If you’re overwhelmed or stuck, or you’ve lost something precious, I can help. If your child is struggling with feelings, or behaviour, or learning, I can help with that, too. My strength lies in helping you identify and celebrate your own unique strengths. I'm certified by the CCPA, and for years I've worked with people of all ages and diverse backgrounds. I offer my clients empathy, respect, curiosity, and honesty.

Throughout my work I have supported many people who are struggling with: depression, anxiety, negative thoughts about oneself, addiction, dis-ordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thinking, sexuality, gender identity, sexual orientation, issues related to racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia, grief and loss, men's issues, anger and frustration. I encourage you to contact me if you are experiencing any of these struggles. Exploration with another person can help us to re-author our relationship to problems and begin to move towards our preferred ways of being in the world.

My desire to serve the community in which I grew up in, has always been important to me. I have worked at overdose prevention sites, harm reduction residential facilities, suicide crisis lines, and employment family assistance program (EFAP). It’s been a privilege to work with such a diverse range of clients. Having lived experience as a first responder, I am aware of how trauma can profoundly impact the mind and body. I utilize a blend of evidence-based practices including humanistic culturally responsive and socially just approaches (CRSJ). I specialize in addiction, relationships, trauma, anxiety and depression.

Hi, I'm Scott! I have spent the past 18 years in Vancouver as a therapist working with children, youth, families and adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I have volunteered working with young offenders in the prison system, and with suicidal individuals through the services of the Vancouver Crisis Centre. Connectedness plays an important role in both my personal and professional life. At times, finding similar thoughts and opinions has helped me feel human. Other times, seeking different ideas and people has helped open my mind to new possibilities.

Whatever has brought you here - the weariness of depression, the struggle of addiction, the heaviness of anxiety, the uncertainty of life in its entirety - I welcome you. Whether you have experienced a trauma, are going through a life transition, or just need someone to talk to, someone who will listen without judgement or scorn, my passion and goal as a clinician is to hold the space for you, walk with you through the darkness, guide you to peace and well-being, and help you to live a life you love.

I provide scientifically supported assessment and treatments to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and have 15 years experience with a wide range of concerns and psychosocial conditions including anxiety and panic attacks/reactions, attachment patterns, stress and trauma related conditions including PTSD, nervous system dysregulation, chronic pain and illness, mood problems including depression, parenting difficulties, relationship and marital problems, problematic personality patterns, self-harm behaviours, suicidal ideation, self-worth, grief and bereavement, life transitions, and adjustment issues.

Hello there! My name is Rachelle and I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (14415) with the BCACC. I have over 15 years working in the mental health and addictions field both as a counsellor and as a psychiatric nurse. I have always had a desire to connect and help others with their struggles, and have worked with a wide variety of folks over the years, including people who experience suicidal thinking, depression, anxiety, trauma (both PTSD and complex), substance use/recovery, and grief/loss. I provide a safe and supportive space so for you to explore your internal experience and move closer to your goals and living more fully.

Welcome! I work with youth and adults who are struggling with mood or emotional problems, anxiety and panic, suicidal ideation or self-harm, family or relational conflict, substance use or compulsive behaviours, and adverse or traumatic events. I have extensive experience working as a therapist for the health authority within the field of mental health and addictions, and have a strong understanding of the challenges that diverse populations experience emotionally, behaviourally, and socially.

Lavender Counselling provides counselling support for children, teens, adults and the elderly. We provide couples counselling, and work with other pairs: parent/teen or parent/adult child relationships, siblings, and business-related conflicts including crisis supports such as grief counselling for non-work related loss.

I have been a mental health counsellor/therapist for over 25 years. In my experience, two very important factors in therapy are trust and safety. I believe trust is earned by the therapist and safety is experienced by the client as therapy progresses. What I have learned from my clients is that even when they experienced hopelessness at first, change was possible, and when there was change, no matter how small, they felt hopeful. My aim is to support clients and help them identify and achieve their short and long term goals, at school, at work, in their family and private lives.

I am on maternity leave and will be returning May, 2024 and will be accepting new clients. Hi, my name is Kaitlyn and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with BCACC. Over the past 10 years, I have had the honour of working with teens, adults and seniors struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, self-harm, suicidal ideation, emotion regulation, attachment, relational difficulties and more. I believe emotional and physical safety to be critical components in fostering a trusting and therapeutic relationship throughout sessions. This ensures that the therapeutic journey is reparative rather than re-traumatizing.

Counselling offers an opportunity for insight, growth and change. It can be a source of support and hope in times of difficulty or crisis. I believe in having a client- centered and strength based approach as well. I work with families, children, individuals and couples. My specializations include: suicide prevention and assessment, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting, grief, and ADHD. As each client is different and unique, I use an approach that works best for you. In my practice, I integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, emotion focused therapy and solution focused therapy.

My experience in working in mental health services over the last 17 years - both adults and youth - has allowed me to meet clients with a variety of backgrounds and individual needs. An ideal client is one who is in need of a therapist that is a skilled listener who can help them develop and achieve their goals.
