Relationship Issues Therapists in Vancouver, BC

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor since 2006, I have been providing supportive psychotherapy to a diverse group of individuals in variety of settings: post secondary, residential addiction treatment, public health care in community and hospital, as well as private practice. I have training and interest in several therapeutic modalities such as mindfulness-based and somatic approaches, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, and emotion-focused therapies. My specialty is helping to heal the effects of traumatic events, developmental trauma, and attachment wounds. I bring competence, warmth, and lightness to the role.

I help couples get closer using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). It's a way to make bonds stronger. Imagine a story of a badger and a turtle. The badger loves excitement, while the turtle prefers things to be steady. They usually get along well. But when tough times hit, their differences stand out. The badger feels lonely and gets angry, while the turtle feels unheard and wants to hide. This makes them drift apart even more. Want to make things better? Book an appointment at kelvinchung.ca, and let's work on this together.

We are a a trauma-informed team of Clinical Counsellors, Art Therapists and other health practitioners, experienced in working with teens, youth and adults braving a range of mental health challenges. We offer Individual, Relationship, Group and Online Counselling. We hold an affirming, inclusive, non-pathologizing, culturally-safe, humility-focused and harm-reduction lens in my practice. I hold a Narrative Therapy approach and often blend it with art therapy. W have found that this way, even the people with awkward hide-and-seek relationships with their mental health make consistent progress, despite the resistance.

Relationship struggles can make us feel miserable, stuck and hopeless. It can feel like your whole world is crashing down when you are fighting with your loved one. At the same time, when things are going well in our relationships, we feel supported, loved and cared for, we feel like we can take on the world. Considering the powerful impact relationships have on our lives, we know little about how to build healthy ones. It is not a subject covered in school, and often our parents do not make the greatest role models. But like any skill, we can learn how to build strong and intimate relationships.

There are times when we just don’t feel like ourselves. For some of us, this means feeling overwhelmed by our thoughts and emotions, while for others the disconnect can come from feeling nothing at all. This internal “ickiness” can show up through our emotions, thoughts, or in our body, and is often a scary, confusing, and unsettling experience. This intuitive feeling is typically caused by misalignment; whether it’s having conflict within ourselves, feeling out of step with those close to us, or feeling out of place in the world around us.

Relationships can give us purpose and joy, but they can also be so complicated.
