We all need support sometimes. Mental health counselling can be a therapeutic outlet to process difficult emotions, to reconnect with what brings fulfilment to our lives, and to shift our perspective towards self-compassion and kindness towards ourselves. I am excited to connect with individuals and couples seeking counselling services and aim to be adaptive to the needs of all those I work to support. My experience in providing mental health services focuses around managing anxiety and stress, supporting couples in building their connection together, exploring difficulties with depression and mood concerns, and supporting clients

Dr. Henry Chen, PhD, BA, RTC, is a psychotherapist and Teaching Faculty, mentoring students at his clinical practice. His statement: "Mental health support, especially in Asia, is still clouded by stigma today. I am here to ensure that you get the best care for your mental health in a safe and confidential environment. It's not easy deciding to take the first step forward, but know that by just picking up the phone and booking a time with my reception staff, you have already taken that first step. Put down the phone after you've called us and give yourself a pat on the back; that was your first step toward your desired lifestyle."

I am registered to practice in BC. Equally importantly I am a husband, father and grandfather.

Currently accepting male clients & couples. I support Men heal their relationship with themselves and to those who are in their life. The relationship you have with yourself is the most important one, how you communicate with yourself will be a direct reflection of how you communicate with the world around you. You may have built up internal defences to block you from feeling your emotional experience from a young age out of a need to survive and fit in, all the while boosting your performance-based esteem. We work on your relationship with yourself first and then to those around you in your life to start the reconnection process.

…Are you overwhelmed, anxious and fighting burnout? Is motivation hard to find through foggy autopilot? How are your career and relationships doing through all that? Perhaps you’re hitting a wall of self-critical exhaustion in a life that turned out very different than what you’d expected. Chances are you are living life led by too much logic, willpower and what you think you ‘should’ do. In most cases this comes from having sustained overwhelming periods in childhood or later in life where we realized no one was coming to save us. The nervous system compensated through feeling too much in some cases and too little in others.

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.

Many of us have experienced the impacts of negative stories or beliefs about ourselves. These stories can serve to separate us from our preferred ways of living and being in the world. Have you had these types of experiences? Has this resulted in anxiety, depression, anger, low self-worth and/or despair or challenges with substance use? My work is focused on supporting you to renegotiate your relationship to these unhelpful stories. I am skilled at supporting people to (re)connect with their values, and hopes and to develop a new and preferred picture of themselves.

Not good enough. Not lovable enough. Helpless. Hopeless. Do you feel bullied by thoughts like these day in and day out? The sad fact is negative thoughts can stay with you long after abuse and neglect have passed. And they can be even more powerful when they gang up on you with your body, so you feel depressed and anxious. This can leave you struggling with an altered sense of yourself and the world.

The sad fact is negative thoughts can stay with you long after abuse and neglect have passed. And they can be even more powerful when they gang up on you with your body, so you feel depressed and anxious. This can leave you struggling with an altered sense of yourself and the world.

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.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
