I have been working in the field of mental health since 1990 and I am deeply committed to supporting people to heal, grow, explore who they are, and live their best life. I offer both traditional 'talk' therapies alongside expressive arts therapy and know from personal experience how well these two approaches work to help people improve their mood, thoughts, sense of self, and quality of life, as well as helping them to recover from trauma, addictions, and eating disorders.

Having practiced as a Clinical Psychologist overseas for 20 years, I am very familiar with all kinds of conditions. If you are having relationship with your spouse or others, I can help. You might be stressed out trying to parent your children, whatever age they maybe and esp for offsprings who have ADHD, Autism or learning problems, I love to help. Or you maybe depressed, anxious, wanting to work out your inner issues so that you can be a happy person, I am here to give you a hand. Or you might have a lot of pain/stress in your life, with various kinds of addictions not knowing where to do, I am here to help you find your way out.

Do you feel distressed but don't understand why? Have you tried different methods and it only helped a little but never get ahead? Have you ever wondered what the core issue is? Working with me might find you those answers. A lot of people ask who gets counselling, I believe that anyone who experiences stress could get a therapist; however, many have amazing family and friends that allow them to bounce ideas, inspire motivation, and provides insight so counselling really isn't needed. Most people wait till they are in crisis to get help which would mean a rough journey to baseline. Let's be preventative rather than reactionary.

I am a licensed counsellor with a Masters in Counselling Psychology and an Undergraduate Degree in Psychology, but at its core, I believe therapy is about healing through connection and focusing on the values that guide us through life. My background has been working with women and families facing domestic violence, homelessness, addiction, parent education, and in complex mental health programs. I currently support men recovering from addictions. I work with presenting problems related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem and self-worth, ADHD, parenting concerns, domestic violence, and the traumas that often underly most of them.

Do you feel overwhelmed by societal pressures to sit down, shut up, or stay put, questioning if life could embrace your truest form? I’m Clayre, Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Art Therapist. I'm a disabled trans femme who's deeply familiar with the challenges faced by queer, trans, nonbinary, and disabled individuals. Using an eclectic mix of evidence-based practices that align with your specific goals for therapy, my approach is suited for those feeling anxious, depressed, or downright hopeless about reclaiming their sense of self. Let's explore working together as we imagine your path toward growth, healing, and change.

Diving under the surface is one of the bravest things you can do. Sometimes you sit down to deal with a problem and have no idea where to start. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or maybe you are simply seeking guidance while you wade through something difficult. That's where I come in. I strive to create an environment where you aren't mean to yourself. I want to inspire conversations that are grounded in self-acceptance so that you can gain awareness and develop new perspectives.

My name is Elizabeth Partridge. I am a Registered Psychiatric Nurse with a Master in Nursing as well as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Practicing in the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth presenting with mental health & substance use concerns.

I believe in holistic care where we work together in both mind and body to work through and build skills to navigate challenges.

Moments of struggle are inevitable. However, when we are at a crossroads, we can begin seeing ourselves more clearly. My practice, Liminal Space Counselling, is founded on the idea that the space between two points in our lives is a chance to reflect and begin again. I also offer a group on Self Compassion.

Does something feel amiss? You might be contemplating why you're feeling off, or disconnected from who you thought you were... or who you want to be. If you are hoping to explore why it's hard to manage big feelings, navigate relationships, or generally find more ease being with yourself, together we can explore your concerns in a gentle, compassionate, and nonjudgemental space. Common concerns I work with are perfectionism, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, self-worth, and attention-related issues. I'm here to help.

Are you stressed? Stress from daily hassles, life events, acute stress, chronic stress or traumatic stress is associated with worse mental and physical health. I can help you manage your stress and regulate your emotions with an evidence-based approach, so you can heal and be empowered with confidence, resilience and purpose.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with BPD (attachment trauma), anxiety and OCD, couples, and folks who have complex difficulties and may have received multiple diagnoses. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

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.

I am an autistic and ADHD, queer, and bicultural therapist.

Accepting Virtual Clients - I work with adults and young people who are struggling with transitions, coping, relationships, grief, mental health or other concerns they'd like to talk over with someone they can feel supported by and who can help them build their toolbox for navigating their concerns. - While I see folks for a number of concerns, some areas of specialty include: Challenges related to neurodiversity and brain injury, coping with chronic illness, relationship issues and sexual/gender identity and expression.

Hello and welcome I approach my work as a counsellor and art therapist with the philosophy that every human being is the expert in their own life, and holds an innate capacity and wisdom for healing. I like to think of therapy as a journey on which I am a fellow traveller, walking alongside you with genuine compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. I will offer support and encouragement on this journey and create a space for connection, expression, and discovery. I am particularly passionate about combining psychotherapy and art therapy to work with folks who find that words alone are limiting.
