. We offer a comprehensive goals assessment, regularly assess progress, and collaborate with other professionals. We provide transparency in our fees and for thirteen years now have held a positive reputation of trust, and client success. Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.

I believe that self-awareness creates the ripple effect of change. From the moment we're born, family and society shape us. We're taught to decide based on survival needs or others' beliefs, and expectations. If you seek better mental and emotional skills, sense of identity in a diverse world, and/or the ability to build up stronger relationships, I can help. Together, we'll focus at restoring your zest for life and empowerment so that you can make assertive choices aligned with your beliefs and values. Let's collaborate for your well-being!

VCAWC is a Vancouver based counselling clinic with many experience counsellors as well as a low rate student clinic. We work collaboratively with clients to explore the concerns in their lives. Although our practices are influenced by many therapeutic models, we primarily offer an approach called Narrative Therapy. Narrative Therapy is a collaborative approach to therapy that helps to centre people’s strengths, values, abilities and hopes. We believe that all people have relationships to problems. Through counselling—a journey of exploration with another person—we get to re-author that relationship and choose how we want to be.

I care about your unique lived experience. I work with teenagers, women, men - with all folks of any age experiencing life challenges. I work with acute stress, identity challenges, relational PTSD, C-PTSD, sexual assault, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and challenges with self-esteem.

Challenging events? Life changes? Overwhelmed? Stressed? Needing balance? Struggling with anxiety, relationships, depression, grief, decisions, performance? Looking forward to getting to where you want to be, to achieving your dreams, to fulfilling your potential, or to simply getting back to "normal" again after an overwhelmingly difficult loss or event? Or maybe even for the first time...Being on top of your game or moving on after challenging events or hurtful experiences is not easy. But there are ways through and I can help.

PTSD or Trauma related to stressful life changes, psychological / emotional / physical childhood abuse, neglect, rejection, abandonment, exploitation, sexual abuse, incest or witnessing family violence could result in experiencing distorted perceptions, emotions, beliefs and meanings about life. Trauma freezes the traumatic experience in the nervous system creating unhelpful thinking, negative self-assessment, and self-defeating / self-sacrificing behaviours. These conditions can affect your capacity to tolerate and adapt to life's ups and downs; to break old patterns that hold you back; to avoid engaging in risky behaviours/situations; and to avoid re-enacting your past traumas over and over.

As someone who is deeply committed to creating positive change, I am thrilled to offer a space for youth and young adults who are seeking self-discovery, emotional exploration, and meaningful healing. As a young newcomer to Canada, and as a mixed Latina, I understand the nuances of culture, identity, the delicate nature of our sense of belonging, and the challenge of life transitions. I also believe in the power of empathy and collaboration when navigating these challenges.

At some point in our lives, we may just need to get some support to get through life’s challenges. I work with adult individuals and couples who are experiencing, or have experienced anxiety, depression, stress, trauma responses, chronic pain, relationship and communication challenges, attachment wounds and injuries, life transitions, issues of ageing, or grief, loss, and bereavement. My approach is collaborative and relational. I strive to honour your lived experience, autonomy, identity, and culture as we work together, and to support you to strengthen connections with yourself, your values, and your goals.

Let’s work together to explore the challenges creating uneasiness, confusion and pain in your life. We will work in a comfortable, accepting space to create a meaningful, grounding experience to help you gain new awareness, explore choices and promote positive and rewarding change and self-care. Traditional talk therapies are not the only way to explore your story, and I often use sand play, art, storytelling, journaling, metaphor and imagery to reach a deeper understanding.
