Female Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Developing a new relationship with your inner world can feel overwhelming and almost impossible at times. It is important to find a therapist that can help you explore your concerns with care, attention and support. My approach to psychotherapy is based on many years of training in both psychology and education. My passion for psychology led me to private practice after 20 years in the education sector. My role as a Principal of French Immersion Schools helps me establish strong therapeutic alliances with clients based on diverse interpersonal skills and a passion for the human condition.

Practicing courage, connection, and well-being within ourselves and in relationships is a process through all phases of life. It can be difficult to get "unstuck". Together, we'll explore answers to the questions: How does my past pain contribute to current suffering? What can I do about it now?

Navigating health and wellness in the current climate can feel like a minefield. If you're a woman under 40 feeling like you need a little more wellness in your life, but aren't sure what that looks like for you or need some help to make it happen, you're in the right place. I'm passionate about partnering with millennial women to figure out what wellness means to them, and then get there.

We can't say goodbye to a problem until we say hello to it. If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, depressed, alone or hopeless, therapy is a place where it's OK to talk about the hard & confusing things, where you get to tell your truth as you see & feel it. If you experience shame, guilt, disappointment, regret, anger or resentment in your life, counselling gives you an opportunity to understand yourself better without being rushed or judged. Listening to all the parts of you that want to be heard can lead to a sense of relief, better relationships & sleep, feeling more grounded & living a more meaningful & authentic life

In our sessions, I strive to provide a non-judgmental and open space where you can express yourself and explore your inner world so that we can create change together. While it is true that counselling can be challenging, I also believe it can and should include humour, hope, and be a comfortable place for you to learn and grow. If you are in a place where you are ready to make a change, I will support you to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, parenting, relationship challenges, grief & loss, trauma, psychedelic integration, & career.

I am drawn towards working with clients who are navigating major life changes, as these "turning points" can be both incredibly difficult yet rewarding. Changes in employment, relationship status, or the loss of a loved one can lead to feelings of grief, loss and tremendous anxiety about the future. It can be hard to feel confident moving forward when we feel something, or someone, is missing. Even when we are embracing a wanted change it can sometimes feel daunting and overwhelming to embark on something new.

I believe that all youth have the right to express their "true selves" and will help convey this to their families. Whatever their gender or sexual orientation.I also have great compassion for youth who are struggling with their body image or their food. I am happy to help them find balance and a way to move forward in their time of difficulty. I have 20 years experience in this field and good success with weight and health restoration.

I am excited to work with people to find meaning in the messiness. I value collaboration, compassion, curiosity and openness — and I support connection, community and expression. I bring non-judgement and a deep thoughtfulness to the more unpleasant parts of human experience, and I encourage coming into relationship with these aspects, and exploring ways to create a more meaningful, fulfilling life. In my one-on-one counselling, I support you in moving through the discomfort that comes with exploring your life’s challenges. Our work together will offer ways to explore what brings meaning to your life and human relationships.

Hello, I am glad you are reading my profile and hope we can connect! My name is Natasha Roop (she/they), and I am a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive therapist. I am Splatsin First Nations and European and am working to help decolonize the field of counselling. Individuals who seek my counselling services want to take back their power and better understand themselves on a deeper level. I work with individuals unpacking their racial, gender and sexual identity and the effects of structures in our society. With other individuals, we process and work through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life changes, and addiction/substance abuse.

Want some help with the "shoulds" and "not good enoughs" so you can feel at peace with yourself and with others? Is your mind spinning with the urgent need to solve the problem but you cannot slow down enough to come to a clear solution? Are these thoughts often about how you should do things to meet the expectations of others or of yourself? You keep trying to measure up but you still feel alone or still don't know what you feel, need or want? You must be so tired, but unable stop spinning. Perhaps you are trying to deal with all this and manage a relationship, family and kids? You deserve to feel content.

I support professionals and students with cross-cultural background to enter into an evidence-based healing process related to attachment wounds and/or trauma. I support those who struggle in building healthy identity and self beliefs and healthy relationships. Using approaches designed for trauma recovery and attachment wound mending, I support clients to process safely their traumatic past experiences, workplace breakdowns, systemic prejudice, and shift out of self-harming, maladaptive behaviours. We explore your story, naming cultural /environmental factors, societal barriers that hold you back from mental/emotional health.

Working with me, you can expect a non-judgmental, compassionate space. I welcome folks exactly as they are. I practice with cultural humility and intersectionality to provide a safe and collaborative relationship that enables clients to get curious about themselves. I help clients deconstruct negative self-beliefs, explore identity conflicts, explore formative familial/cultural dynamics, and develop self-understanding. I combine talk therapy (exploring past and present experiences; and how our emotions, thoughts, and body interact with one another), with attachment theory, emotions-focused therapy, and parts work.

Are you tired of arguing with your child or teen about their grades or completing their homework? Is your child highly sensitive, resistant to feedback, or difficult to motivate? Many parents start to seek educational support services for their child or teen when they receive a less-than-ideal report card from the teacher. Others perhaps start to notice signs that their child or teen may not be performing as well as they are capable of. Regardless of whether your child or teen has a diagnosed learning difficulty, mental health concern, or some other form of neurodiversity, I am here to help restore peace and calm to your family!

As a relationship, individual, and sex focused therapist my purpose is to help you and your partner(s) rebuild connection. If you have low sexual desire in your relationship, are feeling torn about recent infidelity to stay together, or you need tools for effective communication to help your relationship, its likely you are questioning whether to stay in your relationship. In my approach, I seek to deepen your lost connections using the courage and vulnerability you bring into session. There is a space opened for you here to explore your new found sense of meaning and growth through boundaries both with yourself and your partner(s).

Do you feel like you cannot express your true self in relationships? People disappointed you in the past and you are very careful in how you show up to others? Or perhaps strong emotions are making it difficult for you to connect to your close ones? If you are currently struggling in your relationship and it feels like you are stuck in a cycle getting nowhere, conversing about it with a trained professional might just be the next step for you.

I am a Certified Expressive Arts Therapist, a professional member of the International/ Canadian Expressive Arts Therapy Associations. I facilitate healing by bringing together body-mind sensation, psychological life, imagination, and intuition using integrative, multimodal arts processes for personal and transformation. I believe that when people accept themselves just as they are, they can change; imagination, creativity and intuition will give them the capacity to reach down into the depths of the psyche, the spirit, the soul, and the body, transform and be resilient from his suffering.

I always have been drawn to uncovering the complex ways we are impacted the experiences in our lives. In particular the impact of trauma on our resilience and on our 'stuck' places. Our bodies carry the weight of our histories and the histories we inherit. In reprocessing trauma it is necessary for us to be attuned to these somatic experiences and to foster the wisdom stored within our bodies.

With 25 years as a counsellor, I am positive that change is possible. Many of us simply need support and guidance to truly understand ourselves. During our time together, my passion, attention and focus will be dedicated to your wellness, and finding what works best to help you reach your full potential.

Are you longing to feel more connection and satisfaction in your relationships? Are you often feeling sad or anxious? Many of my clients may present to others thar they’re functioning well, but inwardly they may be feeling anxious, alone, and overwhelmed. I am here to support you on your journey to finding more peace, contentment and authenticity in your life and relationships.
