Therapists in Vancouver, BC

You are asking the big existential questions. Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? Perhaps you keep looking to self-help books and always taking the next seminar or online course - always looking for the answers outside yourself. You want to feel connected to yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you, yet you feel like you don't belong. You feel loss and grief and are searching for purpose but are living with depression and anxiety and questioning your self-worth.

Are you wondering if you or a loved one might be autistic, have ADHD, or be neuro-divergent in some way? Do you need support finding an affirming way forward for yourself or your relationships? Our work together can focus on any area of importance for you, including: trauma, relationships, chronic pain, parenting, gender, experiences of oppression, grief, and life transitions. I appreciate diversity in all forms, and welcome individuals and couples exploring neuro-diversity, gender-creativity, sexual orientation, and pathological demand avoidance. I can help you find the internal spaciousness to work through life's challenges.

It's hard to live your best life when struggling with anxious and ruminating thoughts. Or feeling disconnected from your partner. Or reliving old trauma that's been following you around. Are you struggling with ADHD, PTSD, depression, or an unwanted habit? Feeling lost and stressed in your career, or overwhelmed with responsibilities? Needing support as you navigate LGBTQ+ challenges? You are looking for therapy that works, right?

For the brave souls (individuals or couples) seeking transformative therapy, life's complexities can be overwhelming. You've likely felt the exhaustion, questioning, "Can I catch a break?" I've been there too, understanding that inner stories may surface as anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck. Together, we navigate this journey. My nurturing, collaborative approach merges quantum-inspired therapy with harm-reduction plant medicine, aiming for deep self-understanding, reconnecting you with yourself, others, and the vast universe. It's time to reclaim your narrative.

Hello! I'm Alejs, pronounced 'Alex'. My areas of focus are: LGBTQIA+ issues. Trauma & C-PTSD (adverse childhood experiences, sexualized violence, religious trauma). Non-normative relationships & lifestyles. 1st gen. & immigrant Canadians. Deep thinkers who want to explore their emotions but don't know where to start. My genuine warmth, humour and curiosity play a big role in my counselling approach. It’s important to me that my clients feel well-supported when digging into difficult material. My goal is to support you in finding new ways to explore and attend to the places and parts of yourself where you feel stuck or lost.

Hi! I’m Lauren (she/her). I’m here to help you heal, grow and thrive by tapping into the inner knowing and wisdom of your body and heart, and by encouraging you to step into your power and truth. The clients who seek me out are often on journeys of self discovery or facing life transitions that open up questions and possibilities about who they are, what matters most to them, and how they want to live. I was called to this work through my personal journey of owning my unique path in life, despite it being different than the societal expectations that I grew up with.

We may not be able to control the external events or the actions of people around us; we can choose to respond in ways that strengthen and empower us, regardless of the situation we face. It is my belief and experience that by looking inwards, we can transform the impacts of our past and create a different future and perspective for ourselves.

My practice is tailored to work with individuals that have experienced and continue to experience trauma in their lives and want to have a safe place to process it and heal from it. My practice focuses on supporting individuals that are survivors of trauma, complex trauma, intergenerational trauma, and somatic responses to trauma—which can include anxiety and low mood. We will explore together how your body, your mind, and your spirit have adapted to cope with past and present traumas and challenges, and how these coping mechanisms have helped you survive. We will also learn new healthy ways to cope and create safety around you.

I bring a critical analysis & social justice-orientation. I hope for your openness to somatic/body-based invitations & practice. You love stories, storytelling, narratives and imaginative practice. You want support with substance use recovery, psychedelic-assisted therapy, navigating chronic health & surgeries, grief & loss, IPV/GBV, psychotic disorders, etc. You are keen on working with someone knowledgeable in trauma & with lived experience. Maybe you are excited about a queer practitioner :)

Christabelle’s approach strives to create space for clients to connect with their own strength and expansive potential. She believes that learning to sense our inner and outer world improves our navigation through it, and loves to see clients’ capacity expand beyond what they thought was possible.

Are you or your loved one struggling with daily stress, anxiety or depression in this difficult time? You may be experiencing loneliness from isolation, loss of a loved one, physical health challenges and/or emotional pain, or relationship issues. Allow me the privilege to help support you in your time of need. I am a compassionate therapist who is committed to developing healthy individuals, families and communities. I work collaboratively with clients to instil hope; embracing their personal stories, strengths, multicultural and diverse backgrounds. Healing the body, mind and spirit to build healthy individuals.

I guide people to return to their fierce intelligence for healing, for thriving. You can free your heart no matter what atrocity you’ve endured. Whether it’s trauma that’s racialized, class-based, familial, intergenerational, transphobic, religious, and ableist, there is medicine within you that wants to heal you. Your spirit (wholeness) is designed to reclaim your life force. Your life force is exactly the gift our world needs to come back into balance. I care about you coming into your rightful power so that you can live in belonging and grow loving connections.

Since 1996 I have been working along side families and individuals to support them through life’s struggles. With compassion and confidence we work on adjustment to injuries, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations and PTSD. I have worked individuals, children, and couples. I create a queer friendly environment.

Just as a seed will grow into a plant, and a plant will seek water and grow towards light, there is an intrinsic capacity within all living organisms to heal and to grow, and a natural inclination to move in this direction. My practice is guided by trust in the wisdom of this inner healing intelligence. I am a holistic practitioner working in the realms of transpersonal psychotherapy and birth care, with a focus on human attachment, lifespan development, and spiritual care "from womb to tomb." Birth psychology and work with holotropic states of consciousness are areas of special interest.

I believe that all problems that seem to defy solutions are directly affected – even determined - by how you experience and relate to yourself and others. Exploring the psychological meaning and emotional sense you attach to your specific internal struggles, feelings, and experiences can bring new insights and creative changes to your life. I am deeply committed to facilitating a safe, trusting relationship that can help you heal, grow, and become more fully yourself. I work with a wide range of individuals and couples, focusing on helping people create healthy and fulfilling lives in their internal and external worlds.

Change can be difficult and scary, but so important for living the life you want. I believe in working respectfully and compassionately with you, to achieve your goals. I am trained in several therapeutic approaches including: EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Brief-Solution Focused Therapy. I work with individuals struggling with mood disorders (anxiety, depression), trauma, PTSD, grief and loss. I also work on self-esteem building, family and relationship concerns, and professional development and enhancement. Contact me if you are ready to take your first step towards your best life.
