Therapists in Burnaby, BC
Do you struggle with anxiety or low mood, have difficulty creating new habits, experience high stress or pressure, or have problems in relationships? My approach to individual therapy combines CBT with concepts including mindfulness, attachment, meaning-making/purpose, and often an exploration of values and beliefs to address mood and create a more fulfilling life. I work with individuals (8+), couples, and families. Read more on my website where I go into detail. You want to thrive. I can help.

I am a registered clinical counselor with a Master of Counselling from Trinity Western University, Langley, British Columbia and over 12 years of experience I have developed my interest in people through my own life experience and travels. I love people and it is my desire to meet clients where they are at and walk along side them to places of emotional, spiritual and relational peace and growth. I am fascinated by neuroplasticity and the repair that happens during therapy.

Too often I hear stories of people struggling in silence, battling inner thoughts and not knowing what to do with them. Shrouded in fear and shame, they do their best to navigate their daily lives hoping things will get better, but sometimes the struggle continues. Seeing a counsellor can help ease this burden. Whether it's about relationships, careers, family or personal challenges, talking to a trusted counsellor can be the start of offloading these troubling thoughts and allowing space for clarity, growth and direction.

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.

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.

Are you like many people, struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, feeling down and not sure how to turn things around? It’s very common to feel all of these things. Life can be incredibly difficult between work, relationships, all our responsibilities and finding and living a purposeful life that feels fulfilling. Can things change for you? Can you turn it around? Absolutely you can. While the way that I work with my families and my adult clients differs in ways, the core of it is the same, I remind you that you are loved, I teach you to love yourself, help you balance self-love and love for others in healthy and empowering ways.

Counsellor-Bryan Kim. People often seek out therapy when they are facing pain and uncertainty — as well they should — but working with a therapist doesn’t need to be something that only happens in a moment of crisis or at the breaking point of a relationship. Therapy is also ideal during times of transition when you simply need some extra support and perspective. You owe it to yourself to take time for focus and reflection. Emotional intelligence and healthy coping skills have extraordinary value, and you should consider therapy to be an investment in your own personal wisdom. You are the expert on your life.
